Think for Yourself
by Cynthia MacgregorHow many times have you faced a dilemma and said to yourself: "Uh-oh, what do I do now?" And don't you hate that feeling that goes with it, that "uh-oh feeling," when you're facing a problem that you don't have an answer for, a what-do-I-do-now problem? Life is full of problems. Sometimes you know what the answer is to a problem. Maybe you don't like the answer, but you know what you're supposed to do. Like when your friend asks you to help him cheat on a test. You know you're supposed to say, "No". The problem is finding a way to say No without seeming like a bad friend. Think for Yourself is to help you deal with life's dilemmas--whether manners, morals, values, or even very serious situations that you just don't know how to handle. We haven't thought of every problem you're likely to have to deal with. Everyone's life is different. But what we want to do is two things: 1. Discuss some of the problems you might face and possible ways to deal with them; and 2. Help you learn to think in a creative way to help you solve other problems on your own. Are you ready? Let's get started solving life's dilemmas!

Thinking Through Analogies: Grades 3-6
by Bonnie L. RisbyAn analogy is a comparison between two things. It points out the similarities between two things that might be different in all other respects. Analogies cause us to think analytically about forms, uses, structures, and relationships. This all-time favorite resource not only gives students a chance to practice solving analogies, but also invites them to open their minds to a completely new way of analyzing the elements of analogies. Each page introduces several categories of analogies. Each category expands students' way of viewing the world and contrasting and comparing elements. Thinking Through Analogies also instills the tools whereby students can create relationships to enhance their creative and formal writing, as well as to heighten their critical thinking in test taking. Other books that teach analogies are Analogies for Beginners and Analogies for the 21st Century.Grades 3-6

(Does he have to be nice to his annoying little sister?) And if Mrs. Simms doesn't actually see him doing a good deed, does it even count?A warm, funny return to elementary school from master storyteller Spinelli.
