The Homes we Carry: Annotated Neighborhood Maps in our Classrooms
Session 3 on Friday, March 11, from 4:15-4:45PM (PT)
The Annotated Neighborhood Map Writing Tool demonstrates that students’ home cultures are valued, facilitates peer-peer discussion, and serves as the first step in the writing process. Typically used for personal narrative, it can generate poetry, academic essays and other genres. It can serve ELLs at various ages and language levels.
