Okay, you know that you have to integrate Civics content with English language skills development. You've read NCLE's Q & A on Civics Education for Adult English Language Learners http://www.cal.org/ncle/DIGESTS/civics.htm. You understand the background information and you have a few ideas on what you might do with your learners, but you need more. You'd like some very specific information on activities you can do tomorrow in class. Better yet, you would like some ideas to use that would be relevant this month, African-American History Month. What do you do? Try this: 1. Read NCLE's FAQ # 13 http://www.cal.org/ncle/faqs.htm#Thirteen and find out generally how to integrate language development with Civics content. 2. From there, link to http://www.cal.org/ncle/civics/ for specific activities. For activities that Use Music go to http://www.cal.org/ncle/civics/music.htm For activities for African-American History Month, check out http://www.cal.org/ncle/civics/AAmon.htm 3. After you have read and downloaded these collections as appropriate, it would be great if you would tell us what you think about them specifically and the NCLE Website in general. Please take a moment to fill in the NCLE Comment Card, which is also new on our Website. Its address is http://www.cal.org/ncle/comments/ 4. Periodically check the NCLE homepage http://www.cal.org/ncle/ to see if we have updated and added new collections to the Civics Resources Compilation. In the works: Using project-based learning with Civics content.
