Useful sites for pupils who are writing projects in English
|
Hi again,
I have pupils in the twelfth grade that have to write a project in English. They have to collect materials and then summarize them. Their materials can be based on articles they have found on the web. The problem is that they need the English to be easy otherwise they won �t be able to deal with the material. I recommended "ask Jeeves" but that isn �t enough. Do you know of any sites that can be helpful. They know how to google but I am asking of specific sites that use easy English.
Here are some of the interesting topics that have been chosen:
Helen Keller
Horse Therapy
William Smith
Smoking
Tattoos
Oscar Pistorius
Lance Armstrong
Thanks,
Debbie |

Hi Debbie, Nice to meet you. I often have my kids do projects too and I know your problem - the sites are often too advanced for their English skills and that �s frustrating. Sometimes they look up their topics on Wilkepedia in Hebrew and translate. Another option is to have them google a site �for kids � (there the language is usually easier. Here are a few sites for biographies: http://gardenofpraise.com/leaders.htm
Hope that helps...... |
