The Life Skills Literacy series is just what you need to help your students move from the classroom to the community. Designed especially for literacy students, intermediate level ESL learners, and students with special needs, this set of reproducible books helps students build vocabulary, expand culturally-based knowledge, and develop survival skills. Things to Know About Medicine and Health helps students learn about nutrition, conventional and alternative approaches to medicine, preventive health care, choosing a doctor, medical insurance, and more. Each reproducible activity uses a short story or dilemma to introduce the topic; related activities review vocabulary and check comprehension. Discussion questions and writing suggestions help students apply what they've learned to everyday situations. Teacher notes with background information, discussion questions, extension activities, and technology resources accompany each lesson. You also get notes on teaching the material to ESL learners and a list of idiom or slang terms related to the topic. Grades 9 and up. 74 pages. |
