We are ending here.... we will revisit in a couple of weeks or early next year, as the language grows the ability to utilize PBL will become evident.  Right now the boys are just trying to figure everything out.  We benefited by this PBL because we talked about communication and it's benefits. We talked about the past, present and future uses of communication.  I just need to continue to work on how I might get them to an independent project result in this case, considering that they have very limited language ability.

We reached out to Michigan works, and they connected us to a contact that came from Dominican Republic. The boys were able to hear from some one from their hope community in D. R. that came to America and went through the same communication struggles that they are having. It was good conversation for everyone about struggle and perseverance and reward.

Expert Jigsaw. Today we had plans for reading separately, three articles and jigsawing the information verbally. We are not quite to that stage of communication, so I found one article that talked about the importance of setting goals. This relates to our topic because goals in education has to revolve around improving communication. The first pages were low lexile in English, and a normal lexile in Spanish. We used the English examples to highlight the words they could read and understand, and the Spanish one to bring the message home!
