Today was my first day with my ELL student, from Myanmar. Her english was really remarkable, but she told me that she would really appreciate if I took notes for her because, although she could speak English fairly well, it was difficult for her to keep up with what was being talked about in class. I took notes for her and I hope that this will help her in the future. Her class was American Government, and I can only imagine how much more difficult this class would be for someone who is completely new to the system, as apposed to someone who has grown up with it their entire lives. I myself have a difficult time grasping how our government works. The teacher also handed back progress reports today, and her grades were not great, because very few assignments were submitted. She shared with me that she does not know how to use Canvas, an assignment submission tool we also use at Saint Mike’s. I told her I could help her learn how to use it whenever we had a free chance, and she was thrilled. Hopefully I can help her!
