Misleading classification.......2007-08-28
The search subjects for this book bill it as "secondary" and "high school" language arts. After receiving the book, I can see that it is very much for elementary level teachers. All the pictures, examples, and suggested resources are elementary level.
The book does look like an excellent resource for elementary teachers.

good job breaking down the steps of writing.......2007-07-19
Great ideas for beginning writers in terms of organization. Breaks down the steps simply. Explains what makes interesting writing.
GREAT resource!.......2007-05-09
I have used this book with my own lessons and bought it for all the 2-5 teachers in my building. Very user friendly. Has great ideas for mini-lessons and wonderful resources to copy for students to keep in their wirters' notebooks. I highly recommend this book!
Makes writing seem easy!.......2007-01-16
This book is aimed toward older students, grades 3-8, but I have 2nd graders. Another teacher at my school recommended it, so I gave it a try. While not every lesson is appropriate for my grade level, a lot of it is. I especially like how there is a mini-play (2 or 3 minutes) to go along with the lessons. My students love the section of word choice, where there is a play of Strong Verb vs Weak Verb (like a boxing match). It has reproducible reference sheets for the students to use for transition words, color words, strong verbs, etc. These are great to add to a writing folder. I can't imagine how great this would be for the intermediate grades. Great resource! Especially when you aren't given much of a guideline on how to teach writing!
The Best for teaching writing.......2007-01-14
I work in a sixth grade classroom with second-language learners. This book is the best. I showed it to my fifth grade colleague, and he bought it. What is great about this book is that it has lists of words you can give to the kids such as strong verbs or sight words or transition words. It has wonderful teacher sheets to copy for teaching mini lessons. I used many of her ideas such as show/don't tell, or teaching similes or teaching dialogue. Seriously was not a book that I put on the shelf and rarely looked at. It's hard buying a book and not being able to thumb through it, but I tell you that you won't be disappointed with this one!
Hands-On Writing Tools for Young Writers.......2006-07-18
I enjoyed this book. It gave some very practical advice on creating a workshop environment for writing in the Intermediate grades. I have used the ideas (modified) with younger writers and they are equally as beneficial.
I think this is a must have for anyone who would like to put some Umphhh back into writing in the classroom.
Book Description
Humanities through the Arts is intended for introductory-level, interdisciplinary courses offered across the curriculum in the Humanities, Philosophy, Art, English, Music, and Education departments. Arranged topically by art form from painting, sculpture, photography, and architecture to literature, music, theater, film, and dance. This beautifully illustrated text helps students learn how to actively engage a work of art. The new sixth edition retains the popular focus on the arts as an expression of cultural and personal values.
Book Description
Drama, dance, music, art, literature—all exciting tools for the K-6 classroom. But how do you make the most of them? By using the numerous hands-on activities and ideas in this popular, practical book. Here are dozens of daily routine ideas, integrated unit ideas, and adaptable classroom structures that set forth solid, dependable “how to's” for using the arts throughout the curriculum—in social studies and science, in reading and language arts, even in math. Only in this book will you find such a clear, straightforward summary of these five art forms. And only in this book will you find a clearly presented argument for integrating at least one art form into every lesson in every area—every day. Targeted topics include assessment, classroom management/discipline and intervention/adaptation for special needs.

Too Many Words!.......2006-03-28
While I am sure this book may have some good ideas in it, they would be hard to find. This book is very wordy. I was looking for a book full of integration ideas, this book is full of more justifications of why the arts are important. I know why they are important, what more authors (including this one) need to do is tell us simply and practically how to do it better.
Claudia Cornett Sparks Interest.......2002-11-26
I had the pleasure of having Claudia Cornett visit my school recently. She is a very energetic lady with a storehouse of great ideas! Her discussion, which was based on her book, made a whole room of teachers laugh and act silly. We were playing sock toss to help children with word chunks. We became actors with a simple pen. This pen became: a hairbrush, a microphone, a straw...
I can't wait to pick up a copy of this book and use all of the ideas in my classroom. Her energy and fire is contagious!

Writer's Workshop Works Wonders.......2006-02-26
This outstanding book is perfect for both novice and veteran teachers. It provides an organized and creative approach to implementing a writer's workshop. Within the book you'll find lesson ideas, reproducables, assessment criteria, workshop format, tips, and just about everything you need to create a successful writing program within your classroom.

