Who Really Discovered America: Unraveling the Mystery & Solving
the Puzzle Author: Hart, Avery Kline, Michael P. (Illustrator) Kline, Michael P. ISBN: 1-885593-46-5 LCCN: 00043944 Dewey: 970.01/076 21 Number: |
Paperback Williamson Publishing Company
From School Library Journal Gr 5-7-A lively guide that teaches how to
investigate history while it explores and explains various theories about the
discovery of America. Short sound bites of information are grouped in loosely
organized chapters that illuminate 10 theories about the "discovery" of America,
e.g., the Land-Bridge Theory, the Multiple-Migration Theory, the Woden-lithi
Theory, etc. But hard facts are only half the story here. Interspersed are a
hodgepodge of ideas, suggestions, and projects that invite readers to think,
question, search, and uncover the truth for themselves. Exercises and activities
cover general topics-friendly versus unfriendly ways to disagree, the place of
"wild" ideas in research-as well as specific ones-making maps, plaster-casting
footprints, and more. Hart and Mantell often remind students of the importance
of remaining fair and open-minded. Ultimately, they leave it up to readers to
use the techniques in the book to decide which of the theories seems most likely
to be true "for now." A final reminder notes that the question of who really
discovered America will remain open in the future since "new information is
always being uncovered." The volume has a workbook look with oversized pages
bordered in black and gray designs and illustrations consisting of
black-and-white cartoons, sketches, maps, and photographs. A useful and
thought-provoking tool. Susan L. Rogers, Chestnut Hill Academy, PA Copyright

Westward Ho!: An Activity Guide to the Wild West Author: Carlson, Laurie ISBN: 1-55652-271-1 LCCN: 96010841 Dewey: 978/.02 20 Number: |
Paperback Chicago Review Press
From School Library Journal Grade 3-6-This unique book brings to life the
days of the Old West. Crafts, recipes, songs, and games teamed with an engaging
text will have young readers convinced that they're just having fun. The book is
organized by the major waves of western movement, from the early explorers in
1804 to the trail drives of the 1880s. Carlson's clear and concise writing
includes amusing stories and bits of trivia that will keep kids interested. Each
chapter is packed with projects that will give them a taste of daily life.
Students might construct field books like those used by Lewis and Clark, or they
might make root beer like the settlers. Each activity includes easy-to-follow
instructions and informative line drawings. A book that will be heavily used by
teachers in the classroom and by children at home. Paula A. Kiely, Milwaukee
Public Library, Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist Gr.
4^-6. Carlson gives a brief history of the North American westward movement as a
framework for introducing more than 50 appropriate activities, which are
presented chronologically and thematically and include projects involving
exploration, fur trading, the gold rush, homesteading, and cowboys. Activities
range from the very simple (making notepaper decorated with an Appaloosa motif)
to the complex (hooking a rag rug); most have very clear directions. A few ideas
(panning for gold) will be impractical for most readers; some (Lewis and Clark's
journal and field book, a trapper's journal, and a young girl's travel diary)
are repetitive; but most (especially the recipes for portable soup and root beer
and the explanations of measuring land for townships and homesteads) will be of
interest. Black line drawings and frequent sidebars help break up the text and
further clarify the instructions. Although not a first choice, this will be
useful for American history studies. Kay Weisman

The United States Constitution: What It Says, What It Means: A Hip
Pocket Guide Author: JusticeLearning.org Org, Justicelearning org, JusticeLearning. Justicelearning Eisenhower, David ISBN: 0-19-530443-8 LCCN: 2005012362 Dewey: 342.7302 22 Number: |
Paperback Oxford University Press
Product Description Affordable, readable, and indispensable,The United States
Constitution: What it Says, What it Means allows you to put the most important
document in American history in your back pocket. In conjunction with Justice
Learning and The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands and with an
introduction written by Caroline Kennedy and an afterword written by David
Eisenhower, this pocket guide appeals to the broadest possible audience. Each
Article and each Amendment is followed by a clear and concise explanation, in
plain English, that is suitable for both middle and high school students. On
December 8, 2004 President Bush officially signed Constitution Day into law. The
law mandates that each year, on September 17th, schools and colleges that
receive federal money are required to teach the Constitution. The new law was
championed in Congress by Sen. Robert Byrd who famously carries around a copy of
the document in his pocket. Sen. Byrd became increasingly alarmed at the lack of
civics education-specifically relating to the Constitution-in our public schools
and he wanted to take action. Lightweight, easy to use and easy for everyone to
understand The United States Constitution: What it Says, What it Means is an
excellent way for students and citizens of all ages to read and completely
comprehend the building block of American democracy. Justice Learning
(www.justicelearning.org), is a comprehensive on-line resource that offers
wide-ranging non-partisan materials relating to civics education.

