http://www.eslpod.com/website/show_podcast.php?issue_id=445#
Script:
Daniella: Could you tell where I can find a drugstore?
Hotel clerk: Sure. Theres one up the street near the corner of Selma and Main. If you get to
Abreu Avenue, youve gone too far. Its set back from the street so its a little hard to find.
Daniella: Oh, thats okay. Ill keep an eye out for it.
Hotel clerk: You know, I just remembered that theres a bigger and better drugstore around the
block. Its no more than a three-minute walk. Go out the main doors of the hotel, hang a left, go
straight for about a quarter of a mile, and then make another left at the first street.
Daniella: Okay. I think Ive got that. Thanks.

Hotel clerk: Now, if you want a drugstore with a pharmacy, youll need to walk a little farther.
Go out these doors, walk roughly three blocks until you get to a dead end, turn right, cross the
street, and youll see a bank. Its kitty-corner from the bank. You should be able to walk there
in five minutes, give or take.
Daniella: Thanks. Thanks a lot. I think Im all set. See you later.
Hotel clerk: You know, I just remembered that theres another drugstore...
Daniella: Thanks, but Ive really got to get going. Bye.
Hotel clerk: Well, some people just dont appreciate other peoples help!
Activity (Google Maps): This activity is designed in order for students to practice reading maps
and understanding directions. Students will learn how to locate Google Maps online and then

Activity (General Driving Instruction/ Reading Maps): The objective of this activity is to
allow students to practice reading maps and listening/ giving general driving instructions. You
will need to print off a large map of your city from search engines like Yahoo or Google or get
one from your local Chamber of Commerce. It would be best if you could project the image on a
screen. Then you will need to prepare a set of questions such as:
I am located at the bank on Elm Street, how do I get to the library on Main Street?
If I am at Maple Park, how do I get to the fire station on Smith Street?
Have one students go up to the map and act like they are blindly following driving instructions
(give them a little Hot Wheels car to drive around the map). Have another student give them
the directions from their starting point to their desired destination.
Activity (Online Directions and Travel Quiz): Students may go directly to this website in
order to practice their vocabulary related to directions and travel:
http://iteslj.org/v/s/ac-directions.html
The instructor should discuss proper exercise and diet with the students while
incorporating the previous parts of the lesson; prepositions and giving/ following
instructions.
Activity (Match up the Body Parts): Provide students with the Exercise and the Human
Body worksheet and ask them to match up the English body part with the arrows. Go over
body parts by pointing to one and asking the students, what is this? Then ask students what type
of exercise can benefit each part of their body. Some examples follow:
o strength training for arms and legs
o cardio workouts for the heart
o yoga for calming stress and headaches and for flexibility of knees, elbows, joints, etc.
o dancing or hiking for feet, knees, and legs

Shoulder
stomach
Foot
knee

Activity (Health and Exercise Interview): This activity is designed to give students a way to
analyze their peers exercise plans and in turn their own. Provide each student with an interview
sheet and ask them to interview two other people, answer the questions, and then report their
findings orally to the class. Discuss with the student the variety of ways to maintain a healthy
diet and exercise plan.
Name:
Do you exercise? If yes how
often?
Do you walk every day? If yes,
how long?
Do you like to play sports? If
yes, which sports?
What other activities do you do

to be active?
What other activities could you

do to be more active?
Do you maintain a healthy diet?

If yes, how?
Name:
Activity (BMI Information): It is important that the students realize what Body Mass Index is
and what their BMI can mean to their total health. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number
calculated from weight and height. BMI is a reliable indicator of body fatness. BMI is an
inexpensive and easy-to-perform method of screening for weight categories that may lead to
health problems.
1. Exercise. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscle both of which
help you look and feel good and keep weight off. Walking the family dog, cycling to
school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all make a
difference. If you want to burn more calories, increase the intensity of your workout and
add some strength exercises to build muscle. The more muscle you have, the more
calories you burn, even when you aren't exercising.
2. Reduce screen time. One reason people get less exercise these days is because of an
increase in "screen time" the amount of time spent watching TV, looking at the
computer, or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per
day.
3. Watch out for portion distortion. Serving sizes have increased over the past 10 years,
and these extra calories contribute to obesity. Another key factor in weight gain is that
more people drink sugary beverages, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks. So
choose smaller portions (or share restaurant portions) and go for water or low-fat milk
instead of soda.
4. Eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies a day. Fruits and veggies are about more than just
vitamins and minerals. They're also packed with fiber, which means they fill you up. And
when you fill up on fruits and veggies, you're less likely to overeat when it comes to
high-calorie foods like chips or cookies.
5. Don't skip breakfast. Breakfast kick-starts your metabolism, burning calories from the
get-go and giving you energy to do more during the day. People who skip breakfast often
feel so hungry that they eat more later on. So they get more calories than they would have
if they ate breakfast. In fact, people who skip breakfast tend to have higher BMIs than
people who eat breakfast.
Activity (Create an Exercise List): After you have finished some of the previous activities,
discuss with the students why they now think it is important to exercise and make sure their
children are exercising. Ask them what fun exercises they could do with their children and write
a list on the board (dance, hike, bicycle, go skating, etc.)
The instructor should review road signs. Print off large images of road signs like the ones
shown below by going to http://www.manythings.org/signs/driving.htm.
State Information
Activity (Online Name That State): Have students follow the link below to play a fun trivia
game:
http://www.primarygames.com/states/question_2.htm
Activity (State Trivia): Instructor should review the students on states in America by hosting a
game show. Divide the class into two teams and provide a United States map to each team
(included in Student Worksheets Packet). Then ask a series of questions and the team with the
highest score wins. Have students take notes of capital cities, nicknames, etc. on the map. Some
sample questions follow:
Which state is home to the Golden Gate Bridge? California
In which state is our current President from? -Which state is nicknamed The Sunshine State? Florida
What states capital is Atlanta? Georgia
What state is nicknamed the Lonestar State? Texas
What states capital is Baton Rouge? Louisiana
What is the capital of the United States of America? Washington D.C.
In what state is Chicago located? Illinois
What states capital is Santa Fe? New Mexico
What state are the New England Patriots from? Massachusets
What states capital is Honolulu? Hawaii
Actvity (Tennessees Border States): Tennessee is bordered by eights states; Kentucky,
Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri. Split the
students into eight groups and have each group research information about their state on the
internet, or bring some books from the library. You can have the groups create short
presentations about their states and how they relate to Tennessee. Students can prepare their
presentations on Microsoft Word as a page printout, or with poster board, magazines, and
markers. Let them be creative!
Activity (Tennessee State Quiz): Have the students complete the worksheet in groups, pairs, or
individually. Make it a race and the first to complete the page wins!

Health Interview
Directions: Interview 2 people and fill in the chart below with their answers.
Name:
Do you exercise? If yes how
often?
Do you walk every day? If yes,

how long?
Do you like to play sports? If
yes, which sports?
What other activities do you do

to be active?
What other activities could you

do to be more active?
Do you maintain a healthy diet?

If yes, how?
Name:
Tips for Maintaining a Health BMI

1. Exercise. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscle both of which
help you look and feel good and keep weight off. Walking the family dog, cycling to
school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all make a
difference. If you want to burn more calories, increase the intensity of your workout and
add some strength exercises to build muscle. The more muscle you have, the more
calories you burn, even when you aren't exercising.
2. Reduce screen time. One reason people get less exercise these days is because of an
increase in "screen time" the amount of time spent watching TV, looking at the
computer, or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per
day. If you're with friends at the mall, you're getting more exercise than if you're IMing
them from your room.
3. Watch out for portion distortion. Serving sizes have increased over the past 10 years,
and these extra calories contribute to obesity. Another key factor in weight gain is that
more people drink sugary beverages, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks. So
choose smaller portions (or share restaurant portions) and go for water or low-fat milk
instead of soda.
4. Eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies a day. Fruits and veggies are about more than just
vitamins and minerals. They're also packed with fiber, which means they fill you up. And
when you fill up on fruits and veggies, you're less likely to overeat when it comes to
high-calorie foods like chips or cookies.
5. Don't skip breakfast. Breakfast kick-starts your metabolism, burning calories from the
get-go and giving you energy to do more during the day. People who skip breakfast often
feel so hungry that they eat more later on. So they get more calories than they would have
if they ate breakfast. In fact, people who skip breakfast tend to have higher BMIs than
people who eat breakfast.

