<p>Hello Selena,</p>
<p> I enjoyed your lesson you presented in class and the way you differentiated the lesson for heritage language (HL) and second language (L2) learners. It is important to help all students to achieve academically and as teachers we must find the best strategies.

<p>Hello Selena,</p>
<p> I enjoyed your lesson you presented in class and the way you differentiated the lesson for heritage language (HL) and second language (L2) learners. It is important to help all students to achieve academically and as teachers we must find the best strategies. According to Tomlinson (2001) it is important to recognize our students in order to provide the right approaches based on their profiles, cultural backgrounds, proficiency levels and other factors. By differentiating the activities for this two groups of HL and L2 students will be beneficial for you and your students, based on how students perform you will be able to address any struggles they have while learning the target language.

<p>Hello Evelyn:</p>
<p> Your teaching presentation was well presented and very informative. The main topic of your lesson, “Día de los Muertos” has a lot information to share and you can create different activities for the students.

<p>Hello Evelyn:</p>
<p> Your teaching presentation was well presented and very informative. The main topic of your lesson, “Día de los Muertos” has a lot information to share and you can create different activities for the students. Additionally, learning about this important event in Mexico can be a valuable learning experience for students. Students will explore, learn and compare the differences between Día de los Muertos and Halloween in the target language (TL). According to Tomlinson (2001) educators must provide meaningful lessons for their students in order to keep them engage and arouse curiosity in them to learn something new. Since students are learning new vocabulary, it is important to show them these new words in context. In addition to the visuals you included in your activities, students will be able to comprehend better the TL. (135)</p>

<p> The activities were differentiated and precise, based on Tomlinson (2001) As educators, we know that each learner must make meaning of what we seek to teach, and know that meaning-making process is influenced by the student’s prior understandings, interests and beliefs.</p>

Tomlinson (2001) states the importance of giving students not more work to do, and other less but instead finding an adequate form of instruction that would benefit heritage language (HL) and second language (L2) learners.

<p> The video presented gave students the opportunity for students to acquire an overall idea of what the lesson was going to be about and the amount of colorful visuals can only help a student with its learning to keep them engaged and actively participant.</p>

<p>Hi Selena,</p>
<p>I’m strongly agree with you when you mention that good educators can adapt the class with different styles based on the needs of the students.

<p>I’m strongly agree with you when you mention that good educators can adapt the class with different styles based on the needs of the students. The lesson that you presented in class had culture about Dominican Republic and Nicaragua and the characteristics in the food from those countries. Another important factor is the differentiation that teachers need to address in heritage learners. Almost every classroom in United States has Heritage learners that have different needs from second learners, even though these students may had been expose to the language, the majority of them need help grammatical, and with the different linguistic variations that we may find in the Latino communities.

<p>In my third teaching lesson the topic that I chose (Day of Dead) was connected to the American tradition of Halloween. I found this topic very interesting because a student can identity this Mexican holiday of Día de los Muertos with similar aspects as shown in Halloween.

<p>In my third teaching lesson the topic that I chose (Day of Dead) was connected to the American tradition of Halloween. I found this topic very interesting because a student can identity this Mexican holiday of Día de los Muertos with similar aspects as shown in Halloween. However, Día de los Muertos is more cultural and students can add knowledge about this tradition to their life. This lesson was reading comprehension based, and students were supposed to add new vocabulary and understand the meaning behind Día de Muertos. As Tomlinson (2001) highlights,” All students need lessons that are coherent, relevant, powerful, transferrable, authentic and meaningful,” (p. 49).</p>
<p>For my presentation I used a small hook where I presented a video about the Día de Muertos where students had to listen to a song with facts about the tradition, this video guided them to answer the first activity of the presentation. This teaching act6vity helped me gain knowledge on how to properly develop activities based on a passage. For this teaching activity I also had the opportunity to differentiate activities for heritage learner students and challenge them to do more.</p>
<p>If I had the opportunity to teach this class again, I would like to provide or to bring meaningful items or objects to the class like pan de Muertos, traditional flowers, or have an activity for the students to create their own Catrina mask. This way this presentation would provide more knowledge of the culture that we are presenting. Also I will take into consideration the level of the students before to be realistic when I ask them to do an activity, for example in this lesson I was asking for 100 words which seems to demanding or too high for the students and I will bring it down to 75 to make it more realistic and authentic.

Another good point that you did great in your teaching lesson was your topic, it was very authentic, and I agree with you when you mention that Día de Muertos is something that we mostly see in every single classroom. The format and the way that you did the topic even though it has similar points it mentioned different traditions and places that I wasn’t even aware of and I’m Mexican, thanks to you I now know more about my own culture.

<p> On the third micro-teaching activity presented in class helped me how to prepare a differentiate lesson for heritage language (HL) and second language (L2) learners. As an educator, it is important to provide our students the right approaches that would work best in the learning and the acquisition of the target language (TL). Tomlinson (2001) discusses how teachers apply different approaches that focus on what, how and how students produce what they have learned in the classrooms. Both groups present differences. According to Beaudrie, Ducar and Potowski (2014) it is important to recognize these differences such as; students’ backgrounds, level of proficiency, etc. that students bring to the classrooms. For instance, some activities were differentiated on my lesson.</p>
<p> The first activity was based on a video presented in class; students were asked to answer questions in pairs. Additionally, the video was simple to comprehend, and it presented a lot of vocabulary for the whole lesson. It would be a collaboratively activity, therefore, students will think, pair and share with their peers. During the practice phrase, I differentiated the activity for both groups. They had the same reading activity, but a differentiation was made for the L2 learners. For example, HL learners had questions based on Barranquilla’s carnival. They were asked to write full sentences in order to challenge them in the TL. Through this, HL students can strengthen their knowledge in the HL. On the other hand, L2 learners had the same questions, but they had sentence starters to facilitate them to complete the questions in the TL. It would be effective to provide the L2 students with starters because it would serve as a support since they are just learning the topic. Overall, the activity would keep both groups engage. Lastly, just like the first activity in the presentation part, little differentiation was made. In this activity students will have to write about any Hispanic celebration. It was prepared to be performed in pairs. An HL and L2 learners will work cooperatively in order to exchange knowledge and support each other while producing the TL. (346)</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I strongly agree when you states “culture should go hand to hand with the language.” I belive it is an essential part of our languages, our past, our present. Language without cultural relevance is nearly useless. Culture must be considered in foreign language teaching because the main purpose of learning a foreign language is to learn the customs and traditions of the speech community, and to become competent for communication with speakers of the foreign language (Lee and VanPatten, 2003). On the other hand, the lesson was well presented, since the activity was appropriate for SLL and HLS. I liked the activity you proposed and the way you introduced questions about a traditional Mexican festivity. Overall, you did a good job. (121 words)</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> You did a really good job creating a micro-teaching activity about differentiating instruction between Heritage Language Students as well Second Language Learners. It is a teacher's responsibility to provide a lesson where students feel comfortable and welcomed around others. I found your lesson strong because is not only contained essential concepts for us as future educators, but also to gain more exposure to a different aspect of designing a lesson. According to Tomlinson (2001), there are many factors that affect HLS programs in the U.S. which need to be taken into consideration in order to make educating this unique group effective. For this reason, teachers need to be aware of their students' needs, backgrounds, learning profiles and interests. (119 words)</span></p>
