Gift of the Magi - adapted for ESL students
I�ve adapted this version for my Int/Upper-Int class. Teachers give the students the first few pages of the story (with comprehension questions) and then ask the students to make up and present and ending to the story. Then the teacher gives the students the last part of the story. Please let me know if you have any suggestions (after using it)....
