I am looking for a worksheet that's purpose is for students to follow the directions. Specifically one that has all this stuff to do, but if they read the directions it would say to do nothing. Does anyone have one they could send me or a website where I can find one? It is for my 4th graders!

My nine-year-old freezes up when it comes time to start his monthly project for school. Generally he has to do a 3-5 paragraph book report for his third grade class. A craft project of some sort goes along with the book report. Invariably come Saturday morning with a week to go before it is do we are left arguing with him about starting. Just to get him to write the first sentence, pencil to paper. We brainstorm his report with him, help him come up with the idea for the first sentence, even suggest some wording. But all this time he deflects everything we are trying to do. He's hungry, he's tired,has a headache, can't remember, every excuse in the book. Eventually the whining becomes so annoying we start threatening, no game cube, no tv, sent to room, etc.
How can we make this procedure more automatic. I've taught high school English and am familiar with educational theory, but am stuck when it comes to my own son.
Suggestions?

Why or Why Not? Also, are you a student, parent, educator, or from what viewpoint is your opinion?

I do teach preschool children & some of them have started to do reading. I was just wondering what are some good ideas of books to do for reading.

I have done one of the flower & killer whale explaining each part of the flower & killer whale. Is there any other ideas???

The ones that do do reading do have books to take home for reading but this is just an extra bit of work during the work cycle

I've learned "Beowulf" in English literature class.
Eventhough "Beowulf" belongs to English literature, it is the story of Denmark and Sweden.
So, I'm wondering if "Beowulf" is being taught in Denmark or Sweden.
Do they regard "Beowulf" as their own literature?

I'm embarrassed that I don't know the answer to this question, but I'm hoping to get some help here. I teach research, and I'm noticing that oftentimes facts, statistics, and quotations are used in non-academic essays (e.g., editorials, magazines, etc.), and these are rarely cited. This is in sharp contrast to academic essays where such information MUST be cited. Can anyone tell me why it is not standard practice to cite non-academic essays?

The grading scale is A, P, B, BB

I believe receiving a B is similar to receiving a "D"

My question is for Elem Teachers who use the scale of A, P, B, BB.

How often do you hand out B's and BB's

For example in a classroom of 20 first graders how would the grades looks on the reports? Lots of B's? or very few?
