Payday: A Personal Finance Simulation is a hands-on, real-life simulation that will give your students a chance to experience their futures in a fun and exciting way! This is a great supplement to any life skills, personal finance, or consumer education course. This classroom-tested teacher s resource product provides over 40 reproducible masters that will guide your students through the steps of managing their personal finances. Students begin the simulation by searching for a job, determining their salaries, and figuring their take-home pay. They will then learn how to pay bills using sample checks and registers, balance their checkbooks, rent and furnish a apartment, buy a car, and pay taxes. Students learn about preparing for major purchases, moving out on their own, and handling unexpected expenses. The simulation can be used for a semester-long course, requiring about one day of class time every one or two weeks. Included with the book is a CD that contains all of the reproducible masters in PDF format as well as Microsoft Excel files set up to assist with calculations.

Providing an accessible introduction to the study of word-formation, this text focuses specifically on English. Assuming no prior linguistic knowledge, Ingo Plag explains the fundamentals of word-formation, demonstrating how morphemes--the elements of a word's internal structure--can function to relate words to other words, and to create new words. Students are encouraged to undertake their own morphological analysis of English words, and are introduced to the methodological tools for obtaining and analyzing relevant data.

Exploring Geology by Reynolds/Johnson/Kelly/Morin/Carter is an innovative textbook intended for an introductory college geology course, such as Physical Geology. This ground-breaking, visually spectacular book was designed from cognitive and educational research on how students think, learn, and study. Nearly all information in the book is built around 2, 600 photographs and stunning illustrations, rather than being in long blocks of text that are not articulated with figures. These annotated illustrations help students visualize geologic processes and concepts, and are suited to the way most instructors already teach. To alleviate cognitive load and help students focus on one important geologic process or concept at a time, the book consists entirely of two-page spreads organized into 19 chapters. Each two-page spread is a self-contained block of information about a specific topic, emphasizing geologic concepts, processes, features, and approaches. These spreads help students learn and organize geologic knowledge in a new and exciting way. Inquiry is embedded throughout the book, modeling how geologists investigate problems. The title of each two-page spread and topic heading is a question intended to get readers to think about the topic and become interested and motivated to explore the two-page spread for answers. Each chapter is a learning cycle, which begins with a visually engaging two-page spread about a compelling geologic issue. Each chapter ends with an Investigation that challenges students with a problem associated with a virtual place. The world-class media, spectacular presentations, and assessments are all tightly articulated with the textbook. This book is designed to encourage students to observe, interpret, think critically, and engage in authentic inquiry, and is highly acclaimed by reviewers, instructors, and students.
