A New World

Maria Rosaria Sorrentino

​

​

I’m a Middle School English teacher and my desire is to help my students see things from a different point of view.

The arrival of new students from foreign countries is frequent in our reality. These children don’t speak the local language and without communication there is no relationship, consequently, they become transparent!

This ebook contains only the first chapter created by Maria Rosaria Sorrentino thanks to Evo 2016 “Crafting the Eperfect text book.
