An unsolicited testimonial for the science book - Hi Laurie -
I am Lee DeWitt and I was just at your most recent GT course for Comal ISD. First, I must tell you something anecdotal. My daughter is 13 and has been tested GT. So when we were sitting on the couch and I was soooooo excited about all my new toys, I was sharing with her all the new activities. So I arbitrarily opened the menu book for science and found a 2-5-8 chart and told her the basic rules. I told her she needed to choose assignments that total 10 points. With total disregard for points she started picking the ones she wanted to do. I reminded her that she only needed to accumulate 10 points and with genuine interest she said, "Ya, but can't I do more?" It almost brought tears to my eyes to see how effective your ideas were immediately and I can't tell you how long it has been since I have been this excited about the beginning of a school year. So much thanks again. |
| Differentiating Instruction With Menus offers
teachers everything they need to create a student-centered learning
environment based on choice. Addressing the four main subject areas
(language arts, math, science, and social studies) and the major concepts
taught within these areas, these books provide a number of different types
of menus that elementary-aged students can use to select exciting products
that they will develop so teachers can assess what has been learned—instead
of using a traditional worksheet format. Each book contains attractive reproducible menus, each based on the levels of Bloom's revised taxonomy, for students to use to guide them in making decisions as to which products they will develop after studying a major concept or unit. Using creative and challenging choices found in Tic-Tac-Toe Menus, List Menus, 2-5-8 Menus, Baseball Menus, and Game Show Menus, students will look forward to sharing their newfound knowledge throughout the year. Also included are specific guidelines for products, rubrics for assessing student products, and teacher introduction pages for each menu. This book includes menus that teach students about physical science, earth science, and scientists and the tools they use. |