Officer: Did you know that you were speeding? You were going 70 in a 55 mile an hour zone.
Ray: I was? No, I didnt know.
Officer: You also ran a red light and your brake light is out. I see that your tags have also
expired. Im going to have to cite you for all of that.
Ray: Im sure I didnt run a red light, and I didnt know my brake light wasnt working. I just
renewed my registration and Im still waiting for my new tags to arrive in the mail. Is there any
way I can get away with just a warning?

No. Las escuelas no pueden dar ninguna informacin del archivo del estudiante que
muestre que el nio no est documentado, a menos que los padres den su permiso.
Esto incluye a funcionarios de inmigracin en United States Citizenship e
Immigration Services (USCIS, fue anteriormente INS). Trabajadores de las escuelas,
como personal docente y directores, no tienen la obligacin de reportar a los nios
indocumentados ni a sus padres al USCIS.

4. Qu documentos necesitan los estudiantes para matricularse en la escuela?
Las escuelas de Carolina del sur pedirn:
Un formulario de inmunizacin (vacunas)
la partida de nacimiento o documentos que prueben la edad del nio.
Algunas escuelas tambin piden prueba de que el nio vive en Carolina del sur.
Usted puede probar esto al:
mostrar recibos de que ha pagado alquiler en Carolina del Sur
mostrar recibos de que ha pagado facturas de servicios pblicos; o
si no paga donde vive, una declaracin de las personas con quien vive.
5. Qu pasa si un nio no entiende o no habla bien ingls?
Los estudiantes que no hablan, leen, escriben o entienden bien ingls son llamados
Limited English Proficient (LEP por sus siglas en ingls). Cuando un nio viene a la
escuela, la escuela le preguntar si habla otro idioma en casa. Si habla otro idioma en
casa, tomarn una prueba para ver su nivel de ingls. Despus, los estudiantes LEP
deben ser colocados en un programa que corresponde a sus habilidades. Al principio,
dichos estudiantes deben ser colocados en una clase con nios de su misma edad.
6. Ha qu tipo de programa acadmico entrarn los nios LEP?
No hay un programa fijo para los nios LEP. Las escuelas no tienen que ensear a
los nios en el idioma que ellos mejor hablan. No obstante, las escuelas tienen que
tener un programa que funcione para ensear a los nios LEP. Las escuelas tambin
deben asegurarse que los maestros estn bien calificados y que los libros estn al
nivel del nio LEP.

desayunos y almuerzo s en la escuela. Los padres deben llenar un formulario especial.
El formulario solicitar un nmero de seguro social. Si los padres no tienen un
nmero de seguro social, pueden decir que no lo tienen. La escuela no los denunciar
al USCIS.
9. Que pasa si los padres son LEP?
Las escuelas deben de enviar a los padres LEP cartas y toda la informacin de la
escuela en un idioma que los padres entiendan. Por ejemplo, si los padres solamente

11. Pueden los estudiantes indocumentados recibir financiamiento para ir a la
universidad o un descuento para ir a la universidad por ser residentes del
estado?
No. Actualmente, estudiantes indocumentados no pueden recibir financiamiento para
ir a la universidad o un descuento para ir a la universidad por ser residentes del
estado. Hay un proyecto de ley llamado DREAM Act que puede cambiar esto en el
futuro. DREAM Act es el Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act.
Si es adoptado por el gobierno, permitira a las universidades de los estados dar un
descuento a los estudiantes indocumentados por ser residentes del estado. Los
estudiantes indocumentados tambin tendran la oportunidad de quedarse en los
Estados Unidos legalmente.

Activity (Before You Buy a Car): For the section called, Before You Buy a Car, Check Out
These Things, take the students outside, go over the list and show them what to check for on the
teachers car. Possibly the students would let the other students look at their cars as well. If it
was a used car lot, what car would the students want to drive home, after looking all the cars
over? Why?
Before You Buy a Car Check Out These Things:

A clean interior and exterior does not necessarily mean a great car.
Never get pressured into buying until you feel comfortable.
Make your test drive involve hard turns, different road surfaces, and lots of braking.
You should also:

Ask to see the vehicle on as level a surface as possible. This is important, because you
can spot a problem with suspension that may leave one or more quarters of the vehicle
riding lower to the road than others. You can also sometimes spot frame damage to
indicate the vehicle has been in at least one serious collision.
Inspect the vehicle for signs of rust or damage.
Look underneath the vehicle as well as at the obvious body.
Pay close attention when you start the vehicle; look for dashboard warning lights that
remain on and ask about them.
Check the exhaust as you start the car
Take a test drive that involves turning, shifting gears, braking multiple times, a steep
ascent to see how well the car handles, and a dirt road or other challenging road surface
Listen for brake noise, engine knocking, pinging, or anything else that seems not quite
right.
Try all the lights to be sure they work.
Have the engine running at least once when you check beneath the hood
Under the hood, look at the overall condition of the engine (a clean engine is more than
just pleasing to the eye; it may also indicate good vehicle care) as well as for loose or
broken hoses, belts, and fixtures.
Look under the hood and on the bottom side of the hood. If there appears to be a moisture
pattern then there is leakage some place. It would be good to check this again after taking it for a
drive.
When the car is cool, check the tail piped to see if it has carbon (black powder) or oily
powder inside of it. If there is a little bit then not bad. If around the inside or outside of
the tail pipe or on the paint it is burning oil.
Check all the fluids. If the oil is gray, than it is leaking water into the oil. That is bad.
If the fluids are low, then there may be a problem with leakage and a need to look under
the car for drips.
Check the transmission fluid after the test drive has been made. It gives a true reading
when it is hot. If the transmission fluid smells burnt, then dont buy the car. The burnt
smell indicates that the transmission is burning up.
When the hood is up and the engine is running, listen to the motor.
Are there any knocks, clicks, odd noises and smells. If so, the car has problems.
Don't forget to:
Look beneath cushions and mats to be sure they aren't positioned to hide something.
Check operation of windows, doors, and other devices
Ask about operating costs, including average mileage and oil consumption
Also, never feel pushed to make a deal. If someone is really trying to force you to agree to buy
immediately, before you can get the car professionally inspected or give it a thorough inspection
yourself, there may be a reason.
Before you even get into the vehicle, do a little preliminary check:
Are the tires in safe conditionno cracks, splits or excessive wear? Are they worn
unevenly? Weird wear patterns means it could be out of alignment, bad bearings, bad
ball joints or bad shocks. It can be an indication of a number of possible problems.
As you slide into the driver's seat, there are a number of things to consider even before
you turn on the ignition:
Is the car in overall good condition?
Are the seats, carpets, switches, mirrors and
headliners all in acceptable shape? Look at the
drivers seat and see if it is really worn out. It
may have more miles on it then the speedometer
shows
Is the seat comfortable, evenly padded, in good
repair, and adjustable?
Does the car provide the primary driver with an
unobstructed 360degree view?
Do the safety features workhorn, headlights,
emergency brake, seatbelts and windshield
wipers?
Once you have settled in, adjusted the seat and mirrors, and fastened your seatbelt, you can begin
your actual road test:
Is the car easy to start?

Does it turn over on the first try?
Are the gears (manual transmission) easy to shift?
Is the clutch easy to engage with no abnormal sounds or hesitation?
In an automatic transmission, does the car move smoothly from gear to gear?
Is there any unusual noise or hesitation while changing gears?
Are the brakes strong? Put your foot on the brake and see how low the pedal goes down.
If too close to the floor board, then there is brake problems.
Is there a pull to either side as you step on the brakes?
On the freeway, does the car have good acceleration?
Can it easily reach speeds in order to merge with the flow of traffic?
Do the turn signals work?

