Project description:
I wanted to become more familiar and more comfortable with Moodle. I decided to place a prompt on the Moodle page so the students could respond via the computer for my access to their question.
We were reading a story about a young migrant worker. The students’ prompt was “A stranger” and they were asked if there was ever a time when they felt like a foreigner/stranger in a situation. If so, when? And what happened to resolve the situation?
Upon reading their responses, I was able to gain an insight and a view of the school and their situation I may not have previously considered.
From here I can use their responses as teachable moments/character ed pieces and also for grammar review.

En mi vida, me he sentido como un extranjero, cuando llegué a la escuela de Lindbergh. Yo no conocía a nadie y la escuela era mucho mas larguísima que lo que había visto. Las clases eran muy duras y difíciles y no tenía amigos por muchas semanas. Me sentí muy triste. Un día conocí a una chica que no conocía a muchas personas tampoco. Nos hicimos amigos. Por muchas semanas, yo no tenía a nadie a ser mi amigo, pero cuando me encontré con la chica, sentía mucho mejor y nos encontramos con más personas. Finalmente, conocí muchos amigos. Se puso feliz y ahora hoy tengo un montón de amigos en la escuela de Lindbergh.
I do feel the lesson was successful. Timing of the project/assignment was not the best at the end of the semester. I can see me doing a comparable activity related to the students' reading and personalizing that which they read. I was impressed by the students' reflection on the question. I also had a sense of satisfaction upon seeing their follow through and their posts.
