NEW DOCUMENTARY: Whats On Your Plate [child nutrition farming organic kids new york city
Should we answer kids who ask HOMEWORK questions with correct answers but too much information?
Some presumed kid asked "What is the difference between PREHISTORY and HISTORY."
I told them the answer, and suggested that they learn to use a dictionary, thesarus, and encyclopedia. I quoted THE DICTIONARY DIRECTLY to display its effectiveness.
Then, I went on to describe the birth of writing, division of labor, currency, agriculture, and civilization. I continued on a tirade of WHERE the three first civilizations originated and about when and WHY they chose those locations.
What do you think of this approach? If they don't want to read it they do not have to. I think people will LIKE this approach to education, homework, and Yahoo Questions.
Personally, I like the resourcefulness of using the Internet to get homework done, and those kids ARE LEARNING the required information. I don't see a REAL PROBLEM, but it is fun to go on a long tirade which only requires a SHORT ANSWER.
"And, thank you for teaching the rest of my history class in the process."
yes we should can it is very appropriate

The Role of Trees in Sustainable Agriculture $301.11 Agroforestry reserach and development in Australia has been largely fragmented and many of the research results have never been published and are unknown. The purpose of this volume is to comprehensively review all of the research that has taken place in the field of agroforestry in Australia, including previously unpublished results, providing readers with the latest technical and economic information about using trees in agriculture for the control of salinity and erosion, for shelter and shade, and for the production of timber, fodder and minor forest products. The book provides information concerning planted trees within all of these categories and includes special review of the management of native vegetation on farms. These papers also examine research needs where appropriate. This book stems from the National Australian Conference on The Role of Trees in Sustainable Agriculture which took place in Albury, Victoria, Australia in October, 1991. Each national review paper is based upon a summary of six or more state review research and development papers, prepared specifically for the national conference. The book thus provides readers with a comprehensive overview of agroforestry rsearch in Australia, which is introduced and summarised in the first chapter. Author: Prinsley, R. T./ Prinsley, Roslyn Tamara Series Title: Clinical Medical Ethics Series Number: 43 Binding Type: Hardcover Number of Pages: 200 Publication Date: 1992/12/31 Language: English Dimensions: 9.21 x 6.14 x 0.56 inches |
