To create a visual resource in the classroom for students, through English language explanation, we created a multi-lingual debate glossary on large sheets of paper hung from the wall of the classroom. Key debate vocabulary is now accessible in French, Moldovan, Russian, Turkmen, Romanian, Bulgarian and Bosnian. | ||

Homework Assignments
Assignment #! — Persuasive Writing Click here to read what students wrote Assignment #2 — Pre-Production for Your Media Project Free Software for Creating Public Media
 Free and affordable software is essential for citizen journalism, so that any citizen can create media without requiring a professional budget. This kind of software does exist as an alternative to the very expensive professional tools. For example, Adobe's Photoshop can be replaced by Gimp, a free, downloadable, open-source image manipulation program. Another alternative would be to use a program built into your computer's operating system. For example, instead of using Final Cut Pro or Avid for video editing, you can use iMovie if your computer has a Mac OS, or Windows Movie Maker if you have a Windows OS. Open-Source Software