Is the car easy to maneuver during lane changes?
Are their any blind spots?
Does the cruise control work?
Around town, does the car handle well and idle steadily during stops?
Is the acceleration strong starting off on a green light?
Is the car easy to park in a number of types of parking spots?
Do the air conditioning and heating systems function properly
Does the windshield wipers, windshield wiper spray and lights work?
During a quiet moment, listen for any strange sounds:
Does the wind whistle through windows that can't quite close all the way?
If there is a sunroof, is air coming through even when closed?
Check the sound system, if that is an important feature to you:
Is the radio reception unclear?

Is the CD or DVD player working? (You may want to bring a CD or DVD along just for
a test.)
Back at the dealer lot or the seller's home, you should take a few minutes to walk around, crawl
under, and pop the hood of the car. Check to see if there is any dripping fluid, smoke billowing
from the exhaust system, or any build up of dirt and grime on and around the engine.
Activity (Role play): Act out skits with the students using the questions and answers in this
lesson.

Five Advanced Questions to Ask
When dealing with a person selling one car at their home, you will want to make sure the vehicle
is worth your time before you make the drive. Call first and talk to the owner/driverother
people in the house may not be able to answer your questions.
1. Why are you selling the vehicle? You may not be interested, but a person selling the vehicle
because of mechanical problems, will often stumble on this question, alerting you to look at the
vehicle very carefully.
2. How many miles are on the odometer? Generally speaking, multiply the year age of the
vehicle by 15,000. If the vehicle has more miles on it than this; the vehicle is usually considered
to have high mileage.
3. What condition is the vehicle in? Actually, this should be a series of questions like "how's the
body and paint?", "how's the interior?", etc. You'll find the seller's opinion will often differ
greatly from yours once you see the vehicle, but you can often discover problems like accident
damage. This may save you a trip if you're looking for a vehicle that has not been in an accident.
4. What work has been done on the vehicle recently? Sellers often prepare a vehicle for sale by
performing work they've been meaning to do for a while. This is usually an innocent attempt to
make the vehicle look more appealing, but be wary if major work has just been completed. For
example, if the engine has just been overhauled, make sure the engine is checked out thoroughly.
It's rare, but owners occasionally try to get rid of a vehicle that's showing signs of poor
workmanship on a major repair.
5. What options does it have? This will actually be a series of questions pertaining to your needs
(it's a good idea to make a list before you start making calls). For example, if you need an
automatic transmission or air conditioning, make sure you ask whether the vehicle has these
items in it.. Ask which engine the vehicle has. A friend may have told you of the great fuel
economy of his car, but the same model with a different engine may not do as well. Always be
sure you're making an equal comparison (Haynes).
Activity (Getting a Car Serviced Podcast): Go directly to this website to listen to a short
podcast about getting your car repaired. You can start the podcast at 55 seconds and end it at 2
min 55 seconds. Ask the students to write down words they do not recognize as they listen.
Afterward, review the words in bold and other words that the students are not familiar with and
go over the plot of the story.
Script:
Sophia: Is my car ready?
Mechanic: Im finished with your oil change and I replaced the oil filter. Ive also replaced the
wiper blades in your windshield wipers. But Ive had a good look under your hood, and your
car needs a lot of work.
Sophia: Really?
Mechanic: Yes, you have some serious problems. I bet your engine is running really rough. Your
transmission is leaking, your shocks need to be replaced, and you need new brake pads. Your
battery is very low and it should replaced, too.
Sophia: I cant believe it.
Mechanic: Its true. Your tires need to be rotated, too, and I also suggest getting a wheel
alignment.
Sophia: Well, this is all a big surprise, especially since I just bought this used car a couple of
months ago.
Mechanic: You did? Well, you got ripped off. Whoever sold you this car is a crook. Where did
you buy it?
Sophia: I bought it here! I bought this from the owner of this garage. He said that it was in tiptop shape!
Activity (Online Game): This website has four "mystery" pictures of car parts to identify
verbally of a tire, a gas door, a grille, and a turn signal.
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngkids/what/wiw_ap.html
Activity (Story Time): The teacher can read, or let an advanced student read, a book about cars,
such as: Mater and the Ghost Light by Disney.
Online Resources for Finding the Value of a Car:

The instructor should discuss the different ways of finding the value of a new or used car through
the use of the internet. Explain how buyers should consult the Kelly Blue Book (or other source
like NADA) to identify the value of a car before making a purchase. A Kelly Blue Book can also
be purchased for around $10. Students should take note of the following websites:
o Kelly Blue Book http://www.kbb.com/
o NADA http://www.nada.com/
o www.msn.com They can switch the language to Spanish and then search the auto
section. This website offers more detailed pricing information and specifications.
o Edmunds www.edmunds.com
Activity (Kelly Blue Book Time): Either bring a couple copies of the Kelly Blue Book to class
or pull up the website on a projector screen for everyone to see. Show the students how the
book/website is laid out and how to search for specific cars. The ask students to find their own
car in the book/website in order to be aware of its value.
Understanding the Gauges on a Car: Go over the following information with the students and
have them take notes on their worksheet. Let them know that the gauges in their car could be a
little different and in varying locations, but that this is just an overview of the most common
layout.
Speedometer- The job of the speedometer is to indicate the speed of your car in miles per hour,
kilometers per hour or both.
Temperature Gauge- This gauge measures the temperature of the engine coolant in degrees. It is
very important to monitor the temperature gauge to be sure that your engine is not overheating. If
you notice that the gauge is reading much hotter than it usually is and the outside temperature is
not unusually hot, have the cooling system checked as soon as possible. Note: If the temperature
gauge moves all the way to hot, or if the temperature warning light comes on, the engine is
overheating! Safely pull off the road and turn the engine off and let it cool. An overheating
engine can quickly cause serious engine damage!
Fuel Gauge- It is not a good idea to let your tank drop below 1/4. This is because your fuel
pump is submerged in fuel at the bottom of the tank. The liquid fuel helps to keep the fuel pump
cool. If the fuel level goes too low and uncovers the pump, the pump will run hotter than
normal. If you do this often enough, it can shorten the life of the fuel pump and eventually cause
it to fail.
Tachometer- The tachometer measures how fast the engine is turning in RPM (Revolutions Per
Minute). This information is useful if your car has a standard shift transmission and you want to
shift at the optimum RPM for best fuel economy or best acceleration.
Oil Pressure Lamp- Measures engine oil pressure in pounds per square inch. Oil pressure is just
as important to an engine as blood pressure is to a person. If you run an engine with no oil
pressure even for less than a minute, you can easily destroy it. Most cars have an oil lamp that
lights when oil pressure is dangerously low. If it comes on while you're driving, stop the vehicle
as soon as is safely possible and shut off the engine. Then, check the oil level and add oil as
necessary.
Charging System Lamp- The charging system is what provides the electrical current for your
vehicle. Without a charging system, your battery will soon be depleted and your vehicle will shut
down. When a charging problem is indicated, you can still drive a short distance to find help
unlike an oil pressure or coolant temperature problem which can cause serious engine damage if
you continue to drive. The worst that can happen is that you get stuck in a bad location.
Trip Computer- A trip computer can record distance travelled for a certain time period. They
can be used on vacations or other small journeys in which you wish to know the total amount of
miles you traveled.
Activity (Car Gauges): Draw the complete set of dashboard gauges on the board. The
instructor should start by drawing a sketch of the dashboard. Then have students come up one by
one and draw a gauge. Let them explain what it is used for as they add it to the dashboard set. It
may be helpful to have different colored markers to use. In the end you should have a rough
sketch of all the dashboard gauges you just covered.
Finding a Car Manual Online and in the store: Discuss with the students the ability to
purchase a car manual online in order to fix a simple problem with their car. They can go to this
website below to purchase manuals in Spanish or English for about $25.00.
http://www.haynes.com/
They can also call Haynes at 18054986703 (not a toll free number) to order by phone. They say
they have Spanish people at this number that can help with an order.
Another option is Auto Zone. They may have a person that speaks Spanish that can help at the
store and order the book for anyone who is interested. Carquest Auto Parts carries a few of the
most popular manuals. They have to special order any other books, as well as those in Spanish.

