Welcome to Mice In The Classroom! This blog offers examples of curriculum for students K-12 who use English as a second language (ESL) and English as a first language (EFL). Lessons are primarily prepared for Intermediate Level learners and are used as part of one-on-one tutoring and small group sessions. The quiz below is only one example of reading exercises and comprehension questions for both ESL/EFL students. If you wish to shedule tutoring sessions or if you have lesson plan ideas to share, please contact me by leaving your email address and a brief message in the "comments" area at the bottom of this posting. Learning is a wonderful experience and with the internet, the process is only a "mice" click away.

About Me
- Maurice Oliver - Editor
- I spent much of the 1980s working as a freelance photographer in Europe and returned to America in 1990. Then in 1995, I made a life-long dream come true when I traveled around the world for eight glorious months. Instead of taking pictures on the trip, I kept a journal, which led to what I feel is my "true calling", writing poetry. My poems have appeared in both national and international literary print magazines and in numerous literary websites but I still peddle my time as a private tutor, which is not half as bad as it sounds. In fact, I no longer want to live on icebergs, which is a good thing since they seem to be disappearing.
