World War I and II in ESL

Post by sara costa » Thu May 15, 2003 5:34 pm

Could anyone guide me in the right direction to find materials to teach about World War I and II to a group of ESL 8th graders? I know Anna Uhl Chamot had a series called Language Development Through Content in the area of History. Were World Wars included?
Thanks for your help.
