The document discusses the WIDA program for teaching English to language learners and proposes a supplemental project. It notes that WIDA allows for large-scale implementation, individualization for students, and success in academic English. However, it suggests greater emphasis on developing everyday English skills and use of English outside school. The supplemental project would involve students relating their daily life experiences as immigrants through a presentation, such as by keeping a journal of experiences and sharing themes with family and friends. The proposed benefits include expressing themselves, practicing everyday and academic English, and building connections across social gaps.
