At the request of former students who became teachers like him, John Philips is sharing some of his favorite lessons, designed to get results from even the most reluctant learners.
Jivin' Johnny's Classroom Teacher's Emergency Lesson Plans offers 90 user-friendly lessons and projects on a wide spectrum of topics. Each lesson encourages "learning by doing" rather than simply listening or reading.
The projects are designed to stimulate students' thinking and creative skills by breathing new life into classroom curriculum.
Some of the projects are: "Let's Build It," "Create Your Own Country," "History at a Glance," and "From Money to Marriage."
The book, which costs $15.73 (mailing costs included), is available from Jjohnny Press, P.O. Box 756, Midland, Ontario, Canada, L4R 4P4. For more information visit the Web site [http://www.jjohnnypress.com].
