Book Description

July 1, 2004 1593630174 978-1593630171
This new offering from the Texas Association for the Gifted and Talented contains sample units written, taught, and revised by a group of Texas teachers. Teachers from around the state submitted successful "tried and true" units for possible inclusion in an elementary curriculum publication. A committee selected 13 units for inclusion in the new publication, all of which have been aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS).

Featuring ready-to-use instructional units aligned with national standards, this book is guaranteed to save you hours of planning time. From a simulation of the Middle Ages, to producing a student-run magazine, to analysis of folk tales, to the science behind hot air balloons, the creative lessons in this book cover the core academic areas.

These sample units are yours to adapt and modify to meet the needs of the students in your classroom. Use them to enrich the learning experiences of your gifted and talented children!

This review is from: Instructional Units for Gifted and Talented Learners (Paperback)
I was hoping for some ready to use units to cut down my vast curriculum writing time but this isn't it. I bought this at the first of the school year and haven't really been able to use it. It's incomplete. Teaching materials suggested are not included and aren't necessarily easy to find. It doesn't explain certain terms used with the lesson plans. It's very much like the lesson plans you read on the internet and then skip over because they're not realistic or helpful. I wouldn't recommend this for purchase unless you just want to get some semi-vague ideas or have a surplus of disposable income or maybe you're taking university courses and you need help writing lessons for your professor.
