[EnglishLanguage 5308] Re: ISO ESOL adult lit resources for teachingabout the census

Hillary,

The National Institute for Literacy's LINCS English
Language Acquisition (ELA)Collection has a couple of resources for teaching
Civics.  Their reference
lists may be able to direct you to information on teaching the census. The link
to this page is:

http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/resourcecollections/RC_workforce.html

Also CAELA has a resource (a CAELA Brief) English Literacy and Civics
Education.  It has also been reviewed and approved by
experts but has not been posted to the ELA Collection.  The resource
list is really good. The link to this page is 
http://www.cal.org/caela/esl_resources/briefs/elcivics.html  

The US Civics and Citizenship Online: Curriuclum and Lesson Planning Tools
(uscis.gov) is also a good resource, but I think this has already been posted.

Hope this is helpful.
