A great suggestion. Getting across "dichlordisomethingmethane" must be a nightmare in an ESL class, though.

Megan,

I would also suggest "The Room," but I think "The Ballad of Longwood Glen" would probably be the best for that purpose. The Russian poems of "Poems and Problems" have their English counterparts right there next to them, too.
