ELL Benefits: This web site allows all students to use skills of observation and writing to compare and contrast different kinds of flowers. If students are not familiar with the structures of a flower and their functions, there is a link to another web site that students can explore to learn this information. The site is available in English and Spanish. For the ELL student who did not learn about flowers in their native language, this could be useful to introduce new content and vocabulary. The web site appears to be at 9-10th grade level.
