New speakers of English can access abstract economic concepts when they have the right tools. My project will employ a visually rich, leveled text to teach newcomers the academic vocabulary of Economics. They will interpret illustrations in "The Tortilla Factory" to better understand its text and the role of land, labor, and capital as "factors of production." This approach will engage students' visual literacy skills and work experience in restaurants and agriculture. Your donation for these beautifully illustrated books will help English language learners access the economics curriculum. The second text provides "info-graphics" for similar use throughout the year. Help me empower students by leveraging their strengths.
