Connection:
We have recently been trying to read a lot of
books with simple sentences in English lately. The
noun is a very important part of the sentences in these
books because it is often the main subject matter and
is essential to the construction of a sentence. All of
you have used sentences that have nouns in them.
Have any of you seen or recognized a noun in your
books?
Attention Grabber:
Some of you may already know a little bit
about nouns. Ask your neighbor if they know what a
noun is or if they know how to use one!

Article Summaries
The article, Ecological English Language Learning Among Ethnic Minority
Youth, by Noah E. Borrero and Christine J. Yeh describes and shows results of how
bilingual students learn English socially can help them academically. In public schools
speaking more than one language is often over looked even though there is an increasing
number of bilingual students in the school systems. Students learn to adapt their language
use according to the environment, situation, and interpersonal dynamics (Hawkins, 2004;
Orellana & Bowman, 2003; Paris, 2010).Some examples include; sports the students
participate in require them to speak English while church events or other events allow
them to speak their own native language. This article also has tables and results of
questions asked to students of how they learn and practice English on their own and in
school situations.
The article, Language for Learning: Supporting English Language Learners to Meet
the Challenges of New Standards, also describes and points out the importance of
bilingual students learning English socially to help them academically. It states different
methods for helping English language learners. One of these is to have the students work
in groups and come up with concepts based on an example given by the teacher. This
article also explains how language for learning can also help in other classes besides
English; for example, math, science, and reading.
