TEACHING HISTORY THROUGH DRAMA AND SONGHistory comes alive in the classroom when kids take on characters,and learn through lines, verse and song. Middle-school-erscan learn about medieval history through acting out monologues from Good Masters, Sweet Ladies, and through writing newmonologues themselves. They can understand the role of religion in medieval history through presenting a staged reading of afourteenth century morality play. Older elementary kids internalize American history through doing plays and songs in the classroom that they still remember when they take their US History AP tests.

GEOCACHING! COMBINING TECHNOLOGY, PHYSICAL EDUCATION, AND GEOGRAPHYWant to get your students using technology without being glued to the computer? Start a Geocaching club, enrichment class,or even a field trip for your middle schoolers! Students will learn to use Google Earth to locate caches (hidden "treasures") inyour local area (or anywhere in the world!), unscramble clues about where the "treasure" is hidden, then use a GPS device to find the cache. Hikes and finds can range from easy to difficult, and can take a couple hours to all day. Physical Education studies, maps, latitude/longitude, history of the area, digital photography, study of plants/rocks/animals of the area all can be incorporated into the lesson, and taught on the hike. Students (and their parents) will love joining you on these expeditions, and will likely start geocaching on their own, thanks to your inspiration!

LEADING A CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOP: TEACHING ANALYSIS FROM THE INSIDE OUTWe all want our students to think analytically, yet we often jump right to the product (i.e. analyze the use of imagery in "Ledaand the Swan," or discuss the importance of setting in "The Storm") without fully examining or articulating the process and/or reasons for analysis. In this workshop, we will engage in an "inside-out" approach. Rather than beginning with canonized texts, and asking students to tease out the authorial techniques, we will look at ways to use the student's own creative work as a starting point, and then look closely, through a student-based and non-threatening forum, at how and why texts come to construct meaning. We will explore ways to prepare students for this activity, clarify the respective roles of writer and critic, and structure the discussion for maximum efficiency and objectivity. We will also anticipate the pitfalls of this approach, and practice ways to circumvent any possible problems. Handouts and sample stories will be provided, but participants are also invited to bring in twenty+ copies of a two to four pages work of fiction by one of their own students to be "workshopped" in one of the practice sessions.

GEOMETRY OF THE CONIC SECTIONSMost high school curricula seem to forget that the conic sections are geometric objects! The presenter will use interactive software (both two and three dimensional) to construct the conics, prove their reflection properties, and show that they are indeed the result of slicing a cone. He will explain in several ways that contrary to popular belief, all parabolas have exactly the same shape. Finally, he will explore a question about soccer that unexpectedly leads to a hyperbola. Along the way, participants will see that the computer can make these ideas accessible to any student with a background in basic geometry.

FAMILY MATTERS: DEALING WITH TODAY'S PARENTSEducators everywhere are more and more concerned about students and their families. Across the country they report that students are harder to reach and teach, their developmental profiles are more uneven, their attention and motivation harder tosustain, their language and behavior more provocative. And they complain that parents are more anxious about their children's success, yet less available to support and guide them, and are more demanding and critical of the school. These changes present new challenges to schools. Drawing on his recent book, Family Matters: How Schools Can Cope with the Crisis in Childrearing, Rob Evans will outline key dilemmas facing educators and ways to respond, calling for a stronger assertion of school values and suggesting new - and old - ways to cope.

With a dearly held student centeredmission, we felt confident that we had been addressing the social and emotional needs of our students, but much of this workwas on an ad hoc basis, and little was documented. A challenge from our board to "prove it" spurred the creation of a three-year, embedded "Life Skills" curriculum that is tied into our academic program.

The framework for collaboration and conversation among participating teachers is the same regardless of the question each teacher poses.

This session will demonstrate and use clickers, show how to make clicker presentations from start to finish, and how to utilize the results for individual students. A ten-fifteen per cent increase in comprehension with minimal effort. Wow!

ENHANCING SMART BOARD USE IN THE LANGUAGE CLASSROOMRather than using it merely as a projector or worse, allowing it to take up space in a crowded classroom, teachers can easily take advantage of a smartboard's enormous potential for enhancing learning in the language classroom. This presentation willdemonstrate how language educators can use this tool to make their materials much more engaging, integrate multimedia intotheir lessons, create endlessly duplicable and editable documents, save paper, and make communication with students more efficient.

ENGAGING MIND, HEART, AND LANGUAGE THROUGH THE LONG TERM PROJECT: AN APPROACH TO SECOND-LANGUAGE LEARNINGBrain research, coupled with a philosophy of speaking from the heart, can create meaningful language-learning experiences for students of varied learning styles. Two to three highly successful, long-term projects that can be readily adapted to different languages and disciplines will be presented. While the theme of each project is different, artistic (French Impressionism), historical (the French Resistance), and literary (The Little Prince), all of them reflect a fundamental commitment to integrating the target language, culture, and learner through a steady progression of innovative assessments that engage both mind and heart.

USING AN AUDIO DEVICE FOR LESSONS, FEEDBACK, AND ASSESSMENTSThis session will focus on developing lesson plans and assessments using a personal digital voice recorder. The session aims to demonstrate that these recordings CAN be graded objectively, and are just as valid as written work. We will work on writing clear rubrics and putting the technology to its best use, rather than using audio for the sake of using audio. Participants can expect to have the tools to incorporate a meaningful audio component into their language program by the endof the session.

ROUNDTABLE IN LIBRARY: SCHOOL LIBRARIANS PLUGGED INSometimes it feels as though everyone at school has colleagues to mentor and be mentored by. School librarians can feel a bitdisconnected in the midst of it all. Whether you are a lone ranger, work with a staff of librarians and media specialists, or are involved and active in many library professional groups, we hope you will join in this roundtable discussion to explore the many options and avenues open to us for plugging into the community of school librarians. Let's share our favorite formal and informal organizations, associations, discussion boards, blogs, websites, publications, and other media that pick us up anddust us off when we need somebody to lean on, a great idea, a quick solution, or a good laugh.

A TEASPOON OF POP-CULTURE MAKES LIFE'S BIG QUESTIONS GO DOWNTalking ethics, religion, metaphysics, and meaning with adolescents is not always easy. Often times, it seems they'd rather beout tweeting, listening to their iPods, or on their Facebook accounts making bumper stickers along with the other twenty-three million users doing the same thing. It turns out that not only are these not mutually exclusive, but they may just be whatwe need as a catalyst - the teaspoon of sugar for deeper introspection. Join the presenter as he discusses techniques that haveproven useful in sparking engaged, thoughtful discussion at the high school level using pop culture as the platform. Find out how to use bumper stickers, jokes, songs, movies, sports, comedy acts and more to engage students, along with various applications and spin-off assignments in numerous disciplines to keep them engaged after they have left the classroom. The presenter's third book, If You Can Read This: The Philosophy of Bumper Stickers, comes out in late March.
