This document summarizes a study on using freewriting in an English language learner (ELL) classroom. The study examined what happens when ELL students engage in freewriting activities in their English class. Data was collected through student writing samples, observations, interviews, surveys, and field notes. Analysis found that freewriting helped students learn writing, learn through writing, and become more independent learners.

Wheat, sorghum, and bajra (pearl millet) are susceptible to various pests that can significantly impact crop yields. Common pests include aphids, stem borers, shoot flies, and armyworms. Aphids feed on plant sap, weakening the plants, while stem borers and shoot flies damage the stems and shoots, leading to dead hearts and reduced growth. Armyworms, on the other hand, are voracious feeders that can cause extensive defoliation and grain damage. Effective management strategies, including resistant varieties, cultural practices, and targeted pesticide applications, are essential to mitigate pest damage and ensure healthy crop production.Pests of Maize: An comprehensive overview.pptx

Editor's Notes
- #3: Before we show you the class, wed like to share a little information with you.
- #4: This was the development team (introduce them)
- #5: we came home from a meeting with the chancellors office and the governors officemeeting with an idea that we called The Perfect Storm.We were experiencing a state-wide economic crisis that left students waiting at the registration door without enough classes to go around.油 Cuts were being made at every college.油 At ours, the entry level courses that meet the needs of students needing to remediate into college level courses were cut in favor of the transfer level courses.油 Our big concern was what do people who dont assess into college level classes do now?we sat down with two of our English faculty members and we decided to try to put together an open course designed to help students assess into freshman composition or at least, into the next level down instead of three levels below the transfer level comp course!we was put in touch with Daphne Koller at Coursera through the people at our state chancellors office and had a series of conversations with her about educating the world and serving students such as ours in the process.油 She agreed to have Coursera host our course, if we could build it. We started planning.Within weeks, there was a request for proposals from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that addressed just what we were trying to do, build entry level classes.油 We applied and were funded for $50,000 to develop and implement a basic writing MOOC in partnership with Coursera.
- #6: Say a little about each.
- #11: But our marketing was poor or non existant!
- #12: Cant say that these were students, except in this class. Life long learning? Session one had 60% not students elsewhere.
- #14: In discussions students from 11-75
