worked so well? Is there a particular lesson you have taught that
you wished you could tell everyone about but youÕre not ready
to present? Do you have a lesson or an activity that you like well
enough to share simply to see what innovations other teachers have
come up with?
Bring it to Swap Shop and take home fresh ideas!
Start planning NOW to contribute ONE of your lesson plans to the
Swap Shop. This can be a fun activity that you have developed, or
it could be a lesson plan that other teachers might adapt to their
classrooms.

and bring it to the Three Rivers TESOL conference. When you arrive,
