It will be starting immediately, so yes any suggestions will be welcome. My plan is to focus on US cultural topics and teach pronunciation while I'm doing it. Each week we'll be learning a new patriotic song. The first week we'll be looking at US citizenship and what it takes to become a citizen introduced by Woody Guthrie's "This land is your land." I remember some time ago someone passed a website that was useful in teaching literacy as well as citizenship preparation. Does anyone still have it? The 2nd week I thought we'd look at the American Revolution, Declaration of Independence and sing "Yankee Doodle Dandy". The 3rd and 4th week are still unplanned, but I thought I'd finish up with some discussion of immigration and Ellis Island. There are 14 students in the class, 4 basic and 10 intermediate> All suggestions are welcome. Thank you Esther Perez-Apple
