This is a collection of short stories (and jokes) for kids.
Most of them are packed with exercises (both grammar and vocabulary), so you might find them useful for your classroom.
The ten teachers/authors who participate in this book are part of the Nebraska Writing Project's Rural Voices, Country Schools program. This program enables these teachers to discuss their experiences in teaching in rural school districts. While the book primarily focuses on K-12th grade studies, there are some passages pertaining to Undergraduate studies as well. The book is broken into three sections: Place-Conscious Writing and Active Learning/ Place-Conscious Writing and Local Knowledge/ and Place-Conscious Writing and Regional Citizenship. The primary focus of "Rural Voices" is the study of "place-conscious education," which was formed by former teachers, critics, and reformers, such as, Theobald, Berry, Critchfield, Gruchow, Jackson, Dewey, Goodlad, Fullan and Olson. These predecessors are referenced throughout the book, however, it is this constant referencing, that at times, keeps the reader distanced from the current groups' immediate project.
(Jo's review at Amazon )
This book, written by two nationally renowned scholars in the area of
ethics in higher education, is intended to help teachers and
administrators understand and handle problems of academic dishonesty.
Chock-full of practical advice, the book is divided into three parts.
Part I reviews the existing published literature about academic
dishonesty among college and university students and how faculty
members respond to the problem. Part II presents practical advice
designed to help college and university instructors and administrators
deal proactively and effectively with academic dishonesty. Part III
considers the broader question of academic integrity as a system-wide
issue within institutions of higher education.
NCTE’s Assembly for the Teaching of English Grammar
provides this much-needed resource for K–college teachers who wonder
what to do about grammar—how to teach it, how to apply it, how to learn
what they themselves were never taught. Grammar Alive! offers
teachers ways to negotiate the often conflicting goals of testing,
confident writing, the culturally inclusive classroom, and the teaching
of Standard English while also honoring other varieties of English.
This hands-on approach to grammar in the classroom includes numerous
examples and practical vignettes describing real teachers’ real
classroom experiences with specific grammar lessons—including ESL
issues—as well as a review of grammar basics.
