One method I've used is to use different versions of the same story to show
these ideas. Take out all the adjectives, change the sequence, remove the
puntuation, etc. There are many lessons to be had from one writing. But,
try to keep the focus limited to one 'mini'lesson at a time or they will
become confusing.

I want to thank Betsy Kubot for the link to the Q&A article
from<br>NCLE"Beginning to Work with Adult Language Learners: Some
Considerations."<br>I read the Q&A attachment with interest as I have
recently starting<br>teaching ABE classes at a community college.  In my
class, there are a<br>number of ESL students who are now preparing to take
the GED.   With<br>limited experience in working with ESL students, I
sometimes find it<br>difficult when asked to explain a concept/idea such as
“voice� and “tone�<br>in essay writing.  Can anyone offer some tips
on this or refer a resource<br>that might help?  Thank
you.<br><br><br><br><br>Kindest regards,<br><br>Gloria Bergman<br>email:
