Teaching English Language Learners: A Differentiated Approach

Carol Rothenberg, Douglas Fisher

Prentice Hall, 2006

Teaching English Language Learners: A Differentiated Approach
I would recommend this book to all teachers who teach English language learners. It is packed with research based strategies and approaches. The marginal questions on many pages encourage the reader to reflect on the information presented and question how it could be applied to the classroom. This is a must read. I have read many books in my professional career as an ESOL teacher and program ...

50 Content Area Strategies for Adolescent Literacy (50 Teaching Strategies Series)

1 review
Douglas Fisher, William G. Brozo, ...

Prentice Hall, 2006

Buy this too if you're buying Improving Adolescent Literacy: Strategies at Work
I think this book is a great additional to a content area teacher's library, but is probably the second Doug Fisher book to read. After reading Improving Adolescent Literacy: Strategies at Work I understand better where and when to use the easily described/pictured strategies and am confident that I can sell the importance of those activities to my middle schoolers. Strategies are 1-2 pages, ...

Difficult Conversations

126 reviews
Sheila Heen, Roger Fisher

Random House Audio, 1999

Amazing insight into Human Communications
This book offers incredibly helpful information about dealing with those conversations we all dread having--the ones that are typically the most important and potentially life-altering. The authors were part of the Harvard Negotiation Project(and helped with the Iran Hostage Crisis, among other major negotiations). I found this to be the most helpful, insightful, and cogent presentation of how ...

This book is a must have for any classroom teacher, support specialist, administrator, and curriculum specialist. In an era of standardized testing and out-of-controll pacing guides, this book reestablishes the goal of student success within the classroom. Lots of great ideas.

Improving Adolescent Literacy: Strategies at Work

3 reviews
Douglas B. Fisher, Nancy Frey

Prentice Hall, 2003

Practical and down-to-earth
Fisher and Frey provide an excellent array of strategies that have employed in the classroom. The beauty of this book is that it is based on their own classroom experience at the secondary level--not merely one from past experiences, but on-going and current experiences as they continue to work at San Deigo state and their local high school. Their text is much better than the usual text one ...

Birds: A Book of Hanging Ornaments

1 review
Sally Fisher

Harry N Abrams, 1997

Excellent for "bird-proofing" your windows!
Not only are these quite beautiful and inexpensive holiday ornaments, they turn out to be potentially life-saving decorations for your windows! I love birds and feed them to help them through the Autumn and Winter when their natural food sources are in short supply. But there are times when the light is "just right" (or wrong, depending upon your point of view) and windows become a perfect ...

Steel; From the Iron Age to the Space Age

2 reviews
Douglas Alan Fisher

HarperCollins, 1967

Covers everything; really enjoyable
Too bad this one's out of print! Fisher discusses just about everything there is to know about steel. Not in super detail, of course--yet he manages to explain: the history of iron/steel making; how modern steel is made; how chemistry affects the physical properties of steel; how an American steel mill is set up. Fisher's writing is easy and enjoyable. The subject may sound dull: ``Steel''. ...

John Douglas Close Fisher

[Published for the] Alcuin Club [by] S.P.C.K, 1970

BAPTISM / CHRISMATION (confirmation)/COMMUNION
This volume is probably not of interest to non Christians unless they happen also to be students of medieval western history or of the histories of religions. Eastern Christians may find the documents of interest as they illustrate the ancient customs of the west still current in their eastern communities. This remarkable volume was first published in 1965 as #XLVII in the Alcuin Club ...

Glencoe Literature: Reading With Purpose, Course 2

1 review

McGraw-Hill/Glencoe, 2007

Worst Textbook Ever Seen
This is the worst textbook I have ever seen. It will behoove you to be forewarned it is entirely grounded in outcome-based educational methods. My stepdaughter has an online correspondence course using it. Almost everything in it is from the 20th-21st centuries (from the beginning of the decline of Western Civilization onward), the rest from the 19th century. So, there is no Shakespeare, Chaucer, ...

Imperfect Innocence

James Rondeau, Gary Sangster, ...

Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art/Contemporary Art Museum, Baltimore, 2003

thought out, down to the title
I found this book to be a useful tool for me. It stimulated an interest in photography that was always obscured by my interest for the other visual arts. there are some real gems in here that you will come back to, time and again. you will not be let down by the quality of the images, the work selected, or how the book is presented. it is just a shame that the palm beach contemporary museum ...

David L. Clawson, James Fisher, ...

Prentice Hall, 2003

As a text
The general feel of this book is dark and dull. Graphics are oddly benign,upside, the Geography in Action sections offer realistic insight into Geographic concepts. Clawson and Fisher tried.

Teaching Literacy through the Arts (Tools for Teaching Literacy)

1 review
Nan L. McDonald, Douglas Fisher

The Guilford Press, 2006

Good if you know nothing about teaching with the arts
This book is set up as a text book, with anticipatory guides, questions and activities for the reader to do. I was expecting a book with too many ideas, but instead this book is for those that aren't familiar with the arts or how to incorporate them into the classroom. There are better books out there, and this is more of a stroking of the authors' worth than anything else. I was very ...
