Kobrin, a history teacher at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Virginia, presents contrasting styles of teaching and lesson planning that illustrate why some types of lessons work and why some don't. He provides detailed reconstructions of student interactions in the classroom, along with numerous sample handouts, exams, and assessment instructions used for lessons. At the close of each chapter, he analyzes the teachers' actions, the motives behind them, and their effects on events in the classroom. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
