the Spanish Missions connected to our Mission!

Ms. Wolfe's ELL Newcomers recently studied the trail and purposes of the Spanish Missions in their Social Studies class. In the culmination of this study, the class wrote and word processed a short story giving details of the purpose and architecture. Their writing was recreated into a visual presentation by using the flipcamera. Everyone enjoyed watching this first filmed "speaking lesson" so we watched each one's presentation about 4 times! The students have increased their spoken vocabulary by this activity and are eager to write another story to be read on film. CAW
