Roberta L. Sejnost offers an alternative to the usual lecture format to help teachers create coherent, effective lessons for extended blocks of instructional time, no matter what the subject or grade level. This book provides teachers with a four-phase lesson planning framework and numerous teaching strategies to build higher-level thinking skills and increase student learning. Teachers can use practical, research-based methods and tools such as cooperative learning, quality questioning, and graphic organizers to reach secondary students. The author includes reproducible black line masters for classroom use, plus activities for: preparing students for learning by fostering their prior knowledge, helping them set a purpose for reading and learning, and teaching the vocabulary necessary for understanding; helping students actively interact with and process what they have learned; and, clarifying and reinforcing content and taking learning to the next level. "Tools for Teaching in the Block" enables educators to take advantage of block scheduling to promote reading, writing, and critical thinking in adolescents.