Activity (Swat the Word): The objective of this game is to have students practice their
vocabulary. You will need two fly swatters for the game. First, write 30 vocabulary words on
the board in random order. Then, divide the class into two teams and give each team a fly
swatter. Each team will send up one representative at a time to face off with the other team. The
two students will stand on opposite sides of the board while you read out a definition of one of
the vocabulary words. The first team member to swat the correct word on the board wins the
point. After each round you must erase the last word (or make it more difficult for the players by
leaving all the words on the board). The game ends when one team reaches 20 points.
Students can visit these websites to take fun vocabulary quizzes:

Activity (Describing the Taste of Food Podcast): Follow the link below and listen to a short
podcast related to adjectives. Have students write down words that they do not know while
listening to the short story. Afterward, review the words in bold as well as other the students did
not understand. You can start the podcast at 1 minute 25 seconds and end it at 3 minutes seven
seconds.
Script:
Steve, my new boyfriend, decided to cook dinner for me. I was really excited, that is, until I
tried his cooking.
Steve: What do you think of the soup?
I thought: This is so bland, and what are these little lumpy things in the soup? Of course I didnt
say that aloud.
Elaine: Its delicious. It has a very interesting flavor.
When Steve served the main course, a baked chicken, he asked,
Steve: What do you think of the chicken? Is it too salty or spicy?

I thought: Yes! Its too salty and its so spicy I can hardly eat it without breathing fire. The
outside of the chicken is overcooked and the inside is raw! But out loud, I said,
Elaine: No, not at all! It has an interesting texture and Im enjoying every bite.
I thought: Oh, no. Is there more? Steve went into the kitchen and brought dessert.
Steve: What do you think of this cake?
I thought: This cake should be sweet, but it has a strange sour taste. Could there be something
seriously wrong with Steves taste buds? But aloud, I said,
Elaine: Its yummy. Its the best cake that anyone has ever made for me.
And it was true. I didnt care how bad the meal was. Its the thought that counts.
Activity (Taste Testing): Bring a bag of popcorn chicken to class as well as several different
types of sauces like honey mustard, BBQ, ranch, ketchup, etc. Give each student a handful of
popcorn chicken and a plate of all the different sauces to taste test. Have the students break up
into pairs and bring blindfolds so that they cant open their eyes. Have one partner test the other
by feeding them one sauce and then asking what it is. The partner who guesses the most foods
correctly wins. But make it interesting by telling the students to close their eyes and hold their
nose while they eat the food. It is supposed to be harder to tell what you are tasting without your
sense of vision or smell. Afterwards, go through the different sauces and ask the students how
they tasted (salty, sweet, cool, hot, etc.).
Activity (Role Play and Recipe Following): The objective of this activity is to allow students
to learn vocabulary, practice pronunciation, and perform speaking skills through a role play
atmosphere. Ask students to think of words related to restaurants in Spanish. Translate those
words into English and have them write vocabulary.
Tell the students that we are all going to go into business together. We have found the secret
recipe to making the best hamburgers and hot dogs. We know everyone will come and buy these
once they hear about them. We need though to be ready for when the customers come. We need
to make up our dialogue of what we will say to customers in English when they come. We also
are only going to communicate in English together so we need to make up a dialogue for all
positions in the restaurant.
Divide the group into small groups to write a dialogue related to:
Waitress/Waiter
Cook
Manager
Bus boy/girl
Customer
Write dialogue in Spanish and can translate to English. Group gives one paper to teacher.
Teacher writes words on board and the group translates. Everyone needs to write the dialogues
because we will be role playing later.

Tips on Keeping Your Child Healthy
Make sure your child eats breakfast. Breakfast provides children with the energy
they need to listen and learn in school.
Offer your child a wide variety of foods, such as grains, vegetables and fruits,
low-fat dairy products, and lean meat or beans.
Talk with your health care provider if you are concerned about your child's eating
habits or weight.
Cook with less fat bake, roast, or poach foods instead of frying.
Limit the amount of added sugar in your child's diet. Serve water or low-fat milk
more often than sugar-sweetened sodas and fruit-flavored drinks.
Involve your child in planning and preparing meals. Children may be more
willing to eat the dishes they help fix.
Be a role model for your children. If they see you being physically active and
having fun, they are more likely to be active and stay active throughout their lives.
Encourage your child to be active everyday.
Involve the whole family in activities like hiking, biking, dancing, basketball or
roller skating.

Tips on Keeping Your Child Healthy
Make sure your child eats breakfast. Breakfast provides children with the energy
they need to listen and learn in school.
Offer your child a wide variety of foods, such as grains, vegetables and fruits,
low-fat dairy products, and lean meat or beans.
Talk with your health care provider if you are concerned about your child's eating
habits or weight.
Cook with less fat bake, roast, or poach foods instead of frying.
Limit the amount of added sugar in your child's diet. Serve water or low-fat milk
more often than sugar-sweetened sodas and fruit-flavored drinks.
Involve your child in planning and preparing meals. Children may be more
willing to eat the dishes they help fix.
Be a role model for your children. If they see you being physically active and
having fun, they are more likely to be active and stay active throughout their lives.
Encourage your child to be active everyday.
Involve the whole family in activities like hiking, biking, dancing, basketball or
roller skating.

Activity (Online quizzes): Students can go directly to these websites to take fun quizzes to test
their vocabulary knowledge.
o Occupations Quiz:
http://a4esl.org/q/f/x/xz64mbs.htm
o Jobs Quiz:
http://iteslj.org/v/s/ab-jobs.html
o Professions Quiz:
http://iteslj.org/v/s/cwlb30.html
o Work Quiz:
Show a picture like the one below to the students and ask them what this persons
occupation is, what they do, and how they help you and I? Then discuss with the students
the importance of maintaining good vision for themselves and for their children. One way
to do this is through free vision screenings at Wal-Mart or through their local Lions
Club.
Lions clubs often conduct free vision screenings. Often, the screenings are performed by Lions
who are eye care professionals. Some Lions districts have their own mobile van for vision
screenings. In other instances, clubs arrange with local hospitals or health departments for an eye
care professional to perform the screenings. Contact your local Lions Club to find out what
services they are offering and when.
It is also vital for parents to know that children should have their vision tested at age three.
Indicators of vision problems in children include:
attempts to brush away blurred vision

blinking more than usual
rubbing eyes frequently
squinting when focusing on distant objects
frowning excessively or tilting of the head from one side
stumbling over small objects
sensitivity to light
red, swollen, or encrusted eyelids
recurring sties in the eyes
inflamed or watery eyes
The instructor should review the three major ways to find a job: through word of mouth
or signs, through newspaper classified ads, and through the Tennessee Career Center.
The following sections offer fun activities to teach the students about these topics.
Activity (How to Find a Job): word of mouth, signs; Discuss with the students the first way of
finding a jobthrough word of mouth from a friend or acquaintance and from signs in windows
that say:
Now hiring.
Taking job applications.
Apply within.
Present the four images to the students and discuss what they mean. Then have them write them
down the words and definitions. Ask them what they would do if they saw those signs? Where
signs like these are located?
Activity (How to Find a Job): newspaper classified ads; The teacher will make and pass out to
each student a copy of the classified help wanted ads found below. The teacher will go over the
ads with the students and ask them what words they recognize from the ads. Then the teacher
will explain the meaning of the words in each ad; and the student will take notes on the paper
beside the ad. Explain that this is only a sampling of jobs. They could also put an ad in the
paper stating that they could do landscaping, etc. and find work that way.

out some newspapers from the local town. Make it a contest and have the students hurry to find
where the classified ads are in the paper. As soon as they find it, raise their hands. The first
group to have all members find the classified ads, wins. Then have them pour over the ads and
ask questions about abbreviations or terms. The teacher or an advanced student can read some of
the ads aloud that are of particular interest. Ask them what they would do, now that they have
found an ad that interests them. (Sometimes there isnt always one that they qualify for, but they
need to keep looking because they do pop up.)
Instructor should review these newspaper abbreviations with the students. Write the
abbreviation on the board and have the students guess what it means. Then explain what
the abbreviations stands for and how it relates to a job.

