Method Mania

Pages : 169
Book Description
Success in school, in work, and in life can be greatly enhanced by the ability to write effectively. And due to the writing process revolution we are gradually improving the quality of writing. The writing process focuses on exploring metacognitively what writers actually do throughout a writing task; how real writers go about constructing texts. Teachers work closely with students, helping them to understand writing as a communication and learning process. The importance of the creation, expression, and comprehension of meaning is emphasized throughout the process. Because writing is a complex process, students need to progress through a number of levels, not necessarily in a linear fashion, to experience the process. Too often students approach writing with a "one and done" mentality, failing to recognize that complex writing cannot be accomplished in a single sitting, in a single draft. We need to help them realize that successful writers are reflective about their writing processes and habits, learning what procedures work best and adapting them to suit particular situations. The best forum for implementing the writing process into the classroom is through a writer's workshop. A typical writer's workshop is a block of time scheduled each day for students to work through the steps in the process. It is important to remember that writing should extend across the curriculum. If a block of writing time can't be scheduled for one day it should be integrated into another subject. Writing should be viewed as a means of communicating and emerge naturally out of other activities. Teachers should make writing so integral to each lesson that the flow of the class is smooth from mental to verbal to written communication. Teachers using the workshop approach do not ignore the product and parts of language. Instead, the product is considered within the process. Grammar and mechanics are taught in the context of use. In the past, the teaching of formal grammar usually displaced some instruction and practice in actual composition. Unfortunately, with our overcrowded curriculum, teachers can't afford to spend excessive class time on decontexualized grammar exercises that involve little or no actual composition. Students should be given daily opportunities to explore writing and create written text for various purposes. We know that writing is a powerful tool that can influence others and clarify one's own thoughts. Teaching the writing process through the workshop approach can give students the key to unlocking this powerful tool. And the activities in this book are designed to help make the process easier for teachers to pick up and implement today. You will find over 200 mini lessons designed to stimulate critical and creative thinking that can be applied to written composition in all phases of the writing process. Students will continue to recognize that adults who use these activities in the context of authentic literacy lessons are those who are committed to facilitating and promoting only the very best of writers.

Single Family Asylum
Author: Jon Ziegler
Publisher: Jon Ziegler
ISBN:
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
No matter how hard we try, and no matter how much we want to believe such a thing exists, there are no perfect parents. There are no perfect spouses. So rather than sit around lamenting his own shortcomings, Jon Ziegler decided to do something about it . . . Laugh! Single Family Asylum is a hilarious celebration of all the family events and attitudes that make us human. And as ridiculous as some of these short stories can get, they are all still wrapped around elements that are familiar to nearly every family on the planet. So if perfection, or even sound advice on parenting and marriage is what you are seeking, this book will be of little value. But if a humorous, offbeat look at life through the eyes of a well-intentioned but less than perfect husband and father , you might just want to check out Single Family Asylum.

Pages : 332
Book Description
One day, while Bitsy and I were living in Wichita, Kansas, I came home for lunch to find a round, black and charred spot on the kitchen floor. Of course, I knew what had happened. Bitsy was a smoker then and she had emptied a hot ash tray into the kitchen waste basket, caught it on fire and burned the floor but being a considerate husband I gave her an opportunity to explain by asking What happened? She calmly stated Would you believe spontaneous combustion? I replied, You dont even know what that means. She replied, Well, I know its not my fault! To be both quick witted and funny are great traits to have especially when your vocation is writing. I have selected several of her columns for this book which will bring back memories to you, fill you with much laughter and perhaps a few tears, but most of all you will be entertained. Sam S. Bowman

Melancholy, Mania and Miracles
Author: Shelley Thody
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1449772730
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
Mental illness, when untreated, can feel like imprisonment. This book was written to give hope to those suffering from mental illness and more specifically bipolar disorder. The struggles associated with this condition are not isolated and often create a frightening halo effect that impacts parents and other family members trying to care for a loved one who is suffering. The main purpose of this book is to offer knowledge, insight, and guidance to people and the families who support them by witnessing an intense, frightening, and ultimately joyful journey with bipolar. We don't go through hell and back without a good reason, and I recently felt my story needed to be shared. One binding thread throughout my book is that although the mind is very strong, God's love and will are much stronger. I am now a happy, healthy, married mom with three beautiful children. I have been an elementary teacher for the last seventeen years and have not required major interventions or hospitalization for twenty-five years. My story can educate and offer hope to those who are struggling with bipolar disorder and want to re-establish equilibrium in their lives and the lives of those they love.
