Bio
I am a person who really likes to read and write and to share what I learned with all my education. My page will mainly be book reviews and critiques of old and new books that I have read and will read. There will also be other bits, too.

Teaching Children About Career and Work
This is a continuation of the my graduate paper 'Teaching Children About Career and Work'. This part starts with the developmental theories that help with teaching these two ideas. Hope you can use some or all of it somehow.

Teaching Children About Work and Career
This is another paper I did for another counseling course I had taken a while ago called 'Career and Lifestyle Counseling'. It received a good grade of an 'A-'. This is a course that teaches and shows how a career can shape us and it covers the various theories that can affect our choice(s) of what we want to be and how we go about choosing what we want to do with out lives.

Adlerian
This is a continuation to my graduate paper on Adlerian counseling. The students in this first graduate level counseling course had to pick a theory that would probably and hopefully be a part of our counseling career. As you have been reading my other articles this is the theory that I was the most familiar with for I did work with young children in a day care setting as well as using some activities working with the elderly who had Dementia and/or Alzheimer's disease. Now for the continuation of the original 15-page paper.

American history
Continuance of previous lesson for 'Rise of the American Nation'. Economic ferment Not only was unemployment high but also for thousands of other people prices were rising and it was difficult to make ends meat. Today we call this 'inflation' (write on blackboard)-during a period of inflation with prices soaring a fixed amount of money will buy fewer and fewer goods. Some with few or a limited amount will find it hard to buy food and clothing.

American history
Chapter Two - The British Colonies Grow Strong 1620-1750 This is another chapter in the text 'Rise of the American Nation' that I used as a student. As I did for chapter one these lectures/lessons will be broken down into smaller chunks, as I learned in my graduate education.

American history
The first two colonies The first Roanoke colony failed and in 1587 a second group settled on Roanoke Island and then there was a Spanish attempt to invade England and in 1588 prevented Raleigh sending fresh supplies then in 1591 a relief expedition finally reached Roanoke but the settlers were gone. No one really knows what happened to the people of the 'Lost Colony'. This did help to strengthen England's interest in the New World.

American History
Columbus leads Europeans to explore New World Columbus headed directly west and started the 'Geographic Revolution'. (Term on blackboard) On October 12, 1492, landed what called San Salvador - now Watling's Island in the Bahamas. After several attempts, he still believed that he failed in his goals and died in 1506. Vasco Nunez de Balboa discovered a new ocean in 1513 as he starts across the Isthmus of Panama. (The teacher shows the students or have them locate on a map the Isthmus of Panama.) Balboa is seeking gold that Indians tell him that lies in the west. He is led through a hot forest and many hardships and finally at the foot of a mountain catches a glimpse of the 'South Sea' now the Pacific Ocean.

I hope there are some teachers both old and new and even student teachers out there that might like some blackboard notes for an American history class that could be either 9th or 10th grade. I am a person who has studied teacher education, but decided to become an educational writer after working for 15 years in the nursing field. As an educational writer I plan on writing and sharing various lectures and lessons dealing with all the subject areas that I have studied from courses in early and elementary education through the high school years, and I am also thinking about offering some of my own lectures for the courses I had in undergraduate and graduate education. The fields that I have studied were Human services/counseling; Practical nursing; Humanities with all the subjects that will entail and I hope that some of these lectures will come in handy if only for research purposes.
