Lesson 4 -- GVRL
1. The title I chose was "Scholarships, Fellowships and Loans." The reason I chose this title is because I have been thinking I would like to get my masters in Spanish Language through Concordia College's masters program and I wanted to see what was available in the way of grants and scholarships. I do not want to get a loan if I can avoid it. Through this volume I found several scholarships related to foreign language studies which is very encouraging. I can also see a potential for my students to use this volume when they are ready to apply for scholarships in their chosen field.
2. For the second part of this lesson I went back to the manatee. I found six articles related to that topic. The one I chose to look at was "Habitat Loss and Species Extinction" by Brian Hoyle. This article was very interesting and informative. The read aloud feature allows the student to listen to the article while doing more research and I can see it would help students who are slow readers but also who are ELL learners because it helps in their pronunciation and the student can read aloud at the same time as the computer is reading to them to practice and listen for cognates to help them decipher the text.
Thanks for your great comments, profe Lunde! The read aloud is useful for ELL and those with reading or vision difficulties. I like it to hear those medical & scientific terms. Glad you found something potential opportunities through the Scholarship book. I will caution that the copyright of that book is 2007, so be sure to go to the sponsor's website as given in Gale Virtual Reference Library to get the most up-to-date information.
