Power of Words: ASD Multilingual Students Read Original Poetry and Prose

Abstract

Approximately 20 multilingual Anchorage School District students, grades seven through 12, will read original poetry and prose they have written during this summer's ASD/UAA Summer Academy. The Summer Academy is a partnership between ASD's English Language Learner Program and UAA's College Preparatory and Developmental Studies Department. Through this exciting collaboration, over 200 students have spent three and a half weeks on campus. They are earning high school math and English credit from team-taught courses by ASD teachers and UAA faculty. Students are also earning UAA credit for a University Studies course.
