Numbers Cool Book
It took me about 30 years to write my first 100-page work. My son, however, loved numbers so much that he wrote his first 100+ page book at the age of five: The Numbers Cool Book.
This e-book would be great for young students just learning how to count or for older students who might want to write something of their own. Total word count comes in at roughly 1900 words, but that is spaced over numbers 1-208 on 157 pages with around 210 hand-drawn pictures of numbers doing things.

Compound Interest Article Analysis
The amazing story is that the Indians, taking their $16 when they sold Manhattan, could have invested it and bought it back (today) with several hundred million dollars left over.
The author makes a lot of assumptions. The worksheet questions some of the assumptions. You will think of more questions. The point is that we can't believe all we read, even if there are some facts as part of the article. Then again, compound interest is nice.

Fortune 500 Analysis - American Dreams
I used this as part of my American Dreams unit. Students look at the Fortune 500 (I used the top 100) and answer 10 questions. The website lets you sort by more factors now than when I created the assignment, so go ahead and add another few questions based on that ability. Or use it as a one page printable in class with a printed list of the top 100 companies based on revenue or profits.

Twelve years teaching in a suburban district near Milwaukee.<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Brian-Jaeger/e/B00LHHJP1K/">Check out my own creative writing here</a>
My wife taught four years, as well. She taught more of the Advanced classes and less of the creative ones.
Teaching style
Use of technology in the classroom when useful. Taught several classes completely online. Emphasis on Cultural Literacy and background knowledge in order to understand literature and how to write, but also to connect with other classes.
My wife was the typical martyr teacher who planned until 7pm on a Friday for the next week. Her lessons are organized and usable out of the box, whereas a teacher might have to step outside the box to see how cool my lessons can be.
Awards & shining teacher moments
My honor was to have students published in my creative writing classes, students who otherwise disliked school or
English class to succeed, and for students to tell me today that they remember lessons from over a decade ago.
Many of the honors and awards from my past will do little to shape my future, but the fact that people like you are purchasing and using some of these lessons that took me hours upon hours of my own time to create is a great honor. Some of these units were important in the lives of students I was able to reach, and there's magic in a few of the assignments. I just hope that these downloads being here for you can make your life a little easier.
