Thank you so much for your positive feedback! I am your newest follower. So happy to hear your students will be learning about Montreal; I lived in Quebec for 30 years and visited Vermont dozens of times - love it! Even did a school observation there when I was a student teacher. I am hoping to make more Canadian resources aimed at U.S. students by the time school rolls around again in August.

Ellen Weber (TpT Seller)
Wonderful look at the bright and delightful parts of Canada. I gave your piece a solid 4 - but would like to suggest another small piece to hook student and show why these cool facts are vital. I'd add a wee, "Why should we care...? part" so that students see the links between why they want to learn the facts. Great to meet a fellow Canadian. Best!
November 24, 2012
Diana Bailey (TpT Seller)
Thanks Ellen! Some good points. I hope to design one on Canadian cities (rather than separately) for a slightly higher level - this would be good to keep in mind.

How different is the Ottawa portion of this bundle and the individual package?
January 24, 2013
Diana Bailey (TpT Seller)
The lesson plans in the sets are the individual ones bundled, there is no difference. There is a difference in reading levels between levels 1 and 2 (and in the bundled Sets 1 and 2) and some slight differences in the activities.
So the Ottawa one in the set is the same as the individual Ottawa lesson plan listed in my store.
Hope this helps!
Diana.

No problem at all. What I will do is revamp the lowest level I have done, send you a sample and see if you think the reading level is right. When the final product is done, I will list it on TPT and send you a heads up. Having your email might make it easier, if you are okay with that. Also, are you in Canada and is this for a regular classroom (in other words, not for ESL)? Diana.

Hello, I had a question. I just bought your 'Guided Reading and Activities - Soccer's World Championship (ESL 1) (http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Guided-Reading-and-Activities-Soccers-World-Championship-ESL-1) and every time I click on it to download it says, "page does not exist". I bought it two days ago and thought maybe there was just a glitch or something but when I tried yesterday and today, it gave me the same result.
September 24, 2012
Diana Bailey (TpT Seller)
Hi Chavez728, am sorry this has happened - I actually updated the lesson plan and reposted it a week or so ago. Let me have a look and see what is going on and if I can't get it straightened out I will ask TPT if I can send it to you privately (will need your email in that case).
Diana.
I purchased the lesson plan myself and everything thing seems to be okay. I think it might be better if you contact TPT and tell them the problem and they will probably send the download again.

If you are interested in a paid writing assignment, please email me at jack@funnelbrain.com, and I will respond with details on the available assignments. In the meantime, please feel free to browse FunnelBrain.com.

MY TEACHING STYLE
I am a communicative teacher, putting high emphasis on students achieving solid communication and analytical skills. My experience teaching ESL has opened me up to many new methods of teaching. I have taught classroom ESL as well as ELD and have also taught History in sheltered ESL classes. I also have experience teaching ESL at an adult level.
