Review
Farmer's guide to cooperative learning is valuable to both librarians and classroom teachers. While some might implement activity plans as presented, many will use these as inspiration to create their own plans. Cooperative Learning in the the Library Media Center is a very useful source.Education Libraries
Includes extensive activity plans for a variety of subjects.Teacher Librarian
Although the focus of this book is middle and high school, it has excellent information that can easily be adapted for use in the elementary school.Elementary School Library Collection
If you need to convince a reluctant teacher, or simply want to know what kinds of lessons can be done in different subject areas, this book could help. Recommended.Book Report
Product Description
Based on the premise that many minds are better than one, this revised edition of Farmer's popular book helps you understand, develop, and implement cooperative learning activities with middle and high school students. Recent findings about cooperative learning are incorporated into the strategies, as well as such trends and developments as team planning, outcome-based assessment, information literacy, and the new national guidelines for library media programs. Farmer has also added a number of new activities and detailed lesson plans, many technology based, in each of the content areas. Multifaceted projects are introduced to highlight the possibility of in-depth student work centered on resource-based research. A wonderful source for lesson plans, this book also serves as a ready-reference tool.
