ACCOUNTABILITY
ESSAYS
reproducibles ...$8.00
These nineteen essays in this best
selling unit 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.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS
ADVICE?
reproducibles ... $12.00
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.
PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS,
EVERYWHERE
reproducibles ...$15.00
At first glance these materials sound more like a
description of your classroom. Just as life has taught you that by the
time you guide, steer, or direct one adolescent jean-clad problem to the other
side of the Amazon River Basin, another problem has made his or her way safely
back from New Guinea. Your profession has taught you problems don't go
away; they just change. That's the underlying message of these materials.
In that problems of one sort or another are always going to be around, it makes
sense for young people to learn how to deal with all types. Your students
will be analyzing and making decisions about both major and minor problems.
They'll also see that some problems are temporary, while others are long
lasting. Then there are problems that can be avoided, and the ones that
will occur no matter what. In summary, these materials pretty well address
about every type of problem on might encounter. Not only do students look
at various types of problems and why they occur, but they try to figure out
solutions. The materials stress the fact that if they are alive, they are
going to have problems, therefore; they better learn how to deal with them.
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH THESE KIDS
reproducibles ...$12.00
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.
EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY
reproducibles ...$12.00
This unit gives students the opportunity to form opinions, make decisions, learn new vocabulary and practice writing skills. We present the students with 8 characters. Each of the characters tells something about himself or herself. They answer a series of questions that are directly related to something the characters have said. Assignments require students to write out lists, give specific information, or draw pictures. Also included are cartoon drawings with bubbles that the students must fill in.
