The late, great Ray McNair (Civil Rights era activist) asked my students and I to create a basic English course for the gentlemen who wait by the Home Depot in hopes of getting daily work. My students enjoyed the task, because it was for "a real audience". Because they were English learners themselves, they knew EXACTLY what those gentlemen needed in terms of language assistance! Click below to see the final product. (Also there is a link to Dr. MacNair's obituary, honoring him for his life-long work.)
Here is a photo of my students learning more about the needs and nature of migrant workers from Dr. Sergio Quesada, anthropologist at UGA.
