Teaching with film is not a new approach in the social studies
classroom. Different publications, such as Hollywood or History,
have bridged the gap with challenges attached to using historical
film and engage students through inquiry, not entertainment. To
continue with the Hollywood or History strategy, this text uses
television shows (sitcoms) to brings issue-centered curriculum to
middle and high school classrooms. By exploring issues in specific
episodes, students can learn the history behind an issue, relate it
to their lives, and develop an informed decision associated with
the issue. The College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) framework is an
integral part to the exploration of issue-centered curriculum. In
each chapter, the students will work through the four dimensions
and develop critical thinking, reading, and writing skills. My hope
is that this text can play a small role in walking practicing
teachers through the C3 framework while allowing students to learn
about issues that affect society and the communities where they
live.
An eclectic traditional reader for grades one and two. The Reader
for a New Century series of textbooks are written with the home
school and private school in mind. The student not only learns to
read, but also learns basic morality through reading the text.
Where's My Wine Glass?!, Getting Your Kid to College Without Losing
Your Mind is a frolicking collection of humorous essays for parents
of children who are prepping for, leaving for, or attending
college. As a long-time college coach, private tutor, and parent of
two failure-to-launch college graduates, Linda Presto's sarcastic
voice, no-nonsense tone, and years of experience deliver a
much-needed respite from the insanity and competition of acceptance
to college. Parents in this stage need a laugh and some straight
talk about the process and its pitfalls. Linda is a
self-deprecating, yet knowledgeable narrator, who takes parents on
a journey through the highlight reel of what they hope will end in
smarter kids... and less laundry. Addressing subjects like college
visits, university rankings, and empty nest syndrome, Linda's
personal accounts and anecdotes from years of working with students
and parents shed light on the universal nature of rearing children
and the parents who only want the best for them. That and they want
them off their couch!
