Practical for a 3rd-6th grade teacher looking for writing ideas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The Yellow Pages is a great book to generate ideas for writing projects for your students. It has a thoughtful explanation of the writing process, and pages of ideas for story starters, top ten lists, and statements to which to respond. Although I haven't yet found them useful, it has sections of rhyming words, common words and their juicy synonyms, and commonly misspelled words. They could be useful for generating posters around the room, for example. I have been teaching for a few years, and this book has saved me a handful of times when I needed to come up with a writing prompt or activity in a hurry. Because this book is mostly unknown (I know one other teacher that has it; she loves it too), it's probably a good choice for a gift idea, too. I also have the Science Yellow Pages, but feel pretty neutral about it.
