商品簡介
Ellis, a former elementary and middle school teacher who teaches education at Seattle Pacific U., and Evans, a junior high principal and former teacher, provides 16 strategies for use in middle and high school English and social studies classrooms that bring together teaching, learning, and assessment. The argument in the book--and the others in the series--is that this combination will create a reflective classroom, one that also increases achievement and moral and social behavior. Strategies parallel others in the series, with information on differentiation, classroom examples, and discussion questions unique to the middle and high school English and social studies classroom, as well as procedures, outcomes, theory, and research similar to the other volumes. Strategies include writing what was learned, reviewing the week's events and activities, teaching other students in a jigsaw group, involving parents, searching for meaning, drawing, and assessment.
