Hi,

I'm teaching very beginning native speaker literacy (primarily less than 3rd
grade reading).  I'm looking for websites, virtual reality tours, etc. with
lots of pictures and appropriate reading levels.

One exercise that was very well-received took us to a site of live web cams.
The Word worksheet sent students to the South Pole, Hong Kong, Paris, and
Lake Tahoe. They used basic web handling, shifting between documents, and
map reading.  We spent about 3 days on it and plan to do it again, per
requests of the class.

I'd appreciate any suggestions anyone might have.

Thanks.
