Jivin' Johnny's Classroom Teacher's Emergency Lesson Plans for Elementary and High Schools

Reneé B. Meloche is an instructional consultant with the Halton Board
of Education.

This nifty little book, which contains more than 90 user-friendly
lessons and projects, describes hands-on activities designed to
stimulate students’ thinking and creative skills. It is organized
according to shorter lessons and projects (like getting a million-dollar
grant for your school), longer lessons and projects (such as creating
your own newspaper or magazine), and red-phone emergency classes, with
subject-specific suggestions. Although there are plenty of ideas for
interesting and engaging activities, specific lesson objectives and
methods for evaluation are not included. As a source of quick and easy
exercises, this handy volume provides ample variety of suggestions.
