Russian Saints and Seeing-Eye
Sheep
|
There are no common links between our
 selection of new resources this
month - apart from the fact that they are all interesting,
thought provoking and crafted to help your students want to do
them! Students learning another language will be
particularly interested in our new Upper Intermediate Instant
Lesson "Adding Chinese to
ABCs" which looks at Mandarin immersion classes in
American elementary schools and at language learning itself.
Our newest resource on natural disasters is the
warmer, "Natural Disasters:
Tornadoes / Twisters" which gives students the dos and
don'ts of behavior during a twister.
A new report on computer addiction among teenagers is the
topic of our Intermediate Instant Lesson "Computers Can Harm Kids" and
students can extend their vocabulary knowledge with our latest
vocabulary worksheet on prefixes.
How many world
leaders are karate experts or do dare-devil stunts? Our
Advanced Instant Lesson "Russia's Saint and Savior?"
looks at what Russians think of their current
leaders. Is being a bare-chested macho man good for a
leader's public image?
 And for a
different kind of leading, our Pre-Intermediate Instant Lesson
"Seeing-Eye Sheep and Goats"
has the heart-warming story of Sissy the blind horse,
who is guided everywhere at her new home on a ranch, by a team
of sheep and goats.
Very different resources, very
different topics but they will all help motivate your students
with their learning.
Have a good month.

This month's Teaching
Point comes from the Weekly Warmer , Natural Disasters: Tornadoes /
Twisters :
Dodging the "death tube" - tornado
survival tips
Here are some safety
tips from experts on what to do if a violent twister,
dubbed "death tubes" by some, heads your way:
* If you are at home, find a reinforced, windowless area
like an interior bathroom, closet, crawl space or hallway.
Basements also provide good refuge, but stay away from
outside walls. Try to crouch under the stairs or a heavy
duty table to avoid falling debris.
* Be sure to protect your head and neck. "Put on a bicycle
helmet or a football helmet," said Harold Brooks, a research
meteorologist at the Storm Prediction Center of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. If you're in a
bathtub, another option is to cover up with pillows, sofa
cushions or a mattress.
* Do not open
your windows, and stay away from them.
* If you are
in a car in an urban area, don't try to outrun a
tornado, the Federal Emergency Management Agency
advises. If possible, seek shelter in a building. If
you're outdoors with no nearby shelter, lie flat in a
ditch or a depression. Cover your head with your hands.
"Don't stay in your car and don't park it under an
overpass," said Brooks.
* Stay away from trees and
cars if you are outside.
* Avoid shopping malls,
theaters and gymnasiums where the roof might only be
supported by walls, the Harvard Medical School warns.
"If there is no time to leave, get under a door frame or
something ."
