Not what I expected.
With a title like "Lesson Plans for the Busy Librarian," this book seemed like a must have for me, a busy librarian. When I received the item I was very disappointed to find that none of the lessons were that unique or interesting. In addition to being the same old thing, the clip art is subpar, and the organization is very random. Let me just say this, I have owned the book for over a year and am yet to use a single lesson plan from it.

Save your money...
As a "busy librarian" the title drew the money from me in a hurry, but I was disappointed by the lack of depth- lots of coloring!Occasionally I use some of the reproducibles when I have a sub, however the quality of the graphics are poor.

Better books out there
I am an elementary school librarian. While this book has a few good lesson plans, I find the majority of them to be overly simplistic. Also, a lot of the graphics on the reproducibles are of very poor quality.

Time saver for teachers too!
Although directed to librarians, this book is also fantastic for elementary teachers.It's indexed to the Language Arts standards, learning styles and Multiple Intelligences. It contains patterns, instructions, hands-on activities and more, for literature-based multi-disciplinary units.A super resource! ... Read more

With eleven comprehensive and classroom tested lessons plans
Co-authored by classroom education experts Laura and Ellen Flynn, Teaching Writing With Rubrics: Practical Strategies And Lesson Plans For Grades 2-8 is a very strongly recommended compendium of "teacher friendly" step-by-step instructions on creating a classroom writing program using rubrics to explain at a glance what is being taught, how it is taught, and how the students will be graded. Enhanced with eleven comprehensive and classroom tested lessons plans; effective methods for adapting rubrics for high school students, gifted students, English language learners; even students with learning disabilities; and working strategies for evaluating every step of the writing process, Teaching Writing With Rubrics reduces subjectivity and increases objectivity with respect to assessing both teacher and student accountability. ...
