51 Wacky We-Search Reports: Face the Facts With Fun

This book is full of fun ideas of projects for kids! I immediately put one into practice, and had my 6th graders write a diary from the point of view of a water molecule. I was able to assess their understanding of the water cycle, and they enjoyed it so much! Even my struggling students loved the project. Love it!

I'm a high school teacher who bought this book for creative ideas that I could change up for my high school history classroom. Last year, I used four of the ideas I found in the book to help students express themselves outside of formal writing or formal presentations. For example, we studied Greek philosophers and their ideas that have remained with us for over 2000 years. I picked up an idea from the book and twisted it a bit. I had the kids create posters with quotations from modern people that the students think will resonate 2000 years from now. They also had to support the modern quotations with a bit of writing, but they loved putting posters with their quotations out in the hall.This is the book for you if you're an active teacher and just need some new creative ideas.

GREAT work by Barry Lane. I got lots of fresh realistic ideas from this book. My students have enjoyed the new approach to research writing!

wonderful book for English teachers and ALL teachers of all ages. Great resource for writing across the curriculum. With some modification these could be used for any age group.

This book gives detailed ways to "write" a report. It's a good resource for kids or teachers. I've marked my copy with at least thirty post its. Very useful!

This book has very creative ideas, and they're easy to adapt to whatever I'm teaching. I've used a few ideas already and they went over well.

I had a lot of hopes to do something original in my classes but I think the ideas and activities are over the top sometimes. Maybe it could fit for little kind but I'm not sure they see the topics the book work on.

Have done two of the projects, bookshelf and $5 bill redesign. Nothing too fantastic, but some good ideas to break up the routine. Seems the better students get more acceleration from these projects than those that are not so good, but I think everyone had fun.

Fantastic book, such a great way to engage students in real, creative responses for demonstrating their understanding of various concepts.
