I’m only giving this 4 stars because it is a bit outdated now (published in 2004). Some really great strategies for teaching and making learning engaging! A super easy and informative read!

I had high hopes for this- maybe too high! I love the idea of these E-moments but in theory only. I had a really hard time trying to implement most of them. I do think it might be because I teach English and many of these moments seem designed more for math, science and in some instances social sciences.
There are 30 E-moments total. They are designed to reach all levels of Blooms taxonomy (i personally think they are a level lower than they are listed) and to reach all students through multiple intelligences. Which ones will I use and how?
Eyewitness and little professor as partner shares after immediately after a lecture. Can be used as reinforcement of knowledge and as a check for understanding. Also allows for el learnerz to discuss and make their own.
Karaoke and mother goose because I see the value in making rhymes to remember information. I know a lot of that is rote learning, and a little elementary, but so many of my students struggle with remembering what goes in a paragraph that they can't even begin to write their paragraphs!
Soundtrack moments as possible extra credit after a short story
Party host on a Friday when there is only 10-15 minutes left and I don't want to start something new!
