Esl Art Lesson Plans
Where can I find a good writing lesson plan idea for an ESL or English class?
In my Language Arts for teachers class (university level) I have to do a lesson in front of the class, as though I was the teacher and my classmates were the class.
It has to be about writing, and because I want to be an ESL teacher, I’d like to find something that would be useful in an ESL setting. A regular English-class-type lesson is fine too, though. As long as it’s high school or college level.
What are some good websites, please don’t just send me a list that you googled. I want some solid information from actual teachers, please! ^^
Thank you!
I believe I had the same type of class while I was in college. Here is what I did. I took a reading from an ESL class which compared two different sets of young people. The Israelies living on a Kibutz, and the Amish (during their time away from the group — I can’t remember the name), you know that time when they leave to see the outside world, and decide whether or not they want to remain Amish.
Anyway, then using a Venn Diagram, I had the students compare and contrast the two cultures. Using the Venn then were to then write a short essay with the findings. I realize that it made the assignments absolutely simple, but before I began, I gave them a sheet with the objectives required for the essay. I am sure it would have generated some really great essays, but of course, it was just a class assignment.
Good luck with this.
As an ESL teacher at the jr college level, I have used this technique, and it is very successful.
