X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Status: RO Content-Length: 697 Lines: 23 Anna, Another source I've found helpful (and cheap) are the pamphlets available from Doctor's offices, clinics, or hospitals. These are short and usually easy enough (with some vocabulary teaching) even for beginning students--as long as they contain pictures of food groups or the pyramid. I get mine from a local wellness clinic or the hospital's educational outreach person. These people are good resources for information and materials on all kinds of health issues, and are also willing to come and speak to a class. Food labels are also useful, both for skill teaching and to discuss nutritional values. Good luck! Lilias Green legreen@vcnet.com (Oxnard UHSD Adult Ed ESL teacher)
