Junior High ESL Adventures

I don't know who picks the topics in the "English as a Second Language" book we use for our reading curriculum at my school.  Whoever it was, I have some suggestions for articles they should take out for the next edition.

While zits are in fact an appropriate topic for my junior high students, it makes class discussions a bit awkward.  Especially when they ask me to help them translate the meaning of the sentence:  "As the levels of hormones in teen' bodies change. . ."


And if you don't think that is bad check out what the topic is for next week's class.

Did I mention I'm teaching this to a class of 12 and 13 year olds, predominately boys?  Should be interesting!