Script:
Jeng: What did you do this summer?
Cynthia: I worked at a summer camp as a nurses aide. I thought we would be giving
simple first aid, but you wouldnt believe the kinds of injuries the kids came in with.
Jeng: You mean like poison ivy, bee stings, bug bites, and scraped knees?
Cynthia: Yeah, we had those, but we also had some pretty serious cases. For instance, the
second day of the camp, one of the boys who didnt know how to swim fell into the lake. He
must have hit his head because he was unconscious when they brought him in. We couldnt
find his pulse and the nurse did CPR. Luckily, we got him breathing again right away, but
that little boy had a concussion.
Jeng: Wow! Youre kidding. Thats serious.
Cynthia: That wasnt all. Its true that most of the kids came in with superficial scrapes,
but some of them had some major wounds. We had to stop the bleeding and bandage them
up. We had one girl who needed 12 stitches after she fell out of a tree.
Jeng: Geez, I never knew going to camp could be so hazardous to your health!

Script:
Dr. van Eyck: Good morning, Im Dr. van Eyck. I understand that youre not feeling well.
Nico: Thats right, doctor. Ive had a stomachache for three days. The pain comes and goes, but I
also have heartburn and I am feeling bloated all the time.
Dr. van Eyck: Well, lets take a look. Have you felt nauseous? Does it hurt when I press here?
Nico: Oh yes, that hurts, and I feel nauseous all the time. But, doctor, thats not all. Ive also had
bad headaches in the past week and I feel fatigued all the time.
Dr. van Eyck: Have you had a stuffy nose, a cough, a sore throat, or an earache?
Nico: Yes, Ive had all of those.
Dr. van Eyck: You have? All of them?
Nico: And, theres more. Ive been feeling pains in my leg. Sometimes it feels stiff and
sometimes I lose feeling in it. Im having a lot of trouble walking.
Dr. van Eyck: I have to say that you have an unusual combination of symptoms. Have there been
any significant changes in your life in the past few days?
Nico: Well, my in-laws are visiting from out of town. Do you think youll need to admit me into
the hospital for tests?
Dr. van Eyck: Im not sure thats necessary. Are things really that bad at home?
Nico: You have no idea!
Activity (Role Play): Divide the students into four small groups and ask them to come up with a
short skit related to the doctors office. You can incorporate props such as notepads, pens,
phones, lab coats, toy stethoscopes, etc.. Have each group act out one of the following scenes:
Making an appointment
Seeing the Doctor
Checking out
Getting the Prescription/ Filling it at the Pharmacy
Activity (Are you Healthy Quiz?): Pass out a quiz to each student and have them take about 10
minutes to complete it. An advanced learner could help others if needed. Afterwards, read out
the answers and explanations to the students. Discuss with them the importance of having a
healthy lifestyle and how it can benefit their children as well.
1. You should have 2-4 servings of fruit every day, and 3-5 servings of vegetables every
day. If you add those together, you get 5-9 servings. The servings are small, usually
around the size of a medium size apple. Fruits and vegetables are a great way to
satisfy a snack craving, and they are also easy to take along with you wherever you
go.
2. Vitamin C is an important nutrient that helps keep your immune system strong, which
means that it can help fight off illnesses like a cold or the flu. Orange juice comes
from oranges, and like other citrus fruits is high in Vitamin C. Other examples of
citrus fruits are grapefruit, tangerines, limes and lemons.
3. Water is the most important70% of our bodies is composed of water. Milk is also
important, because it is a good source of calcium, which helps to keep bones strong.
4. Protein helps grow strong muscles as well as keeps the muscles you have healthy. Pie
is usually high in sugar. Broccoli has many vitamins and minerals and is good for
you. Meat is the food group that is highest in protein.
5. Candy-- Candy doesn't have any vitamins or nutrients, and it is filled with sugar that
the body uses immediately.
6. Bread, cereal, potatoes and the rest of the Bread/Cereal group are great sources of
carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are what the body uses as energy and fuel, and so it is
important to get many servings of this group each day.
7. When the word snack comes to mind, some kids think of sweets and junk food. But
those things are not good for you and are not filling, which means they can leave you
still craving other foods. Peanuts are the best snack out of the choices, and they
shouldn't leave you feeling hungry after you eat them.
8. We should eat different kinds of fruits because each fruit contains different nutrients,
and all of them are important. Oranges are filled with Vitamin C, while bananas have
lots of Potassium. Both are important, and should be included in your diet.
9. It is important to keep your body healthy, and exercising at least an hour a day will
help do that.
10. Calories are burned away from exercise, which is why it is important for you to eat
well all of the time.
11. Exercise definitely makes your muscles stronger, because the more that you use
them- the bigger they get. Exercise also can be fun, especially if you play sports that
you enjoy. Exercise also gives your heart a good workout by increasing the rate for an
extended period of time. The answer is all of the above.
12. This one may be hard. If you exercise at least three times per week, then your
metabolism should increase. This increase will be ongoing, which means that it won't
just happen when you are exercising. The answer is true.
Activity (Oral Health Quiz): Set up a gameshow type scenario. Divide the students into two
groups and provide one small dry erase board (or several sheets of paper) to each group. You
can have advanced students be scorekeeps and group helpers. Read the following 12 questions
to the groups one by one, and have them guess the correct answer. The group with the most
points wins. Discuss with the groups the importance of oral health and how vital it is to take care
of their childs teeth as well.
1. You should never give any form of fluoride to children younger than age 2.
True
False
Correct Answer: False
According to the American Dental Association, children who drink fluoridated water have up to
40 percent fewer cavities than other children. However, too much fluoride can cause unsightly
spots on your child's teeth. Also, don't use fluoride toothpaste for babies or toddlers unless your
dentist recommends it.
2. You should start brushing your child's teeth as soon as the first one appears.
True
False
Correct Answer: True
As soon your child has teeth, you should start brushing them gently twice a day with a soft, wet
toothbrush. Children younger than 2 should not use fluoride toothpaste unless a dentist
recommends it.
3. According to the American Dental Association, when should you schedule your child's
first dental appointment?
As soon as the first tooth erupts
On his/her second birthday
When all his/her baby teeth come in
When he/she starts losing baby teeth
Correct Answer: as soon as the first tooth erupts.
An early visit to the dentist can help prevent problems down the road. The dentist will examine
your child's teeth, clean them (if necessary), and help you come up with a strategy for preventing
cavities in the future.
4. It doesn't matter if a child gets cavities in his baby teeth because these fall out anyway.
True
False
Correct Answer: False
You can't expect a toddler to learn to talk clearly or try his first bite of corn on the cob without a
healthy set of teeth. Just as important, baby teeth help create space for permanent teeth. If your
child's baby teeth rot away or fall out too early, his permanent teeth may come in crowded or
crooked. That's why taking good care of baby teeth paves the way for a confident smile later on.
5. Which of the following is not a way to prevent baby bottle tooth decay?
Never put a baby to sleep with the bottle in its mouth (or take it out after 15 min).
Feed your baby sugary liquids.
Make sure your child is getting proper fluoride treatments.
Have regular dental visits.
Correct Answer: Feed your baby sugary liquids.
6. Thumb sucking isn't likely to harm baby teeth.
True
False
Thumb sucking is a soothing hobby for many young children, and it won't harm their young
teeth. Permanent teeth, however, are another story. If your child is still sucking his thumb when
permanent teeth come in -- usually around age 6 or 7 -- the teeth may come in crooked.
7. Pure fruit juice can harm teeth.
True
False

