Fires Chapter 8

Chapter 8 was totally not what I ever expected to read about in this book. It had to do with teaching students who's first language isn't English.
There are a lot of good ideas in this chapter on how to teach successfully to a classroom full of limited speakers. I never thought about this at all because it is nothing I have ever really been around. Coming from a very small town in Maine, everybody spoke English and no teacher ever had the challenge of teaching kids who couldn't speak English well. That has got to be so challenging and to be honest I do not know if I could do it. I would try my hardest but I'm not sure what the outcome would be. I hope that won't make me a bad teacher.
