Following on from requests for more assembly ideas Andrew has come
up with 'Assembly Tomorrow'. This book features a mix of age
appropriate stories (moral, multicultural, bible and fables) and
provides all the stimulus material needed for 30 assemblies. Some
of the stories are illustrated with silhouettes; these can be
photocopied to enable the headteacher/presenter to present the
story using an overhead projector. Other stories have simple
illustrations that can be copied on to acetate and used as a focal
point for the assembly. The assemblies are organised
chronologically in seasonal themes and the teacher's notes provide
additional background information. This assembly book is designed
to make head teachers' lives easier and to help them overcome the
'headache' of coming up with new and original assembly ideas!

book include cut-out silhouettes, lively illustrations and a host
of other visual materials that can be photocopied on to acetate and
used as a focal point. Themed according to school terms, these two
books will prove an essential buy for any school looking to liven
up their assemblies!

In Hands on the Freedom Plow, fifty-two women--northern and
southern, young and old, urban and rural, black, white, and
Latina--share their courageous personal stories of working for the
Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) on the front lines
of the Civil Rights Movement. The testimonies gathered here present
a sweeping personal history of SNCC: early sit-ins, voter
registration campaigns, and freedom rides; the 1963 March on
Washington, the Mississippi Freedom Summer, and the movements in
Alabama and Maryland; and Black Power and antiwar activism. Since
the women spent time in the Deep South, many also describe risking
their lives through beatings and arrests and witnessing unspeakable
violence. These intense stories depict women, many very young,
dealing with extreme fear and finding the remarkable strength to
survive. The women in SNCC acquired new skills, experienced
personal growth, sustained one another, and even had fun in the
midst of serious struggle. Readers are privy to their analyses of
the Movement, its tactics, strategies, and underlying philosophies.
The contributors revisit central debates of the struggle including
the role of nonviolence and self-defense, the role of white people
in a black-led movement, and the role of women within the Movement
and the society at large. Each story reveals how the struggle for
social change was formed, supported, and maintained by the women
who kept their "hands on the freedom plow." As the editors write in
the introduction, "Though the voices are different, they all tell
the same story--of women bursting out of constraints, leaving
school, leaving their hometowns, meeting new people, talking into
the night, laughing, going to jail, being afraid, teaching in
Freedom Schools, working in the field, dancing at the Elks Hall,
working the WATS line to relay horror story after horror story,
telling the press, telling the story, telling the word. And making
a difference in this world."
Each book features festivals of all the major religions (Christian,
Jewish, Sikh, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu and Chinese) as they occur in
chronological order throughout the school year, providing
background information and pupil materials to reflect the
traditions and celebrations.The photocopiable activities are
suitable for assemblies (on an OHP) or as a classroom resource.
They require minimal preparation and would be ideal for use by
classroom assistants, supply teachers and after school clubs. They
would also make a useful addition to the school's RE programme.
This series, like Supporting Literacy, builds on Andres Brodie's
aptitude for making things really straightforward for less able
pupils. Teachers need materials that are suitable for the
increasing number of lower ability children in the mainstream
classroom. These children who need 'additional' or 'different' help
(roughly one in six children fall into this category), are often
supervised by classroom assistants. National Test results indicate
that children, especially boys, are struggling with their writing.
'One in five children who enter secondary school are officially
behind in reading and writing.' Inspectors also reported on the
continuing gap between girls and boys, which they say is
particularly pronounced in writing. All activities are linked to
the new Literacy framework through a process of 'tracking back' and
are intended to help lower ability pupils make progress in order to
catch up with their year group. Each learning objective is
addressed by one or more pages and each page will include notes for
teachers enabling anyone using the sheet to see its purpose
immediately. Recording and monitoring pupil's progress are integral
to all books.
Christmas Maths provides a wealth of fun activities with a
Christmas theme. Each photocopiable worksheet is matched to the
Numeracy Strategy and compatible with the Scottish 5-14 Guidelines.
This series is designed for busy teachers in the late Autumn term
who are desperate for materials that are relevant and interesting
and that can be completed with minimun supervision. All the
activities are suitable for use by class teachers, supply teachers,
SEN teachers and classroom assistants and cover topics such as 'How
many partridges did the true love give all together?' and 'Filling
a sleigh with presents by rolling a dice!'. Children will have lots
of fun working through the Christmas Maths themes but also gain
valuable skills along the way.
The six books in this series provide a range of worksheets, display
materials and teachers' notes designed to help teachers deliver the
reading element of the Literacy Strategy. They cover an extensive
range of text genres ranging from Myths and fables to evaluating
press releases! Each activity can be used for individual or shared
reading and provides excellent practice for the National Tests. The
exercises are differentiated allowing teachers to meet pupils'
individual needs.

This series builds on Andrew's aptitude for making things really
straight forward for less able pupils. It offers a systematic
approach to spelling from the starting point of synthetic phonics
through to the observation of phonic patterns in more complex
words. Some of the children using this series will be working a
year, or even two years behind their year group but the activities
still need to be relevant, interesting and enable pupils to catch
up with their peers. Repetition and practice are key features of
the 'Supporting' series and every target in these books will have
an introductory display page, focusing on a particular phoneme,
followed by an activity page. All the books include 'target' record
sheets showing NC objectives, templates for indiviual education
plans, and progress charts to track achievement.
This series features all the words in the Literacy Strategy
spelling bank for KS1 and KS2. Even the contents pages are
extremely useful to teachers as they offer an entire spelling
programme to save teachers hunting for words with the same letter
patterns. Each set of words is presented across three pages - an
activity sheet, a practice sheet and the third is a 'Look, learn,
cover, write, check' page. The pages follow a pattern that is
clearly set out and easy to use. They make ideal practice sheets
for spelling homework
With READING TO LEARN IN THE CONTENT AREAS, Eighth Edition, future
educators discover how they can teach students to use reading,
discussion, and writing as vehicles for learning in any discipline.
The book explores how the increased availability of computers,
instructional software, social media, and Internet resources--as
well as the rise of electronic literacy in general--have affected
the ways children learn and create meaning from their world. The
authors’ unique lesson framework for instruction, PAR
(Preparation/Assistance/Reflection), extends throughout the book. A
reader-friendly presentation, balanced approach, strong research
base, and inclusion of real-life examples from a variety of subject
areas and grade levels have helped make this resource one of the
most popular and effective books on the market.
