Thanks to those of you who made my workshop at TESOL so successful! I hope you can use these resources in your own classes. Please let me know how and what is working, not working, you amended, etc. I am always on the prowl for new means of teaching and helping students with paraphrasing and summarizing!
If you have ANY questions or concerns, please email me superteach@cristinanderic.com.
If you did attend the whole presentation, please start with the PowerPoint. A fundamental part of success with these resources is understanding the underlying philosopy!
Thanks! Cristin
