			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Karenne Sylvester has come-up with a great and creative idea for the next ESL/EFL/ELL Blog Carnival on April 1st.  It&#8217;s going to have a theme focused on teachers sharing lesson ideas.</p>
<p>You can read all about it at her post, <a href="http://kalinago.blogspot.com/2010/02/carnival-of-english-language-lessons.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&#038;utm_medium=twitter">The Carnival of English Language Lessons</a>.</p>
<p>She&#8217;s encouraging bloggers and non-bloggers alike to participate, and has created a special submission form to use, which you can access at her post.  So please don&#8217;t use the regular system at the blogcarnival site.  Submissions are due by March 21st.</p>
<p>It should be a fun and useful Carnival.</p>
<p>In case you missed it,<a href="http://teacherbootcamp.edublogs.org/2010/02/02/fifteenth-edition-of-the-esleflell-carnival/"> Shelly Terrell posted the most recent Carnival last week</a>.
