nateach re: Teaching Classroom Interviewing
Dear Mr. Charnock,
Thank you for the free download. I just wanted to inform you (rather than ask a question) that I am a science teacher and downloaded your Teaching Classroom Interviewing as a possible 'beginning the new academic year' opener. I may or may not be able to use it. I may have downloaded it but will not be rating and providing feedback unless I am able to use it. Just and FYI.
Regardless, I am thanking you for the opportunity to choose!

You're welcom, Nateach. I'm sure there are creative people who can find interviewing an appropriate warming activity in classes other than English. I always kept my class all day (elementary or junior high), so this was not a decision with which I had to deal. Good luck, and if you use it and it works I'd like to know how it went to build some cohesion among the students.

Hi Ms. Charnock,
Just ran across your Teaching Classroom Interviewing in my search for outstanding free products to include in my Five Outstanding Freebies post on my blog. I'm posting a link to this product today! May I respectfully request that you create a colorful, eye-catching cover page and submit this item for inclusion in the 10 Free Downloads Newsletter. I think it will be chosen, and I also think you'll get lots of good feedback.

Hi, Margaret,

First of all, I am a mister/Mr. (no problem). Thanks for liking the interview technique/s; it is much appreciated. I have always strived to be as clear and student-involving as possible in my teaching. I have about 15 more articles to place, but I don't find this site as friendly as advertised. I'm not sure what you mean by a "colorful, eye-catching" cover page. Don't even know what or where the Downloads Newsletter is, but I can search. I am very busy at present, but will attempt that colorful--did you mean that literally? (I do like to create in Word, but it can be time consuming.) It might be easier if I crate it and send it to you personally and you can place it? Or is that possible. My address is: charnockjtc@yahoo.com.

Thanks again,
Jim Charnock

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

James Charnock, M.Ed, a teacher of 30 years at the elementary and junior high levels, is the author of many articles (some included herein) that have appeared in teacher magazines and professional journals. THE CREATIVE TEACHER: ACTIVITIES FOR LANGUAGE ARTS (GRADES 4 THROUGH 8 AND UP) is his second book--from which some of his TpT articles came. He has written one other book, MT. HOREB: THE LITTLE WHITE SCHOOLHOUSE ON LITTLE DEER CREEK, about the memories and 180-year history of one of Maryland’s last one-room schoolhouses, which he attended as a primary student; it is also a treatise on the issue of smaller schools. In addition to creating educationally-oriented market products, he was for several years a feature writer for a national reading journal ("The Reading Teacher" of the International Reading Association) and has served on the editorial board of a national English journal ("Language Arts" of the National Council of Teachers of English). He has always preferred the action of the classroom, and as a certified reading-language arts specialist, has also served as a mentor teacher. Former students have honored him four times (less than one-half of one percent of teachers are so honored even twice) by placing him in Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers—“The best teachers in America selected by the best students.” They chose him as “the teacher who made a difference.” He has also been listed in Who’s Who in the East. Mr. Charnock lives in a suburb of Philadelphia where he continues as a freelance writer, often serving as a conference seminar speaker on the teaching of writing and middle school/junior high classroom art. He also volunteers his time to the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity and has taught an adult course in paper art.

MY TEACHING STYLE

In both math and English-Language Arts my style has always been what is now faddishly called "differentiation". This approach was recognized and blurbed about by a prominent endorser of my 2011 book, THE CREATIVE TEACHER: ACTIVITIES FOR LANGUAGE ARTS (GRADES 4 THROUGH 8 AND UP).
