ACCOUNTABILITY
ESSAYS
reproducibles

These nineteen essays were
developed by two teachers as an alternative to the standard sentences that
students are often required to write as a result of negative behavior. The
essays deal with such behaviors as disrupting the class, teasing, lying,
manipulating, profanity, tardiness and more. The essays are short and
contain recurring themes such as respect, behavior ownership, and the
necessity of acting like a mature, young person. Reading levels are given
and hover around the 3.0 to 4.5 level. One of our top sellers.

of thing that we’ve seen, it brings together what teachers often try to

their study and test taking skills in one book by giving them numerous tips, and
a variety of opportunities that give them reason to think about, react to,
review, and make plans regarding the ideas thrown at them. Includes teacher
tips, as well as specific suggestions regarding how teachers might utilize or
reinforce the material presented.
I FOUND THE ANSWER!
reproducibles
...$13.00
Skimming is often considered a skill
possessed by more sophisticated readers; however, we believe the technique of
skimming is a skill worth developing in poor readers since it can take them past
many of the words that they can't read. I Found the Answer! includes several reading passages and related
questions to help the students develop their skimming skills. They learn how to
look for details as they are skimming, as well as to look for key words in
questions in order to locate an answer more quickly. The second half of this
unit puts their newly-acquired skills to use by teaching how to skim for
answers, write lead ins for answers, and answer questions in complete sentences.

WHAT
IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH THESE KIDS
reproducibles ...$18.00
We took information from a poll and developed some interesting reading that deals with why couples have children; the effect working mothers have on children; what it is like growing up as an only child or in a large family; how young people spend their spare time and more. The text focuses on adolescents, and provides a page or so on the results of the poll. The results are followed by one or two personal accounts written in the first person. The accounts range from a girl who finds herself locked in a cell at a detention center to the account of an elderly man who fears the tough looking boys approaching him mean him harm. Worksheets contain hundreds of questions and family problems.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS
ADVICE?
reproducibles...$14.00
This unit is a junior version of Dear Abby. Thirty troubled youngsters have
written letters to their peers. The all-knowing peers answer the letters.
Naturally, the troubled youngsters are having problems with their peers, their
teachers, their families, their friends, and anyone else who happens to pass
their way. It’s up to your students to determine whether the advice given by
the peers is good advice or bad advice. There’s one worksheet page per letter
that covers vocabulary, tests comprehension, and has open-ended,
thought-provoking questions that provide an opportunity for the students to
express some of their own feelings.
MORE WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS
ADVICE?
reproducibles...$14.00
We concluded that if Hollywood can put out
sequels that have XIVMCI after the title, we can put out a sequel. We've
been astounded by the sales of What Do You Think of This Advice?; therefore, we
figured teachers, students, and guidance counselors could use some more letters
to and from peers. The advice varies from the good to the bad to the
"you've got to be kidding." If you've put a sign on your door explaining that
you're no longer in your classroom due to lack of interest, lack of energy, and
lack of id and ego, this unit is thin enough to slide under the door when you
hear, see, or smell the Tumultuous Terrors headed for your territory.
LEARNING STRATEGIES FOR SCHOOL, HOME, AND WORK
reproducibles ...$25.00
As your students work their way through this book, they will learn how to use their learning style to understand things faster and remember things better. The book is divided into chapters, with each chapter beginning with a short story about a young person who had a problem that was solved using a learning strategy. The learning strategy is then presented and the main idea is written at the bottom of the page. Three application pages follow in which the student uses the skill at school, home, and work.
