New Dual Language Book Available
In collaboration with several multilingual learner (ML) teachers across the state, the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) has created a new free supplemental resource for grade school teachers working with students learning English and Spanish. “Plott’s Tales and Trails: Aventuras with Carolina” is the fictional story of two friends exploring North Carolina and helping each other learn. The characters visit four public DNCR locations and explore the diverse peoples, histories, animals, and plants at each. The book emphasizes the importance and benefits of being a multilingual learner and includes activities to reinforce what students are learning in the classroom.
Free copies of the book are available for ML teachers. Please visit the DNCR Plott's Tales website for more information and to request copies.
