This is a complete literature unit with connections to Vocabulary, Science, Math, Culture, Art, Political Science, History, Geography and Logical Thought Processes. Vocabulary lessons are particularly valuable.
The sample lesson plan at the front of the book is in outline form for the entire unit and connects across the curriculum. Provided are testing materials to determine the level of learning (answer keys are included.)

I was looking forward to teaching using this Literature Unit, but alas, I did not have the opportunity to teach this grade level, (other than student teaching.)

With a scanner these lessons could easily be adapted to the computer.

The vocabulary learned from this unit is worth the full retail price of the book x 3. Connecting the vocabulary to the journal-writing portion enhances the learning.

Mapping ethical and political entanglements and dilemmas of the globalizing US, "Feeling Global" articulates commitments to the liberal welfare-state at the same time it pushes outward towards modes of transnational solidarity in the struggle for human rights and democratized forms of culture. This is a brave, elegant, and timely book cognizant of global/local dialectics that are now pulling at the nation state and unravelling the paradoxes of liberal humanism. No "monarch-of-all-I-survey," Bruce Robbins yet hazards a wry perspective of cosmopolitan globailty and, chapter by chapter, articulates the paradoexes of feeling global yet remaining national in struggles and claims. The readings of English Patient, Kincaid, and the au pair postcolonial post-Bronte novels are worth the price of any cultural studies and hyper-literary admission. The chapters on his father's aerial military work in US army situate the claims of globalized vision within an ethical and political frame that has scale, balance, pungency, and wit. This is a fine addition to the cultural criticism of globalization, without the arrgonace or aridity of social science sway: NYU Press can be applauded for its "Cultural Front" series, and this suavely wrought synthesis of feeling global and national, being cosmopolitan yet entangled in American dirty roots.

The book, Pooh's Wishing Star. THis book was a great book! I believe. I liked how it had a wishing star in it. One time Pooh took all of his friend's up to the hill so they could make a wish. I liked how he thought of his friend's like that. Like how he wanted his friend's to be happy. So when little kids read this book they will learn that you should care about other peoples feelings. I hope you get the chance to read this awesome book. Your kids will learn a valuable lesson.

I first read this book shortly after it was published. I have returned to it after reading Judge Posner's latest (2002) screed on Public Intellectuals.

Professor Robbins (English Department, Rutgers)has written a fine book about the nature of intellectualism and the social construct. The issues he addresses include the multicultural postmodern left and the need to establish a common ethos.

It is a great shame that this fine work is not readily available in e-book form.

I think this was a fun book to read. How friends stick together, through thick and thin. Even though you may be so scared, but your friend's in trouble so you put your self out on the line to help them. I think that's what friendship is all about! It teaches kids how to help other people and make friends. It doesn't matter how big or little you are, you can help people at any age, and this book helps kids realize this. You make more friends when you help and encourage people. In this book, it shows how close these friends are and what they will do for each other. That's why I enjoyed this book so much, because I know how much friends mean. You need friends to get through life from day, to day, and kids need to know this. I would recommend this book to many.

While reading this book with my 5 and 10 year old, I found myself pleasantly surprised. At times, Pooh's editorial comments can be wordy and although the meaning escapes the kids understanding, I found some of the comments to be very insightful and worthwhile. Aside from these moments, the book kept the kids interest and we all laughed out loud throughout the book. As in almost all Pooh stories, we learn about acceptance of other's diffences and empathy, as well as camaraderie and friendship.

Pooh and his friends were having a best costume contest. Pooh started to trick or treat the honeybees and they started chasing them. They ran and finally got away from them. I think this is a good story for kids to read it teaches you how friends will always stick together no matter what through everything. They wont leave you behind ever or make you feel left out. Rabbit said he didn't like halloween. Piglet didn't have a costume. Piglet stayed in his house because he was frightened of halloween, so Pooh arrived at his house and visited him. Pooh was in trouble, and Piglet had to save him if he was afraid or not, because his friend was in trouble so he came out and tryed helping him and scared everyone. Everyone collided. Pooh said Piglet saved them all, they all gathered. Piglet said he went as Pooh's very best and very bravest bestfriend for halloween!