Pure fruit juice is loaded with vitamins, but it's also loaded with sugar. In addition to tooth
decay, an overload of juice can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, and flatulence.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children shouldn't drink fruit juice until they
are at least 6 months old. Children under 7 should be limited to four or six ounces of juice each
day.
8. How many adults are affected by gum disease?
one out of four
every adult
half of aduls
three out of four
Correct Answer: Three out of four adults
Answer explanation: After age 35, some form of gum disease affects three out of four adults.
Gum disease, a bacterial infection of tissues that support our teeth, is a major cause of tooth loss
in adults, especially older Americans. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, almost three of every ten adults over age 65 have lost all of their teeth because of
cavities and gum disease. You can prevent gum disease by brushing and flossing every day.
9. Which of the following is NOT an early warning sign of gum disease:
yellow teeth
gums that bleed when you brush your teeth
tender gums
red or swollen gums
Correct Answer: yellow teeth
Answer explanation: Yellow teeth are not a symptom of gum disease. Many stains are the
result of smoking, coffee, tea and/or age, and may be improved with whitening treatments. If
you notice any of the symptoms above (gums that bleed when you brush your teeth, red,
swollen or tender gums and gums that have pulled away from the teeth) contact your dentist
or dental hygienist today to schedule an appointment.
10. Gum disease can best be prevented by:

Brushing your teeth twice daily.
eating sugary foods
never flossing
cutting back on between-meal-snacks
Correct Answer: brushing your teeth twice daily
Answer explanation: All of the above. Plaque is the major cause of periodontal (gum) disease.
You can remove plaque by brushing your teeth twice a day, and flossing once a day. It is
important to have regular dental checkups, and professional cleanings to prevent gum disease.
Cutting back on between-meal-snacks and sugary foods can help prevent gum disease because
starches break down into sugars once they're in your mouth. Each time you eat food that
contains sugars or starches, acids attack the teeth for 20 minutes or more.
11. What is the best way to clean my teeth?
brush harder
just brushing my teeth once a day
using mouthwash
brush gently, twice a day, with a soft toothbrush and floss once a day
Correct Answer: brush gently, twice a day, with a soft toothbrush and floss once a day
Answer explanation: Brushing too vigorously, with a hard toothbrush, can harm the teeth and
gums, causing them to deteriorate over time. Flossing removes food particles between teeth that
the toothbrush can't reach. Brushing alone reaches only three out of five tooth surfaces. Also, the
surfaces tooth brushing can't reach are areas where gum disease can most easily get started in
your mouth. An oral irrigator can be used in conjunction with brushing and flossing.
12. How often should I change my toothbrush?
every year
once every six months
every three months
it never needs to be changed
Correct answer: once every three months
Answer explanation: Most dental professionals recommend that toothbrushes be replaced every
three months. Toothbrushes should also be replaced after you or family members have had a
cold, flu, or other upper respiratory infection. Do not share toothbrushes with other family
members.
The instructor should discuss with the students the importance of oral care and the
necessity of dental screenings/ dental examinations for themselves and their children.
A dental screening does not take the place of an annual/bi-annual examination by the dentist and
no x-rays are taken. A dental screening is an inspection of the mouth to see if there are any
oral/dental problems. The most common problems that children have are dental decay, gum
disease, and improper tooth eruption. A dental screening may occur free at their childs school
once a year. Occasionally the Ronald McDonald House or another charitable organization will
conduct free dental screening. Check within your area and share the information that you find
with the students.
Activity (Going to the Dentist Podcast): Follow the link below to listen to the podcast
related to oral health. Ask students to take note of the words they do not know. Afterward,
review the vocabulary words in bold and the words they had trouble with.
Script:
I went to the dentist to get a check-up and cleaning. I showed up at the dentist's office a few
minutes before 10. I gave the receptionist my name and told her that I had a 10 a.m. appointment.
She said that the doctor was running a little late and that I should take a seat. After about 15
minutes, a dental assistant came out and told me to follow her. She led me to a room and told me
to take a seat in the exam chair, and then she put a dental bib on me.
The dentist came into the room.
Dentist: Hello, how are you today? Here for your six month check-up?
Gary: I'm fine, Dr. Meecham. Yes, just a cleaning and check- up today.
Dentist: Oh, fine. Let's take a look.
She probed my teeth and checked my gums.
Dentist: Well, it looks like you have a cavity and your crown is loose. We need to fill that cavity
before it gets any worse and the crown needs to be refitted. Make an appointment for next week
and I'll take care of them.
Gary: Okay, I'll do that, but my crown was just put on last year. Will my dental insurance cover
the work?
Dentist: Since you had that done here, we'll take care of it. There won't be a charge. And, your
insurance should cover the work on the cavity. Now, I'm going to have the hygienist do your
cleaning and I'll see you soon for the other work.
Gary: Thanks, doctor.
The hygenist came into the room and had me rinse with mouthwash. She began her cleaning and
finished by polishing my teeth. On my way out, I tried to make an appointment for the following
week. Unfortunately, there were no appointments available for two weeks, and the time they had
was an inconvenient one, but I said Id manage. I have to say, going to the dentist can be a
pain, in the mouth and in the butt.
Activity (Health Video): You can go to this website to watch an interesting video about health.
Should you drink lemonade or soda? Is it better to have a donut for breakfast or nothing at all?
This video helps you choose the lesser of two evils:

Activity (Essay for Advanced Learners): An essay is attached to the student worksheet
sections. Just a reminder, you do not need to print out the essay page for everyone just those
advanced learners. You can ask them to bring it back next class, if they would like to review
their mistakes.
Activity (Illness Review): Go through some of the illnesses below and have the students
describe how they feel. They can use some of the vocabulary adjectives. Have them look up in
the dictionary any word they do not know.
Backache
Cold
Earache
Running nose
Sore throat
Toothache
Broken
Cough
Flu
Sick
Stiff neck
Burn
Cut
Headache
Sneeze
Stomach ache
Instructor should explain the procedures for child sick days at school. At the beginning
of the school year, it is necessary for the parents to fill out the yellow permission card
which grants other people the ability to pick their child up from school. This is in case of
an emergency or in case the parents cannot be reached by telephone. The secretary will
call and notify them of their childs illness. They will usually be able to speak with their
child over the phone. Then, they need to come pick their child up from school. They can
go to the office or clinic to pick them up. If their child is absent from school they need to
send a note to the teacher explaining why. This is so that the school knows that the
parent is aware of their childs absence.
The instructor should discuss with the students the idea of parental involvement in U.S.
schools and the related vocabulary. Ask the student to discuss among themselves why it is
important to be involved in their childs education Then, review the following ways to
help your child in school More detailed information can be found at

Activity (Parents Help): Ask the students to discuss among themselves why it is important to be
involved in their childs education. Go around the classroom and ask each student to give an
example of how their parents helped them throughout their life.
The instructor should explain about calling into work sick.
Tell your students: If you must miss work because of illness or an emergency situation, you
are responsible for calling your supervisor and notifying them about missing work.
Discuss what are appropriate reasons to call in to work. Examples are doctor appointments,
being sick or a child who is sick, the weather (such as snow or flooding).
Activity (Powerpoints Calling in Sick): Go to the website below to see two short Power
Points that cover the topic of calling in sick. You will need to use a projector screen so that
all the students can see it. Go to ESL Employment; Soft Skills 1 and 2.

