EL Teaching and Learning Resources (Jean)

1. Read - Write - Think (K-12)

A resourceful website for Language Arts and 'Language & Literature' approaches to EL. Provides a host of creative lesson plans and resources, such as worksheets and online tools and games, to do with language use in texts. Examples of elements explored in lesson plans: plot structure, vocabulary, APCC (Audience, Purpose, Context, Culture), personal responses to texts and stories, comics and narratives.

2. Inspirational Stories

Nothing like good tidbits of inspirational stories to keep your students going, both in terms of language and morale. Students love reading whatever is relevant to them, and a bite-size of text each lesson might do wonders to their reading and writing ability in the long run. And while we're at it, why not inspirational stories to keep their moods and esteems up in the very-draining classroom? (Wow, this sounds uncannily like an advert)

3. National Geographic Lesson Plans
Lesson plans and resources for higher-ability pupils to improve reading, analytical and argumentative skills. Useful and relevant since many comprehension passages deal with physical and social world issues.
