Thanks to TCDSB for your generosity in sharing these materials! CLB 3 students enjoyed this goal-setting resource and found it easy to use. This essay module plan was recommended for higher levels, with clear examples for 5-paragraph essays. The Multilevel Receptive Assessment Tools collection from Red River College is popular given its guidance on how to create templates for writing questions for the receptive skills.
