Activity for my ACCESO STUDENTS.
You know I always tell you to read a lot in order to learn vocabulary. You know that I love surfing on the Internet to find links that can be useful for you and I came across with this web page where you can work vocabulary of different topics in context, through reading, listening and doing useful activities. I recommend you to explore it widely:

SNOW BY JULIA ALVAREZ
It snowed a little last Friday. Whenever I see the snow I can't help thinking about the snowy winter I spent in New England at Williams College in Williamstown. Apart from living among the snow for months I had the opportunity to read lots of books in my studies of ethnic literature of the minorities in the US.
Thanks to Judith, I came across the first book by Julia Alvarez: How the García Girls Lost their Accents, which was a pleasure to read. Especially that chapter entitled Snow, when Yolanda, the youngest sister discovers the snow in class while the Cold War and the fear of a third World War is in the air.
This is the link from the Internet:

I hope you like it as much as I do.
