This book offers a new class of tasks designed to stimulate deeper thinking and lively discussion among middle and high school students. The problems have a closed beginning and end, meaning they start and end with the same problem and solution, but the middle is "open" with multiple ways to approach and ultimately solve the problem. These tasks help teachers assess and deepen student understanding, build student stamina, and energize their classrooms.

"In sixth grade, students will begin to grapple with some of the biggest challenges, and often debates, within and outside of the scientific community. The Cause and Effect STEM Road Map theme for sixth grade focuses on human impacts on climate. In this module, students in science and mathematics class will investigate aspects of climate change driven by the rise in global temperatures over the past century and develop potential solutions that might address one aspect of human activity that has contributed to global climate change. This project will require students to conduct and use the engineering process to identify a problem and develop a model to help mitigate the identified problem. The book will have students explain the causes and effects of climate change and how humans have influenced climate change, use mathematical modeling and statistics to explore the impact of climate change, analyze and synthesize reputable media to form scientific arguments regarding climate change, and explore the influence of climate change on the economy, society, and human populations"--

Draws on critical and radical change theory to equip both aspiring and practicing library and teacher candidates with practical, research-based ideas for enacting critical literacy practices in middle grade libraries and classrooms. Genre Based Strategies to Promote Critical Literacy in Grades 4-8 provides strategies and lesson plans with additional resources and tools for school librarians and teachers to engage middle grade students in reading children's literature through a critical literacy lens. To be critically literate readers and thinkers, students must learn to question what they read, asking themselves who wrote the text, why the text was written, and how the text positions its readers and others. Teaching students how to read from a critical literacy stance is a timely and relevant practice in a world in which text is available instantly and on nearly any mobile device. In many cases, preparation programs for school librarians and teachers do not teach candidates how to incorporate critical literacy practices in library and classroom settings. This book provides both pre-service and in-service school librarians and teachers with that professional development and guidance for teaching critical literacy in children's literature courses.

Schule sollte konsequent ein Lernen mit allen Sinnen, also auch dem Bewegungssinn, ermöglichen. In dem Vorwort wird die Bedeutung der Bewegung für die Entwicklung von Kindern und Jugendlichen erläutert. Die didaktisch-methodischen Anregungen zeigen Konkretisierungen für bewegtes Lernen der Klassenstufen 7 bis 10/12 im Fach Gemeinschaftskunde/Recht/Wirtschaft mit den Zielen zusätzliche Informationszugänge durch z. B. das Begreifen von wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und politischen Zusammenhängen durch Bewegungshandlungen zu erschließen und diese durch Handlungen wie Platzwechsel zu optimieren. Bewegtes Lernen hilft auch Haltungskonstanz zu vermeiden und kann die Lernfreude steigern. Des Weiteren sollen die Schüler zunehmend selbstständig Lernen mit Bewegung verbinden, neue Varianten suchen und mit einem Partner zusammenarbeiten.

This valuable guide advises teachers and librarians how to use novels in verse in functional, hands-on ways with teens, including reluctant readers. Novels in verse are popular and have recently won some important awards. They are of great value to teachers and librarians as a way of reaching all teens, including marginalized teens and those who may be struggling or reluctant readers. This guide shows readers how to pair books with teens based on their needs, interests, and specific situations. After teens are paired with books, this guide suggests activities to further engage them with the poetry. Activities are tied to Common Core and AASL standards for ease of lesson planning for teachers. Verse novels address a widely diverse demographic and a variety of topics, including various cultures, religions, racism, LGBTQ+ themes, mental illness, poverty, homelessness, sexual assault, self-harm/suicide, domestic violence, family dynamics, disabilities, refugees, English language learners, and more. Novels in verse provide a more modern, practical alternative to some older classics that may not appeal to many teens or that may intimidate them by their sheer number of words per page. This book provides a one-stop resource for choosing and using novels in verse with teen readers.
