Here are two books that I have used for many years. Look for updated versions as these are both very much "oldies, but goodies"! The Social Studies Teacher's BOOK OF LISTS (Partin, 1992). Here is a sample: #326 Stress Prevention Techniques, avoid catastrophizing, avoid getting too wrapped up in yourself, be an actor, not a reactor, choose to be happy (these are just a sample of 54 techniques offered!)
The second book that I have had and used for years is The NEW Reading Teacher's BOOK OF LISTS (Fry, Fountoukidis, and Polk, 1985). A sample includes: #25 SIMILES, #26 METAPHORES, and # 27 IDIOMS.
Other useful "books of lists include: The Ultimate Book of Top 10 Lists (Frater, 2010), The Book of Lists (Wallechinsky and Wallace, 2005), and The Art Teacher's Book of Lists (Hume, 2010).
Dr. Hertz,
ReplyDeleteI also find The Art Teacher's Book of Lists to be quite useful. I was lucky enough to get my copy of the 2nd. edition at a Borders closing for half price.
Beyond the traditional source of reference. I am finding the numbers of web based resources that expand the opportunity for information access to be beyond belief. A good one that I discovered recently for best practices as well as information relative to arts education is The Incredible Art Department site at http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/index.html.
