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.
