THIS IS THE LANGUAGE ARTS BOOK FOR YOU IF: You find textbooks and workbooks a bore to your students (and you)—or less effective than you’d like. You need effective, creative (and structured) ideas on how to teach paragraphing and larger compositions. You want to get your students on the road to doing research—like the professionals do. You want some creative ideas for student public speaking. You want lists, forms, and charts to aid you in your teaching. You want two free games—each worth more than the price of this book Author Jim Charnock does not do much educational philosophizing—although you will see and feel the soundness of his techniques throughout the book. After his short, but compelling, introduction, you are in the thick of learning. One chapter after another tells how to best, in his opinion, go about teaching the language arts of several types of writing, public speaking, researching, book reporting, interviewing, dramatizing, and more. What he writes in his synoptic Table of Contents about one particular chapter can be said about this entire small but practical volume: "This is not one of those ‘you ought to do this, but I’m not going to lead you by the hand,’" books. Mr. Charnock’s clarity, energetic style, and practical approaches will make this book a worthy addition to your teaching library, and the ideas an asset to your teaching repertoire. You will be impressed with the simplicity of learning and teaching what others have so onerously complicated. And, after reading and experiencing his ideas, you may, like those in his seminars, feel the urge to stand up and clap.

Classroom teachers are faced with an immediate dilemma: how to engage their students in the content of teaching and inspire them to study, when so many lack the skills to read and easily understand the content. It has also become clear that assigning readings, lecturing, and then asking questions is an ineffective way to teach them. This book proposes how to involve low readers more effectively in textbook learning. It presents instructional techniques to improve students' willingness to work in mainstream textbooks--particularly those students with low reading skills. These techniques optimize learning of new content by focusing on three phases: Teachers *prepare* the student for new learning (Before Reading), *help* them (During Reading), and then help them *integrate* the new learning into what they already know (After Reading). The net effect of providing these active "handles" for learning from text is to maintain the confidence and motivation of the low-reading student. Includes a textbook evaluation form to help teachers assess how or whether to use a particular text with their students. An eminently practical book for the classroom teacher!

For the twelfth edition of this classic textbook, the whole text has been reviewed and revised to take into account new developments in the study and teaching of anatomy. Chapters on the central nervous system, digestive system, and respiratory system have been almost entirely rewritten.
