Research 2 articles that specifically address how to meet the needs of English Language Learners in your future content area classrooms (if you have difficulty finding content specific articles, you can choose best practices in education for English Language Learners). Focus specifically on the areas of literacy. The articles should come from the ERIC database with which Trinity is contracted and to which you have access. You may only use articles from the World Wide Web if the articles are peer-reviewed and from a reputable journal. Write a 1 page summary of the articles, followed by a 1-2 page reflection. Format the paper according to the APA guidelines (cover page, font, margins, etc.). In no more than 1 page, summarize the articles. Do not summarize each article separately; synthesize the two articles as you write. Reflect on the articles. Dig deep. Use the following questions to guide your reflection: ● Do I agree? Why or why not? ● What are the advantages and disadvantages of integrating the content represented in the article in my future classroom? ● How did the articles help me in preparation for meeting the needs of English Language Learners in my future classroom? ● How do the articles suggest I build literacy skills for English Language Learners in my content area classroom?