Paperback Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development
Book Description During the technology boom of the 1980s and 1990s, computers
seemed set to revolutionize education. Do any of these promises sound familiar?
-Technology would help all students learn better, thanks to multimedia programs
capable of adapting to individual needs, learning styles, and skill levels.
-Technology would transform the teacher's role from a purveyor of a
one-size-fits-all curriculum to a facilitator of student exploration.
-Technology would replace static textbooks with dynamic, interactive learning
resources that were always up-to-date. -Technology would boost test scores, as
engaged and motivated students acquired advanced skills, problem-solving
abilities, and a growing thirst for knowledge. By 2001, educational materials
developer William D. Pflaum had begun to suspect that technology was not the
all-purpose solution it had seemed. He decided to see how computers were really
being used in U.S. classrooms and embarked on a yearlong road trip to a
cross-section of elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the nation. In
this book, he recounts his journey. Although he did find technology application
to admire, too often he found broken promises: millions spent for little
measurable gain, problems instead of solutions, a fix instead of a fix. This
inside look at computer use in our schools shares the voices, experiences,
triumphs, and frustrations of educators and students in urban, rural, and
suburban settings. The author provides insight into the key roles that computers
currently play in the classroom and clarifies what we must do ensure that the
promise of technology is fulfilled . . . and that students truly benefit.

| Southwest Indian Designs: With Some Explanations Author: Bahti, Mark Tomas ISBN: 0-918080-98-3 LCCN: Dewey: Number: |
Paperback Gem Guides Book Company
Midwest Book Review From petroglyphs to modern Native American art,
decorative designs have played an important role in expressing the ideas and
beliefs of those who have made the American Southwest their home for thousands
of years. The prehistoric Hohokam and Mimbres people used design motifs in rock
art and pottery while the present day Hopi and Navajo use them in the arts and
crafts of today. While many of the symbols and patterns found on pottery,
basketry, rugs and jewelry have histories and meanings assigned to them, many do
not. Southwest Indian Designs answers some of the more commonly asked questions
and provides valuable insights into those designs that do not have specific
meanings. Included are symbols and explanations of Zuni, Navajo, Hopi, Tewa,
Acoma, Pueblo, Mimbres, and Hohokam designs. Mark Bahti has re-created close to
200 symbols and their variations making this an inexpensive, yet invaluable
guide to those interested in the art, history and culture of the Native
Americans of the Southwest. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable
edition of this title. Book Description Explains more than 200 of the most
frequently used Southwestern Indian designs, including those from the Zuni,
Navajo, Hopi, Tewa, Acoma, Pueblo and Hohokam peoples. --This text refers to an

