Joan Irvine's Ideas
Joan Irvine's book, "How to make POP-UPS," has more than fifty ideas that will be helpful to beginning teachers. It is also helpful to anyone who enjoys working with crafts. This book is filled with all sorts of ideas that range from making a pop-up strip, to making a cage, to making your own trapeze book. Irvine commences the book by suggesting the materials(paper, scissors, string,rubber bands, buttons etc...) to be used. Then,Irvine informs the reader of the symbols and definitions to be utilized on each individual pop-up. Irvine also gives helpful suggestions for folding, cutting, and measuring. I suggest this book to anyone who enjoys making crafts.

Lots of Pop-Up Fun!
I purchased this book hoping to find out a few tricks beyond the simple "strip" style pop up.I was very pleasantly surprised to find instructions for turning circles, 3-D cages, and sliders, among others! Given the number of projects included in the book, I feel it's anexceptional value!Instructions and diagrams were clear and easy for me tofollow and I look forward to sharing some of these projects at my localelementary school, where I volunteer as art director for a 5/6th gradecombination class.Children will definitely enjoy creating these simple,but impressive ideas!

Great beginner book on Popups
Although written for children, the methods learned in this book can be carried over to any type of pop-up cards.Also shows you how to make a noise-maker card, a card with a slide and a card with a rubber band powered "car" on it.Lots of good ideas. ... Read more

East to Make Pop-Ups is Great!
I was thrilled to find that the Joan Irvine book How to Make Pop-Ups was reprinted in Easy to Make Pop-Ups.As the enrichment teacher in our school district, I had given presentations to many groups on making pop-ups based on the clearly written and illustrated book.I had given the book as a gift to many young people.As a docent at a children's museum, I present mini courses on making pop-up cards and the adults present have always wanted to know where they could get the book I was using.Until now, I had to tell them that it was out of print.Thank you for again making it available.It is my all-time favorite!

Early pop-up
Some of these do not work very well. Unless you know what you're doing or have a more detailed book on pop-ups these pop-ups may not work. ... Read more

Book Description
How do I plan lessons for today’s diverse classrooms? This book helps pre-service teachers answer this question and learn to create and use such lessons in their classrooms. It is the first book to provide well-developed content-specific lesson plans that reflect cultural diversity in the United States. Rather than taking the traditional foundations-oriented, culture and history approach, this text translates that cultural and historical knowledge of specific minority groups into examples for instructional use. The text features entire field-tested units for elementary and middle grades in four content areas,language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. For example, in the language arts unit, “Stories, Stories, Stories,” students tell, write, and read stories that build on their cultural background and experiences. The math unit explores informal geometry in the patterns of Navajo rugs, African textiles, and Mexican pottery. The science unit connects weather experiences to cultural folk myths and sayings. The social studies unit examines changing requirements for voting in the USA. The text can be used as a supplement for general or elementary methods, student field experience, or multicultural education, or as a main text in practice-oriented multicultural education and multicultural curriculum courses. ...
