Court Case is Castaneda v. Pickard

Language Element: Syntax

Step 1: Research your court case. Explore what happened in the case and how it may have influenced the education of English learners.

Step 2: Create a slide, using PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Keynote, presenting the court case. Your slide format is flexible, but it must include at least the following information:

  • Who were the major players in the case (i.e., who were the plaintiffs and defendants)?
  • What was the complaint or argument of the plaintiff?
  • What was the decision made by the court?
  • How did this impact English learner instruction going forward?
  • Citations for references you used for your research.

** I can always create the slide, using PowerPoint, but if you can have each bullet labeled and answer question below it.
