My review:
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book really features the twenty innovative and easy-to-make learning tools that reinforce key concepts learned in class.
It also includes a CD with 3-D graphic organizers and you can customize all material. In my opinion, this is one of the most interesting points, because it helps us, teachers, saving time when preparing lesson plans.
The 3-D Graphic Organizers help teachers and students, because they are not too complicated (most of them need only scissors and tape to construct and a pen or pencil to complete). Simple and few additional commom items are required as: double-sided tape, stapler, string, colored markers, brads, hole punch, straightedge, photocopy of the templates).
If you want to costumize and save files on the CD, you will need to use Adobe Reader, version 7.0 or higher. All the projects in this book are divided across the content areas - reading and language arts, social studies, math, and science. At page 9, you will find an "assessment rubric" as well.
Every sample project page brings these features:
- objectives;
- time required;
- materials;
- introduction;
- what-to-do;
- extend
- ways to use across the curriculum and
- how-to-construct.
Motivation not only for students but for teachers too!
Fabulous! I recommend this book for those teachers who want to help their students build important and independent skills.
Five Stars!
