Each week, Education World presents our Editors Choices for the best books for teaching about popular classroom themes. Check out our choices and add your own recommendations to the Readers Voices section of this weeks themed booklists:
Geography
Geography lessons can make a "world" of difference in students' knowledge -- and in their test scores. That's because geography is multidisciplinary by nature. These lessons teach geography -- and math, language, and cultural literacy. Included: Dozens of ideas for teaching about the world of geography.
Volcanoes
Use these lessons to teach about nature's explosive spectacle.
Web Literacy
Lessons and resources for teaching Internet literacy in the classroom.
More Write Stuff
Engage students with writing activities that involve them in writing round-robin stories, "indescribably" excellent descriptions, persuasive alien essays, tabloid news stories, and books about younger students they interview.
Friday Fun
This fun game builds vocabulary and creativity.
