Featured Teacher: Meg Marsh
Name: Meg Marsh School : L.C. Swain Middle School in Greenacre, Florida Subject(s) you teach: Full Sheltered ESOL Reading/Language Arts Grade Level(s): 7th and 8th Grade
How Meg uses educational rap in and out of the classroom:
Our school, L.C. Swain Middle School, is a six year old Title One school in Greenacres, Florida, about 30 minutes (and a whole world away) north of Boca Raton. It is about 55% Hispanic, 30% African-American /Haitian, and 15% everything else.
We are an “A” rated school because we have continually improved with each year of our existence, meeting the necessary requirements to advance, but 75% of our population is on free or reduced lunch and many live in trailers or in multi family apartments. I teach fully sheltered ESOL students (ESL up north), as there is a large population of English language learners in southern Florida. I love my kids!
Recent successes:
My students learn so well with music; and they told me that by remembering the lyrics to “Figurative Language” helped them with the many new poetry questions on the test this year - really!!
Anything that you’d love to have people know:
My students are going to make a video of their performance, which they are presenting to parents for our ELL Multicultural Party in May.
You have a great product and I look forward to using it more , in new and different ways!
From RRR: We're so glad to hear of your successes with RRR in your fully-sheltered ESOL classrooms. We're looking forward to seeing the video, and wish you and your students the best for their performance at the ELL Multicultural Party in May!
