Hi Marsha,

What comes immediately to mind is a lesson that one of our Tennessee 
practitioners has written and used titled "Diagnosing a car non-starting 
problem." We are trying to get it ready to include in the Learning 
Activities Bank, and although a lot of work has been done on it since it 
was submitted to the LAB, we aren't ready to sign off on it yet and put it 
in. I'm happy to share it with you "as is" and would appreciate any 
feedback you'd like to share on it. The lesson has actually been published 
on the web, but the address hasn't been made available in the LAB. Also, 
the links in the lesson to the attachments are not correct as published, 
but the attachments are necessary to teach the curriculum.  Links to the 
five attachments are as follows:
ftp://hub2.coe.utk.edu/pub/labfiles/50botg_h1.doc
ftp://hub2.coe.utk.edu/pub/labfiles/50botg_h2.ppt
ftp://hub2.coe.utk.edu/pub/labfiles/50botg_h3.ppt
ftp://hub2.coe.utk.edu/pub/labfiles/50botg_h4.ppt
ftp://hub2.coe.utk.edu/pub/labfiles/50botg_h5.doc

The URL for the lesson is

http://slincs.coe.utk.edu/gtelab/learning_activities/50botg.html

These (following) sites are, as you say, user-friendly and written at 
literacy levels that would be useful for some of our audiences. See what
