"This is a textbook about teaching Language Arts in the Elementary School. It's a great book, very thorough, all the infomation you would need to prepare for class."
"This book would be a great resource for language arts teachers at all levels. It provides insight into the set up and organization of your classroom, possible schedules and aspects of language arts that need to be included in instruction. I found the chapter on Looking Closely at Words particularly helpful. There were many activities that I could use as a 6th grade teacher with my students. There were ways to incorporate word study into other curricular areas as well. Tompkins also has a chapter focusing on different reading and writing instruction patterns. This chapter is very helpful for individuals wanting to see how lit. circles differ from focus units or reading workshop. She gets into details about the time frame needed for each structure and the roles of students in each. What is also helpful is that there is a list of books and materials at the end of each chapters, so as you read, you can use the suggested books in your classroom, you don't have to try to come up with texts that fullfill the objective they are already listed for you."
This is a great book by Gail Tompkins that has a lot of useful information for the language arts classroom. The idea of literature circles is weaved throughout the book. She first includes the components of a good literature circle approach. These include, reading, responding, creating projects, and sharing. Roles that the students can do during the discussion part of literature circles are also including. Many of the ones she names are ones that I have used before. Chapter 14 of the book shares different ways to plan language arts units...one of them being literature circles. Quite a few pages are dedicated to how to organize literature circles, how to decide on roles, how to use "grand conversations," and finally, how to assess students. The thing that I have found most helpful to me is the example grading sheet on page 480. It helps students to organize the week's activities along with grading themselves. They reflect on their work and score how they did with the reading, roles, grand conversations, reading log, group projects, and sharing. Then they are expected to go a step further and write about their work on the back of the paper. I really like this form of self-assessment, especially for my fifth graders!"
