Classroom Publishing: A Practical Guide for Teachers (OpenBook) Review

Classroom Publishing: A Practical Guide for Teachers (OpenBook)

This book is a wonderful resource for teachers K-12 (and I suspect it might even help some high education teachers). It gives an overview of the different areas of publishing, and it gives real life examples of how teachers have incorporated publishing in their classrooms. This book would also be helpful for those who oversee student publications like yearbooks, school newspapers, or literary magazines. After reading this book, I suspect that using publishing in the classroom would also be helpful in school subjects apart from language arts or English. This book also has a helpful website with some lesson plans and a blog that continues on some of the topics addressed in the book. [..]
To sum it up, I'm really excited about this book!I think this is something that every teacher should add to their library!

The OpenBook Series highlights Ooligan Press's commitment to transparency on our road toward sustainable publishing. We believe that disclosing the impacts of the choices we make will not only help us avoid unintentional greenwashing, but also serve to educate those who are unfamiliar with the choices available to printers and publishers. Efforts to produce this series as sustainably as possible focus on paper and ink sources, design strategies, efficient and safe manufacturing methods, innovative printing technologies, supporting local and regional companies, and corporate responsibility of our contractors. All titles in the OpenBook series will have the OpenBook logo on the front cover and a corresponding OpenBook Environmental Audit inside, which includes a calculated paper impact from the Environmental Defense Fund.

Cengage Advantage Books: The Pocket Wadsworth Handbook Review

Cengage Advantage Books: The Pocket Wadsworth Handbook
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've used the previous version, The Pocket Holt Handbook,
in the past and loved it because it was slim, visual,
colorful, and easy to use.
All the things I liked about the Holt are missing here.
It's thicker and more bloated. It's more expensive --
as usual for these things. And it's harder to find
things. All the color markers are gone. The brightness
is gone. It looks exactly like every dull, boring,
grammar handbook out there.
I guess I have no choice but to order it for my
students -- the alternatives are monsters that
weigh a ton and cost a fortune. However, I'll
continue to use my little Holt -- and encourage
my students to look for used copies if they can.
