Elementary Science Methods: A Constructivist Approach (Textbook)
ELEMENTARY SCIENCE METHODS: A CONSTRUCTIVIST APPROACH, Fifth Edition, is based on two fundamental and complementary ideas: it is more important for children to learn how to do science than to learn about science, and elementary science teachers do not need to know a great deal of science but rather should be co- inquirers with their students.
Treatment of Error offers a realistic, well-reasoned account of what teachers of multilingual writers need to know about error and how to put what they know to use. As in the first edition, Ferris again persuasively addresses the fundamental error treatment questions that plague novice and expert writing specialists alike: What types of errors should teachers respond to? When should we respond to them? What are the most efficacious ways of responding to them? And ultimately, what role should error treatment play in the teaching of the process of writing?
In this sweet little book, Kipper meets a little gosling who is in dire need of a bath... and who can only make one sound. "Honk" captures well the tender spirit of the Kipper the Dog series. This 16-page book (only half of which is text) is sure to be a hit with any young fan of the series. Printed on a heavy, glossy stock, it should hold up well with little hands that are ready to transition out of board books.
