Cycle 2 Resources



This site has some of those life lessons that I was talking about in my post that I often feel my students need to know but are not learning at home.  Since teachers are being asked to parent more and more at school, maybe we should be responsible for teaching them?

Begun, R.W. (1996). Ready-to-Use Social Skills Lessons and Activities for Grades 4-6. San Francisco, CA. Jossey-Bass.

This book gives teachers lesson guides to use in the classroom to teach life lessons and important social skills.  You can preview the book at amazon.com here: http://www.amazon.com/Ready-Social-Skills-Lessons-Activities/dp/0876284748/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_z

McCall, J. (2011). Gaming the Past: Using Video Games to Teach Secondary History. New York, NY. Routledge.

This book is written all about using progressive education such as video games to connect and engage students in learning history, much like the Quest to Learn schools. You can preview the book here: http://www.amazon.com/Ready-Social-Skills-Lessons-Activities/dp/0876284748/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_z
