// Hey, Bethany, //

// Have you developed any answers to your question yet based on the readings, resources, and discussions from class? //

// Rather than language choices leading to a split identity, is it more realistic to think that they make us more of a well-rounded and language-rich people? Do we code-switch already? How do we alter our language choices? How might we build upon this in the ELA classroom? I look forward to hearing your thoughts... //
