Teaching Ideas: |
DR-TA or DL-TA would work well with this book. Teachers will want to encourage students to look carefully at the beautiful and detailed illustrations. Issues related to adapting to different cultures and learning new languages will provide much for discussion or writing. From one life to another is an interesting WWW site about immigration; it can be accessed via Yahooligans.com and then searching on immigration. |
