This activity eBook will help develop new perspectives about America�s cultural diversity and build the self esteem of culturally diverse students. To this end, teachers should recommend students using a dictionary and or some type of reference guide with this book. Please note most answers are in the book. However, dictionaries can expedite the second language learning process immensely.
The directions to the students are simple. However, teachers should go over the directions with the students to make sure students understand the task at hand. In fact, despite there being a full answer key for teachers, it is recommended that teachers complete the packet without the answer key, to have a sincere sense of the information disseminated and skills targeted.
Since comprehension of directions is critical to second language learning, the directions are repeated and designed to familiarize students with directional terms used in many content area classes and tests. The directional terms used include:
Fill in
Circle
List
Unscramble
Match
Rewrite
Note underlined words
