Hello November!

 

We are in the throes of November, and it seems like time is flying by! Thank you to all our instructors who continue to share great resources and links. Last month, we had some great links and resources shared by Tracy: Canadian Culture - Fall holidays part 2.pptx (sharepoint.com) We had the Halton Library Presentations, and Joy shared a great video from Bob the Canadian teaching English at the Library for our learners: https://youtu.be/R7-hD4EW4Tw

And, if you are looking for some great lessons aligned with PBLA, Marina found a great resource for multi-level modules: Multilevel Modules – PBLA Practice Guidelines (language.ca)

In November, we have our winter driving presentations for the classes. Valerie shared a page that she assigned her students from liveworksheets.com See it here: Being ready for a winter drive worksheet (liveworksheets.com) Kate shared a video for lower levels on winter driving, see it here: https://www.cbc.ca/learning-english/winter-driving-level-1-1.4514903

Also, please find Kate’s lesson plans for November here:

As usual, thank you to our AWESOME team of instructors for sharing!
