Workshop models and professional books provide them with frameworks and examples, but few effectively prepare them for students who are acquiring English, especially newcomers, SLIFEs, and L-TELs. This book is for 4th through 12th grade English Language Arts teachers and coordinators who are responsible for the education of multilingual learners. It is organized around widely-used teaching methodologies and contains explicit guidance for research-based strategies focused on the needs of English Learners. It includes an original unit planning guide, examples of the authors' practices, student profiles, and inquiry units in the form of curriculum that can be used throughout the school year"--

It's all a grand adventure when English Christy Mansel unexpectedly runs into her cousin Charles in Damascus. And being young, rich, impetuous, and used to doing whatever they please, they decide to barge in uninvited on their eccentric Great-Aunt Harriet—despite a long-standing family rule strictly forbidding unannounced visits. Because when the Gabriel hounds run howling over the crumbling palace of Der Ibrahim in the Lebanon, someone will shortly die. A strange new world awaits Charles and Christy beyond the gates of Dar Ibrahim—"Lady Harriet's" ancient, crumbling palace in High Lebanon—where a physician is always in residence and a handful of Arab servants attends to the odd old woman's every need. But there is a very good—very sinister—reason why guests are not welcome at Dar Ibrahim. And the young cousins are about to discover that, as difficult as it is to break into the dark, imposing edifice, it may prove even harder still to escape.
