Sir Patrick Geddes, 1854 - 1932, A Scottish Genius, Ballater, Royal Deeside, Sco Known as the father of town planning, he developed the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, advanced ideas for the renovation of old housing and the planning and building of new homes, and advocated using the Camera Obscura as a teaching medium. (Book Cities in evolution An introduction to the Town Planning movement and the Studies of Civics.) http://www.ballaterscotland.com/geddes/

Sir Patrick Geddes A Scottish Genius Ballater, Royal Deeside, Scotland “This is a green world, with animals comparatively few and small, and all dependent on the leaves. By leaves we live. Some people have strange ideas that they live by money. They think energy is generated by the circulation of coins. Whereas the world is mainly a vast leaf colony, growing on and forming a leafy soil, not a mere mineral mass: and we live not by the jingling of our coins, but by the fullness of our harvests.” Patrick Geddes A s our American cousins might say a "reality check" if ever there was one! About Patrick Geddes Sir Patrick Geddes Born: Ballater, Scotland, 1854 Life: International Died: Montpellier, France, 1932. Hugh MacDairmid by Sheila Maclean "...he was one of the outstanding thinkers of his generation, not merely in the world, and not only one of the greatest Scotsmen of the past century but in our entire history.”

142. Meet Me & My Class: Jennifer Chandler: Teaching Ideas For Grades 6-8 Find lesson plans and great ideas for fresh approaches for teaching. While my core area of instruction is language arts, I always profess that I teach http://teacher.scholastic.com/lessonplans/grades68teacher2004_2005.htm

Scholastic Home About Us Site Map Search ... Tools Jennifer Chandler After growing up in Memphis, Tennessee, I attended Furman University in South Carolina to extend my training in music and earn my degree in education. After graduation, I moved to Columbia, South Carolina and spent my first two years teaching in a small, rural elementary school in Gadsden, South Carolina. Through experience teaching all subject areas, I learned that my passion resides with language arts. So, I moved to a new district to teach this subject in the brand new magnet program in a middle school setting. Because of my background in the elementary level, I believe one of my strengths is transitioning students from an elementary setting to a more sophisticated middle school level. During my first six years of teaching, I have taught grades two through seven in some capacity. I have recently been declared a National Board Certified Teacher and am currently working on my Masters of Education with a focus on middle level literacy. I've recently accepted the position of Language Arts Department Chair at my school, and I'm even coaching soccer this year! Columbia, South Carolina, is a diverse city with many different school districts. My school is in Richland School District Two, near Fort Jackson, one of the largest army bases in the country. Because of our large army population, our school attendance district-wide can be transient. We must also provide a quality education for children living in disadvantaged areas as well as those living in affluent neighborhoods of Columbia. Our school has a population of about 1,200 students. Fifty-six percent of our students are African American, 38% Caucasian, 3% Asian, 3% Hispanic, and 0.4% are American Indian. About 40% of our students take part in our free or reduced lunch plan. We have an award-winning PTO and a competent faculty in our learning-centered school. We truly are one big family.

Title - Summer Song By - Susan Rowan Masters Subject - Language Arts Grade Level - 3-4 SUMMER SONG by Susan Rowan Masters Grade Level: 5-8 Teaching Ideas Summer Song appeals to a wide audience of young readers, many who may be facing difficult issues themselves. Because the plot deals realistically about a fractured family and a teen's struggle for control, students can better grasp what Etta May herself finally comes to understand: while we cannot control life, we can affect parts of it. Bits of humor lighten what could be a heavy tone as it asks readers to think about family, separation, and loss. Thematic Links Friendship Ask students to describe Etta May and Quentin's friendship. Etta May calls him her best friend. What are the qualities in Quentin that she says, "made me forget the rough edges?" Both of their mothers have left for different reasons. How might this strengthen their friendship? At first Etta May doesn't trust her neighbor Mrs. Moreles who she thinks is a snoop. How and when does her attitude change? Family Ask students to describe the relationship between Etta May and Gent, and Etta May and her mother Claire. Ask how Etta May deals with the feelings she has for Claire, bringing in during the discussion the word "ambivalence." At what point in the story does Etta May finally gain a sense that the three of them are truly a family? How does this affect what she does next?
