Tina Openshaw Hello, my name is Tina Openshaw. I am an English as a Second Language teacher for Sevierville Primary School in Sevier County, Tennessee. My first and second graders love to learn English by reading, writing, listening, acting and drawing the words. Through these multi actions the students comprehend the meanings of the words and can apply these strategies to new learning.

=Literacy Environment= This literacy environment was done by my supervisor Jennifer during one of my regular observations. We noticed I did not have technology resources in the room, but that was quickly squelched when a desktop was installed. =Self Evaluation Checklist for Literacy Lessons=



=Professional Conference Reflection= Tennessee Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages - TNTESOL - 3/14/2012 to 3/17/2012



English as a Second Language teachers from all over the state of Tennessee converged in Nashville to partake in an intensive four day professional development. There were a multitude of of sessions offered to meet the many needs of an ELL student. I returned to Sevierville Primary ready to implement many of the reading, writing and technology lessons from the conference into my daily lesson plans. I had the opportunity to meet and speak with Dr. Stephen Krashen about ELL's and reading. His main point was to have them read, read, and read!
