It provides examples of sentences and asks students to underline specific parts of speech - nouns, verbs, subjects, and predicates.

Students are instructed how to access the pen tool and are guided through underlining nouns, verbs, subjects, and predicates in turn through multiple example sentences.

It also profiles Tony who was most proud of living to 84 and joining the airforce, and Milgros from Puerto Rico who advised students to get an education. The students found the seniors welcoming and learned the importance of education from their stories and advice.
This document profiles 14 children from around the world along with their favorite toys. It describes each child's name, age, location, family situation, and the toys they treasure most. The toys range from sunglasses and dinosaurs to toy cars and school supplies. The portraits offer a glimpse into the lives of kids from Zambia, Mexico, China, Kenya, Haiti, Malawi, Georgia, Morocco, India and other places.
The ESL students created PowerPoint presentations about children from around the world using information from the book "Children Just Like Me" published by UNICEF. They learned that not all children have the same rights and living conditions, as some children live in very similar worlds while others live in very different worlds. The students enjoyed sharing their presentations.
