Teacher Reading – “Teaching Middle School Language Arts”

I met Anna J. Small Roseboro through the English Ning, a site used to share ideas. She kindly sent me a copy of her new book shown below. As you will see in the second photo, once I found my supply of sticky tabs, I was hardpressed not to put at least one on every page. That’s how good this book is! TMSLA is a gold mine of ideas. I encourage you to check it out.

I am looking for a keynote for our Sun West Teacher’s Convention August 29 and 30 in Rosetwon, SK and was wanting some information about cost and topics you could talk on in regards to motivating teacher’s back to school. Can you email me some information at marea.olafson@sunwestsd.ca

Classroom Management – Students working in groups April 10, 2012
Everyone loves group work! Recently, I had the pleasure of acting as a University Facilitator for four students in their final practicum at Red Deer College. As I watched each of these fledgling teachers interact with students, I was pleased to see them employing the tools of teaching in effective ways . . . but [...]

Student Writing – Writing for a Reason: Free Stuff March 12, 2012
thanks to ciker.com for the image Writing for a Reason – Free Stuff Back in the day, I taught my students how to write friendly letters and business letters. These days, email has, for the most part, replaced these time-honored forms of communication. But when kids are asked to write to someone, even when they [...]

The Topic Sentence – First, second or last? February 17, 2012
Topic sentences often appear as the first sentence in a paragraph. Alternatives exist. Which do you prefer? A hedgehog’s quills are its most obvious, most interesting feature. The quills, actually stiff, hollow hairs, have no points, are not barbed, and unlike porcupine quills, are not easily removed from a hedgehog’s body. The quills can be [...]

Teacher Man and Teacher Ms. – the Musical Versions February 7, 2012
I’m not a great singer. When I wrote new words to the Spiderman theme, one titled Teacher Man and the other Teacher Ms., I knew that singing the words at teacher gatherings would be memorable – but for the wrong reasons. Fortunately, two talented singers have solved my dilemma. Here are the words sung by [...]
