Using Creative Ways to Engage English Language Learners

My Project

As a teacher of English Language Learners, I am always looking for creative ways to engage students in their learning and incorporate each culture into our school community.

My goal for this project is to give students materials such as the paper, crayons, and markers to create creative, artistic books and posters to share their culture with the students at our school.

My students come from many different counties and speak languages such as Arabic, Turkish, Ukrainian, Haitian Creole, and Spanish. They have many traditions to share with our school community!
