Description

This project illustrates the work of a grade 4 teacher who collaborated with colleagues to create a multiliteracy committee, developed a dual language and multicultural curricular focus in her classroom and in partnership with a grade seven teacher. Students worked in pairs to develop dual language stories. These stories were written and translated by students, often with the help of their parents. The dual language books that were created are a testament to the wealth and importance of students' first language literacies and cultural resources and the significant role it plays in the English medium classroom.
