Dear Teacher
Please give each student in your class who wants free English Lessons the list of “Continue our learning” tips. They can start writing to me and “participating virtually” in my classes. I have included some DVDs that I give to my students in my classes. The topics are interesting to me and I hope that the students will talk about them when they are in my class and when they introduce themselves by email.
FOR EXAMPLE
Your student could write:
Hi Steve,
I just saw the “Brain DVD” in tracks 3 and 4 and it is crazy. I didn’t know that there were two types of brains. I have a funny story to tell you….
(tell the story)
I look forward to meeting your students by email and on Facdebook and in person (I hope). If the students don’t plan to study in Florida, they are still invited to join the English Visiting Network (point 9 on the list above)
Best wishes,
Steve
