Teaching Ten to Fourteen Year Olds

Longman Pub. Group

The middle grades are an especially significant era in the education of youth. Emerging adolescents become increasingly curious about the surrounding world - becoming aware of new issues, looking at familiar things differently and expanding their ideas. Students typically raise urgent questions about the way things are, examining adult values and assumptions in ways that make curriculum design particularly challenging to teachers. Authors Stevenson and Carr contend that students evolving interests and needs are not met by textbook/workbook-dependent approaches. Their invitation to a group of middle level teachers was to collaborate in designing some innovative teaching units about topics already known to be inherently interesting to their students. Students' interests and questions would be integrated with existing curriculum goals. These teachers spent a week together in the summer creating their teaching plans, and they gathered on fall weekends to share experiences and successes. Their insights are presented, showing ways they responded to their students' interests and dispositions. The dozen detailed examples of integrated curriculum units included in this volume provoke imagination and nourish the reader's courage to innovate in similar ways. Concrete examples, planning guidelines, and practical advice are also included. The book should be of interest to all educators involved with curriculum design, professors in elementary and middle level methods courses, graduate and undergraduate teacher educators, teacher in-service presenters and education foundations.

Eighteen-year-old Tilly Breedlove's father has sold her into a form of modern day slavery on Luna—the Tranquility Harbor Mining Company, 240,000 miles from home. Family Trade and Loan, an unscrupulous company, is more than willing to take her on and exploit her talent. Forced to be an exotic dancer, she performs risqué shows for the filthy but filthy rich ore miners—a far cry from her classical and modern dance training. If she isn't resisting obscene advances from bearded "Prairie Dogs," she's fending off jealous head-liner acts who view her as a threat to their status—and when those jealous showgirls say "break a leg," they aim to cause it. The only reprieve she finds in this shop of horrors is a few close ward friends, a sympathetic dance coach, and Buddy Gunner Bell who just might become the love of her life. It’s just enough to stem her psychological meltdown.
