This unit is designed to help low literacy students express their feelings living in a new country, and at the same time learn basic school skills. Students with little or no prior education need to learn the concept of “school” which includes organizing papers in a binder or folder, working individually and in groups, comprehending oral directions, asking and answering questions, brainstorming, building vocabulary, acting, guessing, presenting, reading and listening to oneself read, typing, using a computer, and experiencing the writing process.