I can not say enough good things about this book. It is a must buy.
A complete and comprehensive instruction manual.......2004-07-05
In Writing Like Writers: Guiding Elementary Children Through A Writer's Workshop, Kathryn Johnson (who teaches Language Arts Methods and supervises student teachers at the University of Rhode Island) has teamed up with Pamela Westkott (who has been teaching third grade for most of her career in a suburban Rhode Island seaside town) to provide frontline elementary school classroom teachers with a complete and comprehensive instruction manual on instilling creative writing skills in their students through the forum of a writing workshop. Writing Like Writers takes the instructor step-by-step through the process of creating an engaging and productive young writer's workshop in any ordinary classroom and integrated into any standard curriculum. The instructional text is enhanced with illustrative real-life experience-based anecdotes and stories that will inspire the classroom teacher with respect to suggested changes in their approaches to teaching writing to young students. Fully covered are such basic issues as preparing classroom materials for an effective writing environment; utilizing scaffolding techniques to guide the student through the process of writing; strategies and crafts allowing young writers to clearly and descriptively express their ideas. There are even reproducible workshops and helpful websites. Writing Like Writers is commended to the attention of classroom teachers, school curriculum developers, and would prove immensely useful to dedicated homeschooling parents for their use as well.
A terrific resource for every teacher and homeschooler..........2004-07-04
Writing Like Writers guides students through the writing process in a step-by-step fashion that's interesting, and full of different ideas for different writers. Students try each step along the way, and can work out the writing process that suits them best.
Writing Like Writers is complete, with samples and reproducible worksheets throughout. Every aspect of writing is covered: characters, plot, setting, point of view, theme, dialogue, and much more. But far more important than the definition of each aspect, are the examples for teachers to share with their writers. Writing styles and details from repeated words, precise language, onomatopoeia, and more are discussed and tried. Techniques are discussed for use in both fiction and nonfiction writing.
By the time they finish this book, your students will be interested and experienced writers, with many great tools at their fingertips. For teachers, Writing Like Writers provides assesment tools for both teacher- and self-assessment of students' writing. Finally, the book includes "Teaching Children to Write" - a conceptual framework for writing instruction, or how to encourage all the kids in your class to be writers.
Writing Like Writers says that it's for elementary children, but many middle school students who would benefit just as much from this great guide.
How to Teach Writing to Elementary Children.......2004-05-10
As a novice teacher, I have embraced Writing Like Writers: Guiding Elementary Children Through a Writer's Workshop as my primary source for understanding and teaching the writing process. The book has an easy to use format. It provides step by step models for teachers to use to demonstrate the crafts, skills and strategies of writing. I wanted to set up a Writer's Workshop in my classroom that would address the reality that my students are often at different stages of the writing process. This book provided me with the structure and the content to do just that. It's helping me to become a more effective teacher of writing and therefore my students to become better writers.
Book Description
Learning Latin Through Mythology is a highly illustrated workbook to introduce elementary students to Latin using simplified versions of the popular myths of ancient Greece and Rome. The book consists of thirteen units, each including a short English version of a myth, an illustrated Latin version with vocabulary explanations, a related Latin grammar activity, plus related writing and open-ended projects. Innovative review exercises enhance the thirteen units. It captures students' interest in Latin through the myths, motivating them to translate the Latin and complete the other activities. References to mythology are commonplace in advertising, the media and the theater, and so it is essential that students understand the allusions to mythological characters. The lively and unique approach to learning Latin demonstrated by this workbook makes Learning Latin Through Mythology an interesting and useful introduction to simple Latin.

A fun and easy book to use that helps teach, and also review major myths. At least my students enjoy using this one!
Best Way to Learn a Foreign Language.......2004-10-12
Currently I'm reading Alexander of Macedon and the author uses latin phrases the way I use the and it. Learning Latin Through Mythology has helped me make sense out of a lot of the passages. To even get a better grasp of the language get, Amo, Amas, Amat and More by Eugene Ehrlich.
Where is the cassette ISBN 0 521 40762 1.......2002-07-22
I like the book, but where is the cassette?

It helps you introduce the subject to young latin students. Its a workbook, a painting book. It introduces mythology stories concise and dynamic.
Believe it or not, Latin CAN be fun!.......1996-09-29
Children's natural fascination with mythology is used as a
springboard for learning Latin in this engaging illustrated
handbook. A variety of activities and exercises keep

Humanities through The Arts
ASIN: 0072407123 |
Book Description
This introductory exploration of basic artistic concepts and terms applies them to a skeletal multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural history of artistic styles. It treats all the arts—painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, music, theatre, dance, film, architecture, literature—uniformly, and uses a common outline to reinforce the relationship of terms and concepts to the perceptual process. The book also ties both artistic media and history to the theme of art as a reflection of human reality This examination focuses on the media of the arts, pictures, sculpture, music, theatre, cinema, dance, architecture, literature, the styles of the arts, ancient approaches, artistic reflections in the pre-modern world, as well as artistic styles in the emerging modern world and, the beginnings of modernism, pluralism in a post-modern age. For art enthusiasts and others interested exploring how artists express themselves.
Book Description
Accessible and hands-on yet grounded in research, this book addresses the "whats," "whys," and "how-tos" of integrating literacy instruction and the arts in grades K-8. Even teachers without any arts background will gain the skills they need to bring music, drama, visual arts, and dance into their classrooms. Provided are a wealth of specific resources and activities that other teachers have successfully used to build students' oral language, concepts of print, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and writing, while also promoting creativity and self-expression. Special features include reproducible worksheets and checklists for developing, evaluating, and implementing arts-related lesson plans.
