Something I think I could collect are audio/video samples of students actually using their idioms either in groups, in front of the class or by themselves. I also could collect writing from them in which they write sentences using idioms.
What I hope that would help me know about my students learning is who is still grappling with the concept of idioms and who truly understands them. It might get me to regear who I give remediation to and who I put my efforts towards.
What I'm thinking now about my inquiry is how to involve parents and carry this project home and see if students see the connections outside of school and hear idioms said either on tv or somewhere else.

1. The data I've collected since last time: As data I collected individual and group work. I collected individual idiom tests and group posters giving examples of two idioms.
2. My first impressions from what I'm taking away from this data is that many of my students understand idioms and many of them do not. I chose focal students that seem to understand idioms but that are very different. I chose 3 boys and 3 girls. 3 of the students use English more frequently whereas the other 3 mostlly use Spanish. From looking at the data I can tell that stome students are cognitevly more ready to break apart idioms and understand the idea. I'm trying to assess their learning in multiple ways.
