Description
The Teacher Edition (2017) has been expanded, re-organized, and rewritten. It contains a teacher's introduction which includes an explanation of the classical approach to history and teaching the Socratic method. The complete student book is included with answers filled in. Although the answer key is probably necessary, the real value in this manual is the teacher's introductory information. There's so much useful information here! Starting with a brief introduction to the nature of the Take a Stand! courses, the "how to use" portion takes the teacher/writing mentor step-by-step through the process. Included is how to schedule the lessons and an explanation of each step in the process, plus a wonderful section on grading the essays along with suggestions for making this easy on yourself. (Hint: you don't have to grade the whole essay with every assignment; sometimes you can grade just the thesis statement, or the evidence used or the conclusion.) The author provides an "explained grading rubric" (i.e. what does a score of 4 mean) as well as the different categories that should be graded (i.e. thesis, evidence used, evidence explained, conclusion, and pre-writing activities). Since it helps to have examples when you're just learning how to grade certain types of essays/papers, the author kindly provides multiple samples along with grading notes for each. He also provides examples of one-, three-, and five-paragraph essays. A nice plus is that although the general information in each of the TEs is similar, the author has fully adapted each to the specific course, including the sample essays.Teacher editions tend to be 80-90 pgs, pb.
