Family roleary17 https://padlet.com/roleary17/7nb3ig30i4qma41b/wish/716143979 This lesson is organized around the theme of family. As such, it provides students with listening and reading activities about which they have strong background knowledge. Throughout the lesson, students build their understanding of English texts by drawing on their native languages and relevant experiences to read and analyze mentor texts about families who have immigrated to the Bay Area. At the conclusion of the lesson, students draw from the language and text patterns of the mentor text to develop their own texts about immigrating to their new city.]]> 2020-09-02 19:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/roleary17/7nb3ig30i4qma41b/wish/716143979 02.

Creating and Framing Questions about the Past: What is Human Migration? roleary17 https://padlet.com/roleary17/7nb3ig30i4qma41b/wish/1743346005 The purpose for this lesson is for students to establish background knowledge on the concept of human migration.
