| May 17, 2009 - 06:23 PM We teach "Roll of Thunder" in our 8th grade reading classes. we have not had a problem with any of the racist comments in the book; however, the teacher prefaces the book as being a period piece.

| April 07, 2009 - 06:01 AM Janie, Your query about "free riders" in the cooperative classroom groups. Three points: 1. Let the delegation of duty be very clear right from the start. However, the assigned duty should be commensurate with ability - perceived or assumed. 2. Avoid giving the impression that some assignments are superior to others as the ones assigned "mundane" tasks will protest by not contributing. And last, keep an eye on the identified "culprits" and make sure you provide the necessary encouragement and scaffolding to enable them pull through with the task at hand. | ||||||||
