      Submitted by Sally Trowbridge on 19 December, 2011 - 12:40

      Someone made a comment, asking for MP3 files too with these lesson plans, but I like them just as they are, they stimulate conversation and that is what I like about them, I want people to talk more than listen, to listen we have their books with the audio activities there after all!! Thanks for some very helpful conversation stimulus. Eileen