Age Author: Thornburg, David D. ISBN: 0-87120-656-0 LCCN: 2001008540 Dewey: 371.3 21 Number: |
Paperback Association for Supervision & Curriculum Deve
From Library Journal Thornburg, an emerging-technologies futurist, takes a
critical look at education in the United States and how children are taught in a
system designed to prepare them for an industrial-era economy rather than our
present "knowledge-value era." Drawing on his experience and knowledge to
examine trends and make informed assumptions about what the future workplace
will be, he asserts that students must be prepared for the new era, in which
product value is based more on intellectual content than material and where
workers are not interchangeable components on a production line but instead
contribute to production through their creativity and knowledge. Workers will
continue the trend of operating like consultants and will need to upgrade their
knowledge and skills through lifelong learning to support their nomadic
lifestyle. The final chapter offers practical strategies for garnering community
support for curriculum change and effecting change within schools. Parents,
administrators, teachers, policymakers, and anyone interested in education will
find this book engaging and useful. Recommended for school, public, and academic
libraries. Mark Alan Williams, Web Lib. & Document Storage Svcs., Hines VA
Hosp., Chicago Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. Book Description
The increasing globalization of work--coupled with rapid advancements in
communications technology--is making age-old teaching methods irrelevant. To
thrive in the plugged-in future workplace, students today need to learn a whole
new set of fundamental skills. According to David Thornburg, we are on the cusp
of a completely new era. The conventions of interoffice hierarchies, deskbound
workers, and long-term employment contracts will quickly give way to a
"telematic" model of work, in which workers are free to hop from client to
client and country to country at the speed of a DSL connection. Today's
curriculum is predicated on yesterday's realities, and must be reexamined to
better reflect the digital age. This book explores The foundations of the future
economy, The characteristics needed to succeed in the emerging world, and The
changes we need to make in education to ensure that all students leave school
prepared to face the challenges of a redefined world. The New Basics: Education
and the Future of Work in the Telematic Age provides an in-depth discussion of
the skills necessary for professional success in the coming years, along with
strategies on how best to teach them in the classroom. Filled to capacity with
visionary observations, practical suggestions for innovative instruction, and
engaging discussions of the historical precedents for remodeled curriculum, this
book is essential for those seeking to address the pressing issues of the new
millennium.

before high school students, or even high schools, had computers. He wrote his
first program in 1967 on an IBM 1130 (a computer almost as fast as your modern
digital wristwatch, only more difficult to use). He became an official system
administrator of a networked computer at Yale in 1975 and has been working in
the computer and network biz since 1977. He got his company on to Usenet (see
Part IV) early enough that it appears in a 1982 Byte magazine article in a map
of Usenet, which then was so small that the map fit on half a page. He used to
spend most of his time writing software, although now he mostly writes books
(including UNIXİ For Dummiesİ, 4th Edition, and Internet Secretsİ, both from IDG
Books Worldwide, Inc.) because it's more fun and he can do so at home in the
hamlet of Trumansburg, New York, where he holds the exalted rank of sewer
commissioner and offers free samples to visitors and plays with his baby
daughter when he's supposed to be writing. He also does a fair amount of public
speaking. () He holds a B.A. and a Ph.D. in computer science from Yale
University, but please don't hold that against him.; Unlike her peers in that
40-something bracket, Margaret Levine Young was exposed to computers at an early
age. In high school, she got into a computer club known as the
R.E.S.I.S.T.O.R.S., a group of kids who spent Saturdays in a barn fooling around
with three antiquated computers. She stayed in the field through college against
her better judgment and despite her brother John's presence as a graduate
student in the computer science department. Margy graduated from Yale and went
on to become one of the first microcomputer managers in the early 1980s at
Columbia Pictures, where she rode the elevator with big stars whose names she
wouldn't dream of dropping here. <). She loves her husband, Jordan; her kids,
Meg and Zac; gardening; chickens; reading; and anything to do with eating.

Paperback International Reading Association
Book Description Educators today want to go beyond how-to manuals and
publications that merely celebrate the many exciting new technologies as they
appear in schools. Students are immersed in an evolving world of new technology
development in which they are not passive recipients of these technologies but
active interpreters of them. How do you help learners interpret these
technologies as we all become immersed in the new information age? Editor
Bertram C. Bruce provides this collection of 32 Technology Departments from the
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy covering the 1998 to 2002 volume
years, which examines critical aspects of literacy in the new information age
and the complex issues surrounding the use of new technologies. The pieces build
on specific examples from classrooms, Web use, and other experiences with new
digital information and communication environments. Bruce has grouped the
chapters conceptually rather than chronologically into the following six
sections: Historical Perspective, New Media Practices, Personal Meanings,
Ethical and Policy Issues, Learning Opportunities, and Community. The book also
addresses issues such as credibility, access, and privacy, and most centrally an
understanding of what new media mean for teaching, learning, and literacy
development. Educators feel the challenge of preparing students to live
productively within this emerging world and deciding what learning experiences
can best prepare students for becoming literate in today's world. This
collection will provide the tools for you and your students to explore the way
new literacies are evolving as they become ever more central in your lives.

