Unfortunately, I cannot find lesson plans for one or two student classrooms for ESL instruction. It is going to be used in a middle school classroom. I need about 20-25 minutes worth of activities to use during the class period.

Also, I’m looking for a low intermediate lesson plan that is designed for a one or two student classroom for an elementary classroom, which will be used for about 25-30 minutes.

I’m a college student, but I’ve never worked other than doing volunteers and I’ve been very dependant on my parents. I’m going to start working but I also want to develop financial literacy. What are the good ways in your guys’ opinion? Any websites?
