The Digital Textbook – Now Available! (the former "Reader")
The Digital Textbook is an online anthology which offers students an array of great reading experiences. The readings included on this page are specifically intended for my weekly reading assignment. I do my best to screen and evaluate these sites for their content. If you encounter anything on these web sites you think is inappropriate, please inform me immediately.
The Digital Textbook New name ... familiar materials!
Materials
The materials in this section come from my own classroom. This represents a major new direction for ec.com: curriculum units. I am creating packets that include all the handouts I create for a unit. These packets and the contents should not be seen as complete but rather working drafts of what I do, what I try. For example, the Odyssey Unit included here has materials I used this year to great effect. We did other things, of course, but I do not have time to account for those; nor do I have time to write up detailed explanations of how I used these documents. That's why I write books: to explain the what, how, when, and why. Here you get what the kids get: the handouts. But I think you can see pretty much what I did. The pages in the packet come pretty close to the order in which I taught or used them.
