For pentatonic scales: try researching BLUES MUSIC, try Guitar (Acoustic Guitar, Fingerstyle Guitar, Guitar Player, Blues Guitar, maybe even Spin or olling Stone) publications, which would likely have articles about it. Pentatonic scales (also five-note scales) are basis for American blues music and then for rock and roll). Hope that helps.

I WAS bringing all of my pedantic optimism to the video--and also inferring things that weren't said about WHY the kids felt so disenfranchised from the learning. It was a knee-jerk reaction to the horror of lecture halls where the professor is miles away and in his/her own little world "lecturing." I was one of the lucky ones. I had small class sizes and plenty of opportunity to interact (without technology) throughout college. And that's what I want for today's students (WITH technology put to creative use!) And Dawn's point is well-taken too. Her daughter Nikki was offended by the apathy toward learning in the video (and its reflection on her real-life experience with classmates). However, I must say that I hold Nikki's professors responsible, in part, for not establishing a non-negotiable requirement for the investment of their students in the educational process. For me, it all comes down to the excitement and lasting change that a good education provides. It requires a tremendous investment on the part of educators and an equal investment from students (and remember, as educators, it is WE who set the expectations for the students). That student investment, I think, is more likely to come when we step into new teaching territory that is exciting for them. I suppose it comes down to my same old song--education is, at all levels, meant to be about student learning and achievement. As educators, we must continually ask ourselves how we are ENSURING that learning.

Hello all: =20 I appreciate all of the wonderful support and encouragement I have been rec= eiving from all of you these past couple of weeks. It has made a difficult= time a bit easier. Some of you were interested in hearing about my interv= iew yesterday. If so, read on. The school I interviewed for was previousl= y an alternative high school. This year, they decided to go the preemptive= route and take incoming 9th graders at risk and separate them out before t= heir problems escalated. So I would have 150 at risk freshmen as my popula= tion. The school - and library space - is new, only 7 years old. However = when the school moved from the old location to this one, the SLMS was elimi= nated. You've got it - a library space that hasn't seen a professional in = that long. 25 brand new computers, but almost no books - pleasure, curricu= lum based, reference or otherwise. The space has potential - I can see com= puters along a wall so I can view the screens, tables for working at, a sma= ll little area with comfy chairs to read in and books to fill the shelves..= .. Some of you may remember the email I sent talking about my previous job= s. If you do, please tell me - am I crazy for thinking I can do this?? =20 Jaclyn Adler SLMS in search of a job Upstate NY winsler2003@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ Boo!=A0Scare away worms, viruses and so much more!

Here is the content of the handout. Hope it can help. Sherry Martin ----------------------------------------------- What is Historical Fiction? Historical fiction is categorized by the time of the setting and the believability of events. The stories are set in the historical past with events that could have possibly occurred. The author creates plot, character and events and places them into an authentic historical setting that is true to the facts of history. Features that characterize historical fiction include: An illustration of reality set in the past Believable characters Real-world settings in the historical past Themes dealing with basic conflicts of humans Language reflecting the historical period and people Historical Fiction Authors AVI Crispin and the Cross of Lead Crispin at the Edge of the World Smugglers' Island The Fighting Ground The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle JOAN W.
