The Teachers' Corner in this issue is dedicated to the memory of educator Tippy Schwabe, TESOL inspiration and a member of our Editorial Board. Have you been watching the news about the volcano in Hawaii? Read about it on page 1 of our June issue. What is a volcano? Who is Pele? What is the history of Hawaii? We have also included information on the Hawaiian language. It is the 50th anniversary of the death of Robert Kennedy in June. A professor from Mexico writes an opinion about migration. Our readers write about Father's Day, a classroom activity, and differences between home countries and the USA, among other topics. Several students from library literacy programs submitted stories. One story was a tribute to a neighbor who helped her daughter; another story was about journal writing and reacting to poems by Langston Hughes. People at work is an ESL success story. The "Compelling Conversation" activity is about cars. Citizenship is about Flag Day and we publish the Star Spangled Banner (it has many challenging new words for ESL and literacy students). A movie review is about "Marshall," a film on Thurgood Marshall. Another citizenship story is about the Supreme Court. There are many instant activities in this issue. All this and more in our June issue…
