The best of middle school teaching is "learning by doing" and is
interdisciplinary. This book ties it all together and offers a
complete, innovative program, from vision, through planning,
implementation, and assessment. The program is accomplished through
the collaboration of the school library media specialist and the
language arts teacher. Senator outlines ways in which they can
collaboratively plan, teach, and assess units which use language
arts as tools. She includes specific instructional programs,
suggestions for staff development, examples of questions,
organizers, and units for grades six through eight, ideas for
creating schedules, and methods of working together to develop
materials for instruction. This program reflects the restructuring
movement in American education. It emphasizes process as well as
content, uses authentic material, and stresses interdisciplinary
learning and learning by doing. The first part deals with
literature as a subject and offers many practical units for the
library media specialist and the language arts teacher to use in
collaboratively teaching students inquiry and a framework for
literature. Armed with these tools, students are able to read,
discuss, think, and write about more challenging and interesting
literature. Senator offers many ideas for "extending" literature
through creative dramatics, storytelling, booktalks, and book
shares. The second half of the book shows how to plan
interdisciplinary units so that students, through resource-based
learning, may learn to use new technologies and information
problem-solving. The work also includes some units for elementary
and secondary schools. Because of its innovative methods and
practicalideas it will be a boon to library media specialists,
language arts and English teachers, reading specialists, and
library schools and undergraduate and graduate schools of
education.