Paperback International Reading Association
Book Description This book is essential for K(8 teachers, curriculum
consultants, and supervisors trying to meet their students' needs in the 21st
century. Emphasizing that instruction should drive technology and not vice
versa, the book presents examples of classroom technology to help teachers
support literacy goals. Also included are lesson plans for use with one of more
computers in the classroom. From the Back Cover Linking Literacy and Technology:
A Guide for K-8 Classrooms recognizes that for teachers responsible for literacy
instruction, advances in technology offer a unique set of challenges and
opportunities. Based on the idea that instruction should drive technology, and
not vice versa, this book shares ideas, options, and opportunities for using
technology in the classroom. Vignettes and examples of classroom uses of
technology are presented throughout the book to highlight concepts and help
teachers support literacy goals. The contributors offer lesson plans that can be
used with one or more computers in the classroom or in computer labs. Each
lesson plan includes objectives, materials, activities, and assessments that
teachers can adapt easily for use in their classrooms. Section 1 of the book
addresses the questions of why instructional technology should be used to
support literacy learning and how a teacher can begin to use it. Section 2
offers ideas for using instructional technology to support skill development,
and content area learning. Section 3 explores ways in which instructional
technology can be integrated in the literacy curriculum and offers strategies
for meeting the challenges of integrating technology in the future. Underlying
the uses for technology presented in the book is the authors' conviction that
students need to be active seekers of knowledge and must construct for
themselves the meaning of what they learn. Linking Literacy and Technology is an
essential resource for reading teachers, preservice and inservice teachers,
curriculum consultants, and curriculum supervisors whose goal is to use
technology to help children develop and use literacy for content area learning
in the K-8 classroom.

From School Library Journal Grade 5-10-An engaging overview of marine
sciences. Each chapter explores a topic in two to four pages, then poses
questions accompanied by lucid explanations. This immediate opportunity to use
the facts just presented, and the step-by-step process of explication, reinforce
the text in a user-friendly fashion. Suggested activities include a stated
purpose, materials needed, and clearly delineated procedures. The results are
described, and a discussion of why things happened further amplifies the
material. For example, two chapters on ocean pollution provide excellent
information along with representative activities demonstrating run off and the
effect of oil on bird feathers. The narrative is easy to read and understand.
Informal and sometimes humorous line drawings appear throughout. Although
similar in scope to Seymour Simon's How to Be an Ocean Scientist in Your Own
Home (HarperCollins, 1988), the arrangement of text, questions, activities, and
explanations in Oceans for Every Kid is clearer and more inclusive. This book is
not only highly informative, but also great fun.?Frances E. Millhouser,

From School Library Journal Grade 3-6-- An entertaining, educational, and
nonthreatening aid to understanding earth science. The easy experiments are
carefully organized in sections dealing with the Earth in space, rocks and
minerals, crustal movement, erosion, atmosphere, weather, and the oceans. Each
experiment includes a purpose, a list of needed materials, step-by-step
instructions, expected results, and a scientific explanation of the results.
Each double-page spread features a helpful black-line drawing of the procedure;
cautions are given where any danger is possible and notes comment on desirable
weather or other necessary conditions. Activities range from making a peanut
butter sandwich to demonstrating a sedimentary rock formation, or erasing pencil
marks on paper to showing how rocks change into sand and thin soil. The concepts
are so elementary and the directions so clear that students can learn just by
reading and visualizing them, although it will be much more fun to actually
perform the experiments. --Rosie Peasley, Somerset School, Modesto, CA Copyright

