Big Six and High School

[Mike Eisenberg <mike@eryx.syr.edu>]

In response to Diane's story about the teacher (see below), I suggest you
consider creating some kind of Big Six self-help handout for the kids.
Start with task definition - asking them to note their project and topic,
etc.  Then, leave space for brainstorming, etc.  The point is, if you
can't get the teacher to focus on the process or if you can't arrange to
do a lesson for the students, at least you can give them something to
help them one on one.

I know some library media specialists out there have done similar
self-help sheets.  Perhaps they can share with Diane and LM_NET.

p.s. - Earlier someone mentioned about other books.  Bob and I are
working on 2 books - the long delayed Helping With Homework, intended for
parents, and one aimed at teachers - Learning in the Information Age.
Bob is cranking away, and I'm trying to find a little time to work on these.
Stay tuned.
