the first positive about the book is it"s recent publication of 2009
this was evident from the first example on our cahapter about the students not knowing al Qaeda was not a person - this is the occurence that frustrates teachers
i teach health science but the kids are not aware of current events like "bedbug outbreaks" - this is news they could read on the computer - i agree with the author
seriously???
i have decided to put my students in the "pool" next year and require current event reading on the computer twice a week - maybe then they will expand their own pool
SSR is important but mandatory reading in our content area is equally important
i will be doing what Gallagher suggests "Article of the week" - we now have USA TODAY
SENT TO US ON COMPUTER in the classroom by our librarian - NO EXCUSES
now the Kaiser Health Care Issues Exam for fun and competition at our HOSA competition may be something we could try
