Learning a Second Language Article with Questions
After students have been introduced to annotating articles with highlighting, asking questions, and writing symbols and comments, this I used in my upper beginning class to reinforce those skills.

World English 2 Unit 5 Writing Assignment
This is the writing assignment I used with World English 2 Unit 5. It took most students about 45 minutes to complete in class, including planning.

The emphasis is on using description and simple present tense. >Writing […]
