Here is a lesson plan on using the predicate pronoun. I open this lesson with this Everyday Edit worksheet on Anne Frank (and you can help yourself to a yearlong supply of these worksheets courtesy of the good people at Education World).

April is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, so for the next 30 days I’ll post a plethora of materials related to the history of Asia and Asians in global history.
