to be followed necessarily in this sequence. Teach and review grammar forms as
necessary, or make a note of what is needed for later work. Take the time to
follow conversations. For example, "What do you cook?" could lead to a

2. Reading: "Hanan's Journal"
Hanan's journal entry (page 41) may be
useful in encouraging women to discuss and write about their own experiences.
3. Writing
* After reading Hanan's journal entry, ask learners to respond
to what she has written. Some questions to consider, to help bridge Hanan's
experience to those of the learners:
- What tasks do you do in Canada that you didn't do before?
- How did you learn to do this new work?
- How do you feel about these changes?
* If learners are willing to share their writing, the discussion
about it may lead naturally into the next topic. |
