Sofia Champion
/ December 24, 2020Wonderful site. Covid lockdown of everything has resulted in my searching for materials. I am delighted. I teach beginning with a writing genre. Then, I select the grammar and mechanics that lend themselves to each genre. That sets my unit plan. This way students learn English and apply it into their own writing. It helps them remember grammar and mechanics because they call up their writing and all the background comes with it. I blend in reading examples. I appreciate your site because it has so much to offer in practice. The amount of practice is great for ESL.
