Identity Texts & Project-Based Learning - E119
Living Hyphen website
ESL classes with a project-based learning lens (creating a book about immigration and settlement challenges)
Dual language writing pieces
Teams: events, graphic design, publicity, presentation, podcasting, sales, production managers
Oakville News Article
Lots of due dates, quick turnaround time (less than 1 month!)
Book launch - reached out to classes, board members, local media
Presentation - process of creating the book, sharing some entries
Tools used - Canva (needs auto-generating page numbers!), used anonymized accounts to protect student privacy
Big wins: courage to share their journey (some were not happy)
Roadblocks: low proficiency ELLs and/or new arrivals (how to get them involved to help build language)
Going Forward: Give yourself more time, let the students take ownership (give up control), make the role expectations explicit, connect with feeder schools
Find those opportunities for elementary and secondary schools to overlap to build relationships
If you are in the Oakville, ON area and are interested in getting a copy of the book, reach out to us!
