Master of Technology Management Plan II Graduate Projects

Utilizing the language as much as possible is essential to evolving high levels of proficiency and developing communicative competence; however, world language students often do not get the chance to speak the second language …

The core of my honors project includes a 12-day unit plan for teaching creative writing in the form of narratives.

The website link is: teachcreatewrite.weebly.com. All materials for the unit plan are broken down by day, and I chose to expand upon 3 days in a short lesson plan template.
