The final project will help you synthesize what we’ve learned in this course and demonstrate your knowledge of the course content. For the final project, you will position yourself as a classroom teacher and design a survey for your emergent bilingual students to learn about their backgrounds, experiences, interests, needs, etc. In a group of two or three, you will design 10 questions to include in the survey. Each question will be followed by a rationale paragraph explaining (1) what information is collected from the question, (2) why you believe the information is important for you to know as a teacher, and (3) how you will use the information to facilitate learning and teaching. You will cite at least one course reading in each rationale paragraph. The questions could be open-ended questions or close-ended questions, and each rationale paragraph should be about 250 words.
In the concluding section, you will explain how you plan to conduct the survey. In particular, you will respond to the following questions:

To Whom will you give this survey? What are their grade level and English proficiency level(s)?
When do you plan to have the students complete the survey and why? (e.g., the first day of school so that you can collect information as soon as possible? wait until the students feel more comfortable?)
How do you want the students to fill out the survey (on their own, in pairs/groups, with parents…) and why?
What accommodations/support will you provide if the students do not understand the questions or do not know how to respond to the questions in writing?

The concluding section should be about 250 words. The deadline for submission is 3/11 (Mon.) by 5:00 PM. No late submission will be accepted. Please check the Canvas for more information about this assignment.
