Double Entry Journal #8

One reason it is a mistake to group all English as a Second Language Learners together is these students could be form completely different places on the world. These students would be given the same instructions without out taking their previous experiences into consideration. Another reason would be some of the students may have never heard of English before while others in their group have at least been exposed to English. One more reason it is a mistake would be that some of the student's primary language could be Latin based. If the students primary language is Latin based then they are more likely to adapt to English while other students in their group struggle.   

A virtual backpack is something a student brings to class everyday. In the "backpack" is what the students has learned from personal interactions outside of the classroom. Such as knowledges, skills, morals and values. This relates to Funds of Knowledge because it shows that students learn numerous things outside of class. Not only do they gain knowledge and skills from personal interaction but also are shaped into the person they become.
