Gandhi mini biography template
In this ready-to-go biographical article and activity mini-unit about Gandhi, the Indian human rights leader, Beginner to Intermediate ESL students practice reading and responding to informational text. It can be used for an in-class activity, homework, or an emergency sub plan. I designed this product with upper-level elementary, middle school, and high school ESL students in mind because I often find resources that are appropriate for my students' language levels, but not their age levels. My goal is to create ESL materials that are appropriate for both. Included in this product are:
1. Gandhi biography (1.5 pages)
2. Vocabulary: Academic vocabulary (Tier 2 & 3 words) in bold print throughout reading. Vocabulary chart, adapted from Learner's Dictionary, at the end of the reading with definitions. Parts of speech and singular/plural nouns are also identified in the chart.
3. Spelling Practice: Students unscramble vocabulary words and write the correct spelling in sentence
