Social Themes

Today Brian, Deb and I were able to discuss social themes. Our book by Jacqueline Glasgow is full of "lesson" that teach these themes. We are moved by the content she explores and all the different reading genre she explores. Her book includes rubrics that you can tweak and her flavor of choice book. What I have found is that even though the book may be too high for my students she has a list at the end of the chapter of other books that could be used. Social themes need to be started at elementary school. Unfortunately some of our students are not getting the guidance they need from home and we are it. If you are looking for some fresh ideas or names for things that you already do this is the book for you.

Bobbi, wonderful presenation... Monster lessons are in this book!!!!!

  1. The lessons in our book can be changed to fit our needs in the classroom or grade level. Jody is right, the lessons are very usable.
