| Lesson Notes: This lesson targets limited English proficient students. An audio recording of The Little Prince was made and then put onto Panthernet. This recording helps LEP students better understand The Little Prince and also helps them to be successful in participating in their literature circles. The lesson incorporates a twist on a typical use of the Internet. Instead of using technology to communicate with masses of people, students use technology to successfully communicate with their small literature circle group. | |
