Coming to America - 2016 Fulmore Middle School ESOL Projects

Interview and stories produced by Fulmore Middle School students under the direction of the Texas Folklife Stories team and ESOL teacher Dana Cook. In these stories, students discuss international experiences; life as refugees; the cultures of Latin America, Africa, and Afghanistan; and coming to the U.S. The students who participated in this program were mostly recent immigrants or refugees who were just beginning to learn English at the time of our program.
