Room: Arkansas

presented by Jerry LeSage, MYP Coordinator, Ridgeview Charter Middle School
Sarah Yvonne Gluck Perez, Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), Ridgeview Charter School

How can English language learners, special, gifted and regular education students participate in an MYP unit? Using the Hispanic Heritage celebration as a backdrop, teachers at Ridgeview Charter Middle School went beyond tacos and flags to incorporate movie making, poetry, quilt making, musical presentations and other activities to provide ways for all students to actively participate in the celebration. Attendees will experience and participate in a number of the activities created for this unit.
