Like you, my husband is currently providing aid, as well, and tells me of the devastating horrors he has been forced to see. I, like many others who participate in this listserv, however, am not able participate in the efforts personally, and, instead, have to continue working and going to school. Please do not be insulted by messages that seem to neglect this horrible tragedy; those of us who have seen the news are deeply concerned and affected by the images we see. I am interested in your opinions on which aspect(s) of this tragedy you believe to be the most relevant in teaching our ESL students, as well as how you would go about using this episode in your class. And, please, let us know what we can do to help the efforts there. I wonder, too, how you are able to connect to the net since many do not have phones or electricity? Please take care and let us know your thoughts on how we can incorporate elements of this tragedy in our ESL classes.
