Georgie's Saturday Quest (Knowledge-builders Series) (Volume 1) James Terry Gates Ed.d

Georgie Martindale was concerned that his black lab dog, which they got from the animal rescue center may have come from a science laboratory, and that?s why the dog is called a "black Lab." Georgie wanted to find the truth, so his quest begins. Trips to the library, to Goose Bay in his time-space machine, and a brush with a petty criminal spice up the quest. Georgie?s Saturday Quest and future Knowledge-Builders books are designed to be hands-on learning guides, using fill-in-the-blank, write your answers, and what do you think engagement techniques to help readers retain the skills they are learning in the classroom (public, private or home school). In the Knowledge-Builders Series Book 1, Georgie's Saturday Quest, the reader will be introduced to the organizational skills that Georgie uses on his quest to collect information -- mind mapping, journaling, concept maps, note taking and of course using his imagination! Knowledge-Builders supports The Hoenny Center?s program for peer teaching ? students who teach students.
