Mini Update: ESL Websites

Well, today's plan is to talk about the word like. We can talk about all the different things we like, and what everyone else likes. This way once I get more students (or if I have the same large amount I had the other day!) we can play the name game where each student says something like "My name is Jeannie and I like cats. This is Julia and she likes dogs." The game grows to add more people, which makes repetition of the I like phrase, the he/she likes phrase, and best of all, helps me learn their names!!!! :)

I have class in just a few minutes (it's 20 minutes to 9 here), so this will update be fairly short.

Patty sent me a good website from about.com about ESL, and I'll giving the older students quizzes from it. Thank you! Darwin said he took the one I gave him yesterday about prepositions (on, at, in, etc) and only got one wrong, so that's good.
