Q1     The first three weeks will focus on increasing reading comprehension and vocabulary, as well as “understanding that cultural speak(ghetto or cultural dialect) has its’ place, but speaking a common language allows us to communicate, and be understood in business places.

 

Use of the arts (drawing to skits) in group work, as well as manipulatives for expressing and processing information learned in readings, and math is also useful as an evaluating tool. The students responsibility for learning, and ‘doing your very best at all times’ is stressed each morning during “Rap Time.” The Rap time Sessions are to build self esteem and have student in put what was done the day before and how it could have been done better.

 

Focus on the proper way to use a dictionary, reaching conclusions based on research, current events and the history that affects our communities is our basic curriculum. Responses in writing, verbal presentations, and visuals using the format taught is interesting and empowering as the student becomes enthusiastic because the issues are relevant and age sensitive. This summer experience is meant to instill a positive outlook on learning as a tool for progress, and to influence the student’s out look on lifelong learning. Youth, especially, are visual learners and will have additional tools for learning thus decreasing summer learning loss.
