From: NIFL - ESL listserve Greetings-- Today I posted a reading and discussion activity on the Hands-on English website about the space shuttle disaster. This was sent to us by Jill Kramer, an ESL teacher in Columbus, Ohio. It's an intermediate level activity is called "The Columbia Tragedy". You can see this at: http://www.handsonenglish.com/currentevents.html Please feel free to copy this, if you want to, and use it with your students.
