Description

The "Main Street" web resource is an ESL toolkit for teachers. It features a local map with certain locations highlighted like a bank, a U.S. post office, a school, a library and a place of worship. Upon clicking each location, more information appears regarding that specific location. For example, clicking on the "bank" location brings up information about how to write a check, currency and coins and words to know.
