A group of students from the Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics are scheduled for a visit April 18-20. I've been communicating with Amanda over Skype to work out the details.
Yesterday I went to the Choctaw archives to find some samples of literacy materials. The challenge for the students is making "big books" - large sized story books for use with large groups of students. The storybooks I found in the archives were in the School alphabet, not the Modern alphabet. Literacy teacher, Pam, is very excited about having the students come to visit. She's looking forward to their insight and support.
