Instructional Ideas

  • Instead of writing poems on chart paper, print and display them with a document camera, or mirror a digital copy from your mobile learning device
  • Invite learners to search and discuss other places around the world where they could imagine themselves living
  • In case pupils do not know their contact information, make it their homework to memorize their address and phone number

 

Classroom Considerations

  • Some materials referenced are not included; but with modifications, the ESL lessons remain applicable for your classroom
  • The unit was designed as part of the Houghton Mifflin English language arts curriculum; it can also be taught on its own or with another curriculum 

Pros

  • Additional support tips, as well as multi-level response suggestions, are provided 
  • Teacher directions are written clearly and in detail 

Cons

  • None
