Teaching Students Who Are Exceptional, Diverse, and… door Sharon Vaughn
Dry and way to many words. It's a very thick reference. The type font is far too small and is inconsistent throughout the book. It was not a compelling read, but I give it 3 stars because it has a lot of good information in it. It's just painful to read.
This easy-to-use guide is packed with all kinds of things you need to succeed in school. Like insider tips from other students on what works for them. Advice on using computers, the Internet, and email for school projects and research. Strategies that really work for taking notes, writing papers, following directions, setting goals, and much more. Straight talk on solving school problems. Plus charts, forms, and checklists you can copy and use all year long. Selected Reading Questionnaire.
This book gives practical advice to middle school students regarding organization of a study space, planning for long-term school assignments, and other study skills.
While this book is older and therefore a bit dated at times (e.g., references to PDA devices and an inspirational quote from Bill Cosby), the majority of its advice is still quite relevant. Being a good student hasn't changed terribly much because it's still about being clear in understanding what a teacher's expectations are and finding a path to meeting those goals. To that end, this book presents a variety of steps to take, from writing good notes to studying with a group of serious-minded students. Backmatter includes reproducibles of checklists, charts, book report guides, etc.
The only minor quibbles I have are in the section about reading. At one point the author describes the difference between fiction and nonfiction, which she does well until she writes "Even biographies -- narratives about real people -- can be fictional, if they include made-up stories about their subjects' lives." Biographies are nonfiction; what she's describing is essentially historical fiction. Saying that biographies can be fictional is a misleading statement.
In the same section, she also talks about reading for fun versus reading for school. While talking about reading for fun, she includes a long list of ways to engage with a text. Some of these are fine, such as thinking deeper about the characters and how they might react in certain situations. But then there are some like this one: "Make up three essay questions and answers that would be good for the end-of-the-book test." That's no longer reading for fun; that's an assignment. Please don't squash children's love of reading by making it a chore.
Overall though, this book could help out middle school students who need a little boost to get them organized about school, homework, and studying.… (meer)
