Question by David: How much lesson planning do high school teachers do?

I plan on teaching math next year, and my girlfriend (an elementary education major) tells me that I will need to spend hours planning each step of my lessons. As a business major, I wonder why not just buy a book with lesson plans already written (rather than reinventing the peel year after year) and adapting it if I need to.

Is this allowed? Are high school math teachers to produce original lesson plans? Why? Especially since math doesn't exactly change much year to year, so, why write lesson plans instead of buying them?

    Making a Family Home





    "More than merely a dwelling, the definition of home extends beyond the meaning of a house and contains an additional poetic meaning. There's the saying, `Home is where the heart is.' Creating a home for our families can be both a challenge and a pleasure. Creating a home is a process of imbuing our space with soul and spirit, surrounding our family with love, care, comfort." --Shannon Honeybloom Making a Family Home is a book of real beauty, one both personal and universal. In describing her home and family life, Shannon Honeybloom shows how she made--and how we can make--a house into a real home as she shares her own efforts, hopes, and lessons in making a safe and healthy home that provides warmth and intimacy for the whole family.

    Illustrated in color with lively, evocative photographs, Shannon invites the reader into her home and offers warm encouragement and practical suggestions for virtually every aspect of bringing love, comfort, and beauty to a family home. The chapters in Making a Family Home range from "At Home with Children" to "The Front Porch" and "The Playroom" to "The Backyard and the Garden."

    Shannon Honeybloom is a friend and confidant who offers gentle suggestions and wise insights for parents who wish to surround their family with the best possible home environment.

    The Baseball Economist: The Real Game Exposed





    Freakonomics meets Moneyball in this provocative exposé of baseball’s most fiercely debated controversies and some of its oldest, most dearly held myths

    Providing far more than a mere collection of numbers, economics professor and popular blogger J.C. Bradbury, shines the light of his economic thinking on baseball, exposing the power of tradeoffs, competition, and incentives. Utilizing his own “sabernomic” approach, Bradbury dissects baseball to pics such as:
    • Did steroids have nothing to do with the recent homerun records? Incredibly, Bradbury’s research reveals steroids probably had little impact.
    • Which players are ridiculously overvalued? Bradbury lists all players by team with their revenue value to the team listed in dollarsâ€"including a dishonor role of those players with negative valuesâ€"updated in paperback to include the 2007 season.
    • Does it help to lobby for balls and strikes?

    Statistics alone aren’t enough anymore. This is a refreshing, lucid, and powerful read for fans, fantasy buffs, and playersâ€"as well as coaches at all levelsâ€"who want to know what is really happening on the field.

    Fiction
    by Air Force One

    Question by redshirt34: What's the difference between fiction, mass market fiction, and trade fiction?

    When I read book lists in newspapers and magazines it has different types of books. For example one list would be mass market fiction and another list will just be fiction.




    Best answer:

    Answer by Cathy S
    The terms "mass market" and "trade" refer to paperback book sizes. Mass market paperbacks are the small ones (approximate 4.25 inches wide and 6.75 inches high). Trade paperbacks are usually the same size as a hardcover edition but have soft covers.

    The reason to separate them in something like a b est-seller list would be that the mass market editions are cheaper than the trade editions, which are cheaper than the hardcover editions, so sales figures will be different depending on the edition. A lot of my friends will wait (about a year) for a book to come out in paperback instead of buying the hardcover.

    A little chick shows that he can make the sounds of the animals in his neighborhood.This little chick has a lot to say. Making the rounds on the farm one day, our fine, feathered friend learns to mimic all his barnyard buddies, from pigs to frogs to cows:
    This little chick from over the way
    went to laze with the cows one day.
    And what do you think they heard him say?
    Moo Moo Moo Moo Moo Moo
    Young readers will love predicting what sounds the feisty chick will make next as he swims, jumps, and skips his way through the day. And everyone will be as ready as he is to curl up for a much-needed rest when he finally returns home to his mom to share all he has learned. John Lawrence\'s take on a traditional rhyme is enhanced by his eye-catching illustrations, made with vinyl engravings, printed wood textures, and watercolor washes. Especially marvelous are the black sheep frolicking in their curly, swirly wool coats. (Ages 1 to 4) --Emilie Coulter

    Teaching Social Skills to Youth: A Curriculum for Child-Care Providers





    A master guide to social skills instruction for anyone working with children and adolescents.

    Youth who make poor decisions, have difficulty making friends, fight, and generally behave badly often do so because they never have learned the social behaviors many of us take for granted.

    Their inability to cope with everyday situations makes them vulnerable to an array for problems, including self-defeating behaviors and self-destructive impulses.

    Teaching Social Skills to Youth describes one of the most effective ways to help improve the behavior of young people. More than 180 social skills, from the basic (following inst ructions and introducing yourself) to the complex (stress management and conflict resolution), are broken down into component behaviors to aid the learning process. The book also explains the teaching techniques that enable youth to recognize when, where, or with whom to use a particular skill.

    Teaching Social Skills to Youth is an ideal resource in the classroom, in counseling or therapy, and in job training programs. It\'s also the perfect companion book to Treatiang Youth with DSM-IV Disorders: The Role of Social Skill Instruction.
