Dave replied to Dave's discussion 'What do essential questions look like?'

Thank you so much everyone! I definitely have a better feel for how essential questions work. I've been able to brainstorm a few and included a few here. Feel free to tell me if I am way off base. What does it mean to be an “Outsider”? What makes…

Eileen Zygarlicke replied to Judith Newman's discussion 'Opportunites for student publication' in the group Teaching Writing

Judith-- One opportunity is Teen Ink (http://www.teenink.com). This is a publication for teens only, ages 13-19, to submit and publish their work. The one draw back I found is that once accepted, Teen Ink keeps all rights to the work. This means ki…

Andy Esquivel Jr. commented on Bill Maniotis's blog post 'Teaching the ten commandments'

Bill, You have it wrong. I didn't say the theory has not had wide influence. I never said anything like that. I agree that it has had wide influence. What I said was I've never heard of teachers labeling themselves as constructivists or nonconstruct…

The Ugly Truth That's Black and White

The Ugly Truth is that my number one goal for my students right now has to be to raise their 2010 standardized test scores. I find it disturbing, off-base, heart-wrenching, and almost something shameful to admit. However, NCLB has my entire school'…

The Great Depression novels

I am in search of a novel set during the Great Depression/Dust Bowl era. It will be used in a 10th grade history class; most of the students are struggling readers. The teacher would like to stay away from the "big name classics." He wants something…

Yay Doug! He was one of my teachers in pre-teaching grad school (itp.nyu.edu), and I'm a huge fan of his work. Thanks for posting this, Frank. I'm really excited to see what these guys have come up with this time.

Opportunites for student publication

I am looking for opportunities for high school students to publish their writing. I am in VT. We are part of the NWP and can certainly offer that to our students. I know about the Mountain Review, but I would really appreciate other venues where stu…

Hamilton Salsich commented on Hamilton Salsich's blog post 'TEENAGERS AND SPRING ICE'

Oh, a marvelous poem, Carol -- by one of my favorite poets. In graduate school far back in the 60's, I took a creative writing class from Bly at the University of Kansas, and have never forgotten it. Thanks for the connection.

Eileen Williams commented on Hamilton Salsich's blog post 'TEENAGERS AND SPRING ICE'

I actually do have a plan (I also have a yearly book filled with objectives). I just can't say I have a detailed plan. I found it easier to plan for 90 minute block lessons than the 45 minutes we have at this school which makes me feel like I am in…

Oh I do! I just had a tutorial with a final year student, who thank me for introducing her to philosophy. It's just that the rest of it sucks up so much time.

Bill Maniotis commented on Bill Maniotis's blog post 'Teaching the ten commandments'

Andy, The fact that you have not heard of it doesn't mean the theory has not had a wide influence. Nearly every school of education in America now promotes "constructivist" ideas, and it is why many of our student teachers are not receiving some of…

How about this for a poetic connection to your posting, Hamilton? Gratitude to Old Teachers by Robert Bly When we stride or stroll across the frozen lake, We place our feet where they have never been. We walk upon the unwalked. But we are uneasy.…

I really think that PDFs kick SOOO much butt compared to .mobi Kindle Books or any other text with DRMs.

... and xboxes can make lovely computers if you know how to hack them. But that's also illegal. ;) My husband has a bebook, which will read PDFs and some other formats... I don't know if it does text files or not.
