----- Original Message ----- From: Vivienne Tankus - vtankus@xxxxxxxxx Subject: curriculum ideas wanted Dear Colleagues, I have been engaged to teach Grades 4 & 5, Dovrei Anglit. I am a veteran teacher, originally from England. I have taught in the elementary stream both in Canada and the U.S.A., including second language studies, French Immersion to be exact. I have also substitued for Dovrei Anglit teachers here in Israel. Being relatively new to Israel, I am unfamiliar with the specific expectations of the programme, other than the obvious, namely to refine, hone and improve the existing English skills. If anyone would be kind enough to share ideas, curriculum, even lesson plans, I would be most grateful. I do not intend to copy anyone's existing plans, just to see the possible benchmarks on which to build the foundation. I am expected to produce the year's outlines for both classes this week, preferably tomorrow. (Of course, I have requested an extension!) Thank you in anticipation.