From School Library Journal Grade 5-7-Twenty easy experiments that
demonstrate how paleontologists construct hypotheses about dinosaurs using the
fragmentary clues left by fossils. For example, by burying a scale model of
Compsognathus in a bucket of sand, kids can calculate what the model weighs, and
then deduce the weight of the actual animal. The text is illustrated with simple
black-and-white diagrams and drawings. Some of the activities here have appeared
in other collections, such as Jerry Booth's The Big Beast Book (Little, 1988).
Unlike that book, however, this title's instructional tone makes it unappealing
for children to read from cover to cover. Best used as a resource for
science-fair experiments or classroom demonstrations. Cathryn A. Camper,
Minneapolis Public Library Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. From
Booklist Gr. 4-7. The latest in the Science for Every Kid Series tackles a
well-traveled but always appealing subject--dinosaurs. In 20 informative
chapters with activities, VanCleave explores the known and unknown about
dinosaurs, including how fossils are formed, the meanings of dinosaur names,
theories about dinosaur skin, and how a dinosaur's weight is determined. Each
chapter begins with an introductory "What You Need to Know," which provides an
overview needed in order to understand the accompanying questions and
experiments. The author does a fine job of explaining some complex subjects and
theories, though the discussion of radioactive decay and half-life seems
unnecessarily complicated for the intended audience. Many of the projects
require adult supervision and say so. Children's keen interest in dinosaurs and
these thought-provoking experiments are sure ingredients for science fun. Denia

Paperback Jossey-Bass
From School Library Journal Grade 6 Up-A collection of 30 projects. Although
some are novel, most are repeats or modifications of familiar demonstrations on
such topics as acid-base reactions, food chemistry, and properties of water. As
VanCleave states, these are "cookbook experiments"-procedures are clearly
written, common household materials are used, and the expected results are
described. A detailed and sometimes sophisticated explanation follows along with
interesting facts and suggestions for additional investigation. A few
experiments require simple mathematical calculations. Black-and-white line
drawings aid in setting up the activities. Overall, the book does a fine job at
what it does. However, while there are elements worth exploring in the suggested
demonstrations, it is a poor model for science-fair projects because the answers
are known before any experimentation is ever run. Alan Newman, American Chemical

Paperback Association for Supervision & Curriculum Deve
Book Description Although administrators, parents, and teachers all want
access to Internet information and services in K-12 schools, no one is sure how
such access will serve teaching and learning goals. Design Tools for the
Internet-Supported Classroom offers staff development professionals an important
resource for helping educators create powerful, curriculum-based online
activities. It's not enough for teachers to know how to use Internet tools like
e-mail or search engines. Teachers who successfully use telecomputing technology
instead focus on the instructional design of their activities, accommodating
students' needs, preferences, and past experiences. Author Judi Harris draws on
research and extensive online experience to demonstrate how teachers can best
become designers for Internet projects. She offers 18 structures for successful
telecomputing activities, an 8-step process for creating those activities, 5
purposes for students' teleresearch, and 10 types of Web pages teachers can use
to support their projects. Have you ever considered who is likely to adopt an
innovation first--or last? How can you work with those educators, and what types
of staff development should you offer them? Harris answers these questions as
well, providing numerous online resources and examples of successful,
classroom-tested projects.

Paperback International Reading Association
School Library Journal Reflection points and classroom vignettes provide
insight and inspiration. Book Description Although most educators know they can
use computers to successfully deliver reading instruction, many are grappling
with how to incorporate computers into their classrooms in ways that best
enhance students' literacy learning. This book will help you reflect on and gain
insights into the complex nature of the teaching-learning process when computers
are used to support students' literacy growth. Author Maureen Carroll shares her
study of how one teacher and her elementary-grade students integrated
computer-based literacy instruction into their curriculum. The chapters
highlight the three major themes that emerged from the study-collaboration,
exploration, and play-to help you understand the diverse ways in which computers
both foster and hinder students' literacy development. You'll ultimately
discover that technology's function should not be to replace the instruction
that is already in place but to enhance it. Reflection Points and classroom
vignettes will provoke thought and discussion about computer-based literacy
instruction. Lessons, such as Internet Scavenger Hunt and Family Fun Night, also
are offered to help you begin integrating computer use in your classroom. Use
this book to imagine new instructional possibilities, undertake new classroom
activities, and question your own teaching-learning process as you use computers
to support your students' literacy growth.

in three-column form, the information is easily digested. But too often the
steps flow over to the next page and drown in the beginnings of another craft.
Margin facts appear every now and then and are often more interesting than the
core information. Organization is generally good, however, and those looking for
project ideas will find this encyclopedic guide much like a new cookbook--filled
with endless possibilities. --Fran Powell, George G. White School, Hillsdale, NJ
