ESL/ELL Lesson Resource: African Animal Unit

Do you use The Oxford Picture Dictionary for Kids with your ESL/ELL students?

I recently found a great companion book to go with the "I'm in Africa" African animals unit. It is the picture book What the Animals Were Waiting For by Jonathan London.





The illustrations are beautiful, and this picture book is the perfect complement to an African animal unit.

To give a little more insight into the value of these resources, here is a target vocabulary comparison:

I hope you find this book helpful too!

  3. I do think it’s worth distinguishing different dimensions of quality in writing, since the EFL/ESL distinction works quite differently in them.
