Fathers Day is the third Sunday of June, and I thought it would be a good topic for a short The Best list.
Here are my choices for The Best Fathers Day Sites" (that are accessible to English Language Learners):
EL Civics has a Fathers Day Lesson designed specifically for ELLs.
Apples for the Teacher has a short and simple description of the holidays history.
|
The Orange County Register has an interactive quiz about Fathers Day.
Fact Monster shares a lot of interesting statistics about fathers from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Here is a variety of accessible information on Fathers Day.
Heads Up English has a good list of questions to ask in class that are related to Fathers Day.
You can write and send Fathers Day E-Cards at Blue Mountain and American Greetings. Both appear to host the cards indefinitely, so the url address can be posted on a student/teacher blog or website.
