Hello November 2024

 Hello November!  Hand drawn hello november background for autumn celebration

Only two months left in 2024, can you believe it? With the warmer weather (almost) behind us and fluctuating temps upon us, so is cold and flu season! There’s so much to teach around the topic of health and wellness. For those of us who attended Danielle’s session last Friday, you will know how to check out the course builder on Avenue to access e-units and find the topic of health. For lower intermediate classes the unit CLB 3 Being Sick is very useful.

On Tutela, check out the collections or resources tab to find a wealth of resources on the topic of health. See if you can find the module for CLB 4 preparing to take prescription medicine:  Tutela.ca | Resource

If you have ever discussed healthy sleeping habits with your class, you could show them this infographic and create a reading skill using activity: 64-03-18-2136-Sleep-Adults-Infographic-EN-Final-03.05.2019 Healthy eating is also a topic of interest for all levels. Check out a lesson from Linguahouse on this topic for upper intermediate level students: A healthy diet: ESL/EFL Lesson Plan and Worksheet

Of course, Remembrance Day is another topic to talk about with your students. Here are a couple of links to more resources for lower levels: https://listn.tutela.ca/wp-content/uploads/Resources-for-Lower-Levels-Remembrance-Day.pdf For the higher levels: https://listn.tutela.ca/wp-content/uploads/Resources-for-Higer-Levels_Remembrance-Day3.pdf

Please check out Danielle’s updates on all things Avenue, and feel free to reach out to Marina or myself for any PBLA related questions. We hope you will have a great experience at this year’s virtual TESL Conference. Please remember to share any good information/resources that you learned about with our team. 

Have a wonderful month,

Haleema & Marina ☺
