Abstract
I am currently a student teacher at a charter school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My class is a self-contained 7th and 8th grade ELL classroom, where the cooperating teacher (CT) teaches all content classes. In English Language Arts (ELA) this month, students were assigned to write a personal friendship story. Prior to writing, students were asked to fill out a graphic organizer with three columns: (1) My Friends, (2) Places I have Friends, and (3) Things I like to do with Friends.

The other student is a refugee from Tanzania, who came to the U.S around the same time, but became a registered student in March of 2020, just before the pandemic hit
Under the column for “Things I Like to do with Friends,” my student from Burundi wrote, “Washing dishes.”
She enjoyed washing the dishes because it was a social community activity amongst the women
