Regarding removal of reading about other holidays in December.
|
|
Hi, I had a two-page worksheet about the December holidays. I wrote that it was important that students who do not celebrate Christmas have their holidays recognized. In my home, we celebrate both Christmas and Chanukah. I teach adult ESL. I bring in Christmas activities, word searches, crosswords, etc. every night in December. As I looked at my class, many of them having just arrived in the United States, I felt it was important that their holidays not be forgotten. I do not understand why my sheets were removed. Marla |

Not ESL related?
No tasks added?
Copy & paste?
No original member �s work added?
Difficult to state, but maybe you can help.
Which from the above mentioned does your ws fit?

Dear Marla,
I remember your ws. It was reported as non ESL resource. There weren �t any tasks added, that �s why it was removed.
I would advise you to make some simple comprehension question and upload it again.
Regards, Michaela

Maria, you may want to promote Xmas among your students as a secondary goal. The ws primary objective must be the English learning or practice, with tasks to promote it.

Thanks for your responses. It was a reading that I had my students do aloud. Then we discussed the various holidays. I appreciate your input. I thought perhaps that someone thought I was attacking Christmas. I have had other readings on before that were received well, and there was no follow-up exercise other than discussion.Thanks for your feedback. Zalida, you misunderstood. I do not promote Christmas. I bring in short seasonal materials each month for a quick start while all the students file into the room.It was my concern that the students not see it as Christmas being promoted. That is why I made the reading. : ) Marla |

Well, I didn �t see your reading so I have no clear idea on what it is about. If you want to upload it again, just add some tasks and it �ll be OK.
No matter you want either to promote or to attack Xmas, my point is: the first objective of the ws here is to promote English learning or practice.
Have a nice day.
