For our ELL students, we will encourage that they utilize google translate in some portions of their portfolio, so that they can include both languages they speak. One thing I want to emphasize is the ability for these students to really showcase their own language and culture, so that when they present these, other students can gain understanding of language and the power of translation and understanding.

Using guided instruction, for the next portion of class I will walk each student through the steps to creating their own google site. As a class we will go each step at a time, making sure every student is in the same place, and no one is left behind. This helps students feel heard and that they have ample support on this project.

Students will come into class and complete and answer a journal question of the day asking if they feel comfortable with technology. After they answer these questions, I will have the class come together to have a discussion about the questions. I will ask if the feel comfortable, what questions they have, and answer any other questions they might have about the upcoming assignment. This helps students feel more comfortable and willing to ask questions.

For the remainder of class, students will work independently to start creating their website. I have two ELL students and after speaking with my team, we found a way to translate google sites in spanish so that when these students are working on these projects they can navigate the website in a way that feels comfortable.

Within my Cowboy 101 class, I am having students do a project which allows them to create their own portfolio using a website builder. On this website they can use pictures, videos, text, language, and translation to project themselves and their passions in a safe space. The purpose of this assignment is to let students express themselves online in an appropriate way, while also creating their own multimodal artifact utilizing all areas of communication and language.

For this project we also want students to incorporate many different forms of media in order to communicate. For my ELL students, both of them communicate very well through art and drawings so that can also use art, and imagery as a form of communication and a way to demonstrate themselves and who they are.

We want to ensure that our ELL students are using language as one of the focuses within the online portfolio, because we believe that it is an important aspect of who they are. They will have the choice to use google translate, but if they do we want them to explain why it is helpful or why it may be more difficult and how they best understand language.