The Instructor should discuss poison control to the students; help them identify what
everyday household products are dangerous, and who to call in case of an emergency.
The Instructor should explain how this information is vital to their health as well as their
childs health. Some basic poison information can be found below and should be
discussed with the students.
Levels of hazards are identified this way:

DANGER - substances which are ex-tremely flammable, corrosive or highly
toxic.
POISON - substances which are highly toxic.
WARNING, or CAUTION - substances which are moderately or slightly toxic.
A statement telling you how to avoid the hazard must appear with safe use instructions.
Examples might be KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN or USE IN A WELLVENTILATED AREA.
As a consumer you should make it a habit to read hazardous product labels such as: Brand Name
1. Signal Word - Danger, Poison, Warning or Caution
2. Instructions for Safe Handling and Use (example: recommended amount to
use)
3. Description of Hazard and Precautions (example: Irritant to skin and eyes,
harmful if swallowed)
4. First Aid Instructions, when necessary or appropriate (example: If swallowed,
feed milk).
Pesticides Are Different--- Regulations concerning pesticides are different. On pesticides, the
word "warning" means that the product is moderately toxic. This means that one teaspoon to one
ounce can kill an average adult. The word "caution" means that the product is slightly toxic. It
would take over one ounce to kill an average adult.
Types of Hazardous Household Products
Most hazardous household products can be grouped into four major categories:
Automotive products which are hazardous include motor oil, brake and
transmission fluid, antifreeze and car batteries, gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, and
car wax with solvent.
Household cleaners include drain cleaners, oven cleaners, toilet cleaners, spot
removers, silver polishes, furniture polishes, cleansers and powdered cleaners,
window cleaners, bleach, liquid cleaners, dyes.
Paints and solvents include latex, oil-based, auto and model paint, paint stripper,
primer, rust remover, turpentine, varnish, wood preservative, mineral spirits,
glues.
Pesticides.
Other hazardous products include: aerosol products, dry cell and disc or button
batteries, hearing aid batteries, moth balls and flakes, shoe polish, photographic
chemicals, smoke detectors and air fresheners and deodorizers.
In case of emergency you should contact the Tennessee Poison Center immediately at:
Tennessee Poison Center
501 Oxford House
1161 21st Avenue South
Nashville, TN 37232-4632
Emergency Phone: (800) 222-1222
http://www.poisonlifeline.org/
Activity (Product Knowledge): Bring several products from your home such as aerosol cans
and window cleaner. Allow the students to see the labels and warnings. Review any word that
they are unfamiliar with. Try to identify the images from the previous activity.
Activity (Image Recognition): Go through the images with the students in order for them to
gain a better understanding of words they may not know and what the signs
mean
The instructor should explain to the class what is considered an emergency and when/
when not to call 911.
To help you decide what an emergency is; here are some examples:
unconsciousness,
a suspected stroke,
heavy blood loss,
suspected broken bones,
a deep wound such as a stab wound,
a suspected heart attack,
difficulty in breathing,
severe burns, and
a severe allergic reaction.
911 Information
What is 911?
The United States has decided to use the telephone number 911 for emergency response
services.
When to call 911
To report something which requires a police officer to come (such as someone being attacked or
robbed).
To get an ambulance for emergency medical help
To report a fire
To report a crime in progress
To report unusual or criminal activity (e.g. alarms, gun shots fired, shouts for help, sounds of
glass breaking, unfamiliar persons carrying items from a house).
Do not call 911:
To ask for directions
To ask about animal control issues such as whether you can own a pet
To find out if someone is in jail
To report situations that are not of a police, fire, or medical nature.
To report a non-emergency medical situation
To contact someone for community information
What happens when you call 911?
If you do not speak English it is important that you tell the 911 operator what language you
speak. A translator may be brought on the line or you may be asked if you are with someone
who speaks English. The 911 operator is required to ask a number of questions to understand the
situation and where it is happening. Some of the questions may seem unnecessary, but they are
important to make sure that the emergency is clearly understood This will help make sure the
needed help (firefighters, police, ambulance or others) gets to the right place as quickly as
possible. Stay on the telephone for as long as you can to guide the operator in getting help to
you.
Activity (911 Role Play): Ask an advanced student to assist you in performing a mock 911 call.
Explain a mock scenario (suspected stroke/ deep wound/ broken bones) to the class and have the
student respond appropriately. You play the operator and follow the script below:
911 Is this an emergency?
-----------What has happened?
-----------Okay what is your address?
-----------What is your address and telephone number?
-----------Help is on the way. Please stay calm and remain on the line.
Activity (Photo Story): Go to the website below and click on ESL Photo Story: Whats The
Emergency. A short film will play. Use a projector to show the clip and have students shout
out what the emergency is and you go along.
http://www.tinkerbellchime.com/
Activity (Emergency Numbers): Bring a pack of note cards to class and distribute one to each
student. Have them write down the name and number of who to call in case of an emergency.
Include 911, the TN Poison Control Center, hospital, doctors office, and your area police
department.
Fire Prevention and Safety

The instructor should review the following information with the students and answer any
questions. More information can be found at the U.S. Fire Administrations website:
https://www.usfa.dhs.gov/citizens/all_citizens/home_fire_prev/alarms/. Then explain to
students the need to have a fire escape plan for their home. They should practice escape
routes with their children in case of an emergency.
o A smoke alarm is a device that detects smoke and issues an alarm to alert nearby people
that there is a potential fire. In the event of a fire, a smoke alarm can save your life and
those of your loved ones. They are a very important means of preventing house and
apartment fire fatalities by providing an early warning signal -- so you and your family
can escape. Smoke alarms are one of the best safety devices you can buy and install to
protect yourself, your family, and your home.
o Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, including the basement. Many fatal
fires begin late at night or in the early morning. For extra safety, install smoke alarms
both inside and outside sleeping areas. Since smoke and many deadly gases rise,
installing your smoke alarms at the proper level will provide you with the earliest
warning possible. Always follow the manufacturers installation instructions.
o Develop a home fire escape plan and designate a meeting place outside. Make sure
everyone in the family knows two ways to escape from every room. Practice feeling your
way out with your eyes closed.

What to do in a Fire: (Explain to the parents that this information should be discussed
with their children)
Check the doors before opening them (lightly touch the door and doorknob before
opening them. If they are hot it mean there is fire on the other side. Dont open the door!
Stay Low and avoid dangerous smoke and poisonous air.
Stop, Drop, and Roll! if your clothes are on fire.
Never hide under bed or in a closet, even if your scared. The fire fighters will not be
able to find you.
Activity (Fire Evacuation Routes): Have the students plan out their fire evacuation route. Tell
them to have two escape routes from each room of the house. Let them sketch out a simple floor
plan of their house and highlight the evacuation routes. Explain to them the importance of
making their children aware of fire safety and their homes fire evacuation routes. Also, explain
the importance of a meeting spot outside of the house in case of emergency.
Activity (Natural Disaster Identification): Have students fill in the blanks on the provided
worksheet. Help them to identify different kinds of natural disasters.
Activity (Tornado in a Bottle): Follow these instructions to create a tornado in a bottle.

Explain to the class the frequency of tornados in the Tennessee area. Discuss precautions they
should take and what to do in a tornado.
Materials:
2 2-litre pop bottles with caps
Duct tape
Silicon caulking
Water
Drill (get an adults help with this)
Food colouring (optional)
Plastic confetti (optional)
Note: Some science stores sell a Tornado Tube adapter which allows you to connect the
two pop bottles without drilling or gluing.
Instruction:
1. Take the caps off both the pop bottles.
2. Get an adults help to drill a 1/2" hole in the centre of each cap.
3. Place the caps together and put a bead of silicon around the hole to seal it. Let dry.
4. Wrap a piece of duct tape around the outside of the two caps to firmly join them together.
5. Screw the double cap onto one of the pop bottles.
6. Fill the other pop bottle about 3/4 full of water. Add food colouring or plastic confetti to
the water if you want.
7. Screw the empty bottle onto the top of the bottle containing the water.
8. Hold the duct-taped area with one hand and the bottom of the bottle with the other hand.
9. Turn the bottles upside-down and swirl them in a few quick circles. A vortex forms as the
water drains into the lower bottle.

