SUMMARY:Flujo and Flow: Writing the Translanguaging Corriente

Bilingual students make use of the translanguaging corriente\, either overtly or covertly\, to learn content and language in school and to make sense of their complex worlds and identities.”  \nWith this metaphor from Ibarra-Johnson\, Garcia\, Seltzer (The Translanguaging Classroom\, 2017) in mind\, we will focus in on how it applies to writing and: \n\nEngage in writing\, discussion\, and storytelling activities across and beyond named languages that you can bring to your own classroom\nExamine a variety of translanguaging books and writings and consider how they can serve as mentor texts for bilingual student writers\nConsider how to listen to and leverage the translanguaging corriente in your classroom to boost students’ joy and skill in writing across content areas\n\nTARGET AUDIENCE: K-12 educators

SUMMARY:Weekend Language Detectives: Keeping Authors Agency Alive K-8
DESCRIPTION:Register Now\n  \n\nDate: Sunday\, November 13\, 2022\nPresenter: Michele Yanong\nECPD Credit Hours: 2 hours\n\nEvent ID: 235503035\n\n\n\n\nWeekend Language Detectives: Keeping Authors Agency Alive K-8\n\nAre you worried about your reluctant or rebellious writers? Come talk about why we should be more concerned about the writers that stay inside our prescriptive writing parameters.  \nIn this workshop\, we will explore how to conceptualize writing time to be a world of choice\, independence\, and inquiry that lets writers draw upon their language\, interests\, culture\, and experiences.  Providing intentional moments of student agency (about content\, style\, structure\, format\, etc.)\, will allow your writers to develop a strong writing identity and engage more fully in the writing process. Leave with ready-to-use resources and protocols to use in your classroom! \nTARGET AUDIENCE: K-8 General Educators\, Content Area Specialists\, Language Support Teachers and Everyone Else
