Ignite Student Intellect and Imagination in Language Arts

Here is a virtual gold mine of engaging materials that will bring students' understanding of language arts to new and needed levels. These classroom-ready resources are specifically designed to help students meet the standards set by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) and the International Reading Association (IRA) for grades 6-8.

Included are 94 student-friendly Bloom Sheets. Each one calls for students to complete tasks that involve all six levels of learning as set forth in the classic Bloom's Taxonomy. Organized in sections aligned with the NCTE/IRA standards, these sheets can be used as class work, for enrichment or independent study, or as supplements in any language arts class or program - they also make great homework assignments for students to complete with the active involvement of their parents.

In addition, the timely volume contains a raft of related imaginative and engaging activities and alternative ways to assess learning in language arts.