Activity (Pictionary): Make a copy of the vocabulary words above and then cut them out into
individual strips. Play a fun game of Pictionary using the words. Divide the students into two
teams and have them pick a creative name for their team. Then, have students come forward one
at a time and randomly draw a topic from the hat. They get 30 seconds to draw their picture and
have their team guess what they are drawing. If their team can guess the topic in less than 30
seconds they receive the point. However, if at the end of the 30 seconds they still do not know
the answer, the other team has the chance to guess one time and possibly steal the point. Then,
its the other team time to try and guess their players drawing.
Activity (In this class): This activity is designed to provide students practice with their
vocabulary and listening skills. Ask students to guess what class you are in by listening to a few
simple clues. For example, you say I listen to things that happened in the past, we talk about
how American was created, some of the things we discuss are past presidents. What class am I
in?

Parents should be aware of the school board policies in their childs school. Things like the dress
code, the no tolerance, attendance policy, etc. can greatly affect their childs education. At the
beginning of each school year the school board passes out a policy booklet for parents and
students. Call your local superintendents office and ask if they have any extras you can review
with the students. Also, let the students know that most schools have a website you can access
for information related to their policies.
Communicating with the school

o The instructor should discuss the topic of communicating with the school. First, ask the
students when they would need/ like to talk to a school teacher or administrator. List the
reasons on the board. Then, continue discussing necessary vocabulary, the Parent
Teacher Conference, notes from school, etc.
Parents Should Know:
research shows that when families get involved, their children:

Are more likely to go on to higher education.
Are better behaved and have more positive attitudes.
Activity (Ways to Get Involved): Let parents know how heavily they are expected to be
involved in their childs education in many ways here in the U.S. Discuss with the students
ways to get involved and make a list on the board. Some examples are listed below:
1. Become a class mom. Many classrooms have a parent committee or class mom who
organizes parties, chaperones field trips, and is present at most functions.
2. Attend school functions like ballgames and fundraisers with your child.

9. Set a bed time.
10. Make sure they eat a healthy breakfast in the morning.
11. Encourage them every day!
What to do if their child falls behind:
The instructor should let the parents know that there are a variety of things they can do
to keep their child from falling behind.
o First, you should talk to your child and to your child's teacher to determine what the
problem is. It could be that your child is bored, that your child is frustrated, easily
distracted, or maybe not being challenged enough in the classroom.
o Work with the teacher to find solutions that can help your child get back on track and
really reach that desired performance level.
o Get your child a tutor. Your childs teacher may be willing to help them after class or
send some extra work home that you two can do together to help. many afterschool
programs help with tutoring.
o Encourage your child to set goals for themselves and meet those goals. Help them to
achieve success by checking their homework, helping them with assignments, or helping
them study.

bachelor's, master's, doctorate) plus various non-degree certificates and diplomas. In addition,
there are special education services, adult basic and continuing education, leisure learning
programs, and continuing professional education and training programs. Completion of each
level or stage is a prerequisite for access to the next, and a variety of assessment and evaluation
tools are used to determine learning needs, academic achievement standards, and eligibility to
proceed to higher levels of education.
Homework Directions
Instructor should review typical words on homework pages. Write examples on the
board to provide visual aids to the students. Some examples are:

Activity (Origami): Follow the link below and click on Simple Origami or Origami for
Kids to see a variety of different origami techiniques. Print out a few of the instructions and
provide paper (it can be colorful, but needs to be thin; not construction paper) to the students.
Let them get creative making their origami and following the directions. The origami dog and
simple yacht look fun, but easy!
Activity (Instruction Making): Play a quick game of hangman with the students. Afterward,
tell them that you want them to imagine that no one has ever played the game of hangman before
and that they are the only people who know how. Divide them into groups or pairs and ask them
to write out a set of clear instructions. You be the judge and the group with the simplest and
clearest instructions wins. You should write a few words they might need (line, letter, guess,
player, team, etc) on the board.
How to Use a Dictionary
The instructor should review with the students how to use a dictionary, where to find a
dictionary, and other useful dictionary information such as the information below:
o Words in a dictionary are in alphabetical order.

o In a Spanish/ English dictionary the book in divided in half with one language in the front
and the other in the back.
o There is also other information about words such as their function or part of speech, their
pronunciation, as well as origins, or roots, of words.
o Information such as English to metric conversion tables, maps, Presidents of the United
States, explanations of common symbols, and most important "How to Use a Dictionary"
can be found.
o The words at the top of the page are guide words.
o A dictionary can be found in the reference section of the library.
Activity (Look up the Word): Go through the steps below with the students. Have them look
up the word while you read out the instructions, then answer any questions they may have.
1.
First, figure out what letter your target word starts with. We will look up the word
FUTILE.
2.
Next, open the dictionary so that it lies flat on the table before you. In the upper corners
of the pages, notice the GUIDE WORDS. Find the section dealing with words beginning with
the letter of your target word. If you see guide words beginning with the letter E, then move a
few pages forward to the F section.
3.
Now, consider the second letter of your target word, in this case, U. You must move
along until you find guide words beginning with FU. Perhaps you will see "furrow/futtock" in
the upper left corner of the left page and "futtock plate/gaberlunzie" in the upper right corner
of the right page. Now you know that FUTILE is going to be located on one of these two
pages.
4.
Scan down the list of entry words moving alphabetically past FURRY and FUSE and
FUSS. Since your word begins with FUT, you must go past all the FUR and all the FUS
words alphabetically until you reach the FUT area of the page. In our example, you will need
to move right down through FUT and FUTHARK and this is at last, where you will find
FUTILE.
5.
Read the entry word and notice any near neighbors that might be related, such as
FUTILITY.
6.
Read the information given about this word. Depending on your dictionary, you might
find many things.
o
A definition of the word.
One or more pronunciations. Look for a pronunciation key near the beginning of
the dictionary to help you interpret the written pronunciation.
Synonyms and antonyms. You can use these in your writing, or as further clues
towards the word's meaning.
An etymology, derivation, or history of the word. Even if you don't know Latin or
Greek, you may find that this information helps you to remember or understand the word.
Examples or citations of how the word is used. Use these to add context to the
meaning of the word.
Derived terms and inflections (I am, you are).
Phrases or idioms associated with the word.
Activity (Online Dictionary Quiz): Students can go directly to this website to test their
knowledge on dictionaries:
http://library.thinkquest.org/5585/dictonaryquiz.htm
Activity (School Life Word Search Puzzle): Have the students complete the word search. Ask
them to look up the words they do not know as they go along.

Instructor should discuss with the students the need for them to write excuse notes when
their child misses school due to sickness or other reasons. They may also need to get
their childs missed homework assignment from the teacher.
Activity (School Phone Call): The students may occasionally need to call and talk to their
childs teacher. Role Play the following scenario which involves a call due to illness. Have one
student be the secretary, one student be Ms. Rodriguez, and one student be Miss Lawrence. Ask
them to underline words that they do not understand and look them up afterward. You may need
to read the script a second time for better comprehension.
Secretary: Good morning, Stones River Elementary School. May I help you?
Mrs. Rodriguez: Yes, this is Ms. Rodriguez, Anglicas mother. I would like to speak with
her teacher, Miss Lawrence.
Secretary: Yes maam, wait one moment.
Miss Lawrence: Yes, this is Miss Lawrence.
Mrs. Rodriguez: Hi, Miss Lawrence. This is Anglicas mother, Ms. Rodriguez. How are
you?
Miss Lawrence: Im fine. I noticed Anglicas not here today.
Mrs. Rodriguez: Yes, she is very sick with the flu. Is there any homework or tests that we
should know about?
Miss Lawrence: Yes, we will be having a test on Wednesday over our States and she needs to do
assignment three on page forty-five in her science book.
Mrs. Rodriguez: Okay, thank you. I will be by to pick up her book around 3:00pm today.
