Hey Ann, I don't know if this interests you at all but just in case...
Also, do check out the www.NIFL.gov website.

I haven't see the Hours yet but just reread mrs dalloway in prep, can't find
my copy of cunningham's book. We did see Adaptation and Chicago though--each
really really good in its own way.  We saw Chicago on stage in NY, with Bebe
Newirth (sp) as Velma. I didn't really like it much but i loved the movie.

I got my application for Campbell. now i'm processing the best timing and
wondering if they want over-50's. the text seemed to be aimed at young folk.
Please give Claire our best and please ask her to give Bill our best best
wishes as well. I hope he is not in too much pain.

I'll check back when I know some more on Campbell.  Is Dusty in a serious
funk right now or just feeling lethargic?  She's a worse correspondent than
I am!

Love,
Linda

LINCS Health & Literacy Mini-Grants

learning activities using the Health & Literacy Special Collection
Website at: www.worlded.org/us/health/lincs. ABE and ESOL teachers and
students are encouraged to participate.

Purpose:

In a recent user evaluation of the Health & Literacy Special
Collection, teachers said it would be helpful to see how other teachers
have used the Website with their students.  World Education, with

teams to develop lesson plans or learning activities based on their

other teachers to access.

Responsibilities:

Establish your student/teacher team.  Teams that include one teacher
and more than one student are encouraged.
Develop a health and literacy lesson plan or learning activity that
uses the Health & Literacy Special Collection.  Teams in which the
teacher and student(s) develop activities together are encouraged.
Document your reactions and your students' reactions to the site and to
the activities you tried.
Revise your lesson plan or learning activity, if necessary, and submit
a final product.
