Have a question? Check out our comprehensive FAQ below. If you still can’t find the answer you are looking for, create a customer support case and a WebAssign team member will be in touch with you shortly.
I chose the wrong textbook. How do I correct it?
There is no way for you to personally update your textbook once the class is created. However, if you contact us at 800.354.9706, or create a support case, we would be happy to make this change for you.
Please note, if the textbook chosen is a different price from the textbook you initially selected, and students have already registered (bought access) they will be refunded and will have to repurchase at the applicable price.
Can I extend the grace period for my course?
The grace period is determined by the initial start date set when the course is created. Even if the start date is later changed after the creation of the course, the grace period will always remain based off the date set at course creation.
If you need to extend the grace period, please contact Cengage Support.
How can I tell if my students have purchased access to my course?
Under the class tools menu for your particular class, click on the 'Roster' link.
On the mid-upper left hand side of the page you will see a blue 'Who's Registered?' link.
Clicking on this link will show you a pop up of who is on the roster for your course, and if and when they purchased access.
For more information, see View a Roster in our Instructor Help.
I'm not using WebAssign, but my students purchased access through a bundled textbook. How can I help them access WebAssign resources?
Often times a student purchases a WebAssign access code with a bundled textbook package or a Lifetime of Edition access code, but the instructor has chosen not to enable WebAssign for the course. However, you can easily give your student access to a WebAssign Resource Course so they can utilize features such as the eBook, lecture videos, and question tutorials. Just follow one of these steps:
- Set up a course and enroll any interested students,
- Contact WebAssign to have us set up a class key for you.
More information is available on our Resource Course page.
What is the Assignment List in the new scheduling tool?
Under the class tools menu for your particular class, click on the 'Roster' link.
When you are on the Scheduling page, the left column shows all of the assignments you have created. The assignments are listed in alphabetical order, then by the 'Last Save' date.
You can do a search by name, assignment ID number, or category to narrow the search.
For more information, see Schedule Assignments in our Instructor Help.
How can I tell when a student first opened an assignment?
To see when a student first opened an assignment, follow these steps:
- Go to the ClassView page for your class. Click ClassView, and select your class (if necessary).
- Click the Scoreview link located in the Class Tools Box to the left side of the assignments. This will show you the entire class and all assignments scheduled to the class.
- Find the student you want to review and click on his/her name. This will return a list of all the assignments for that student.
- Next to the assignment you want to review, click Log Info. The log will tell you what date/time the assignment was downloaded (opened) and the IP Address that it was opened from. It will also tell you which questions were saved or submitted.
In order to figure out if a student has saved or submitted an assignment you should first check the Scores page for that assignment.
On this page you can see a few things about what actions the student has taken.
ND = We have no record of the student opening the assignment
NS = We have no record of the student submitting the assignment for a grade.
However, they may have saved the assignment instead of submitting it. Saved answers can be recovered, but the student never submitted them for grading. Note: these responses are not viewable as an instructor or customer support.
Any number grade: The student has at least submitted one question on the assignment. If the number grade is a zero then the student did submit but did not match the key on any questions.
For a more detailed breakdown of what the student did on the assignment you can click on the student's name and then it will bring up their Responses page. On this page you can see what the student put in the answer boxes.
If you would like to see how many times a student submitted a single question you can click the green plus sign next to that question number. It will display a menu showing you how many submissions the student used. This option may change if the assignment is set to entire assignment submission.
If you want to see all the submissions they made on a single question you can click on the "Previous Answers" button to bring up all of their past submissions for that question.
Finally, if you want a complete breakdown of what questions the student saved or submitted, when they submitted them, the IP address the student submitted from, and other actions that were taken on the assignment such as printing or extensions, then you can click the "log info" button on the top. This will display what happened to the student's assignment in the order it happened and have exact time stamps of when they made changes. In this view you can see what questions, if any, the student saved and when.
For more information, see View Student Access Logs in our Instructor Help.
Why do some questions have '.defective' appended to the question name?
If one of the question names on an assignment has '.defective' appended to the question name, this means that an issue was found with that question and a fixed version of the question is now available. A fixed version was created to implement a required change in the questions code.
If the assignment that contains the defective question is not currently scheduled, then you do not need to take any special action. The new version will automatically replace the defective version when you next schedule the assignment.
If the name of the question ends with ‘.defective’ and the assignment is currently scheduled, then you may need to take special action so students do not see the defective version of the question. Consider the following options:
- Use the Assignment Editor to set the point value of the defective question to zero and rescore the assignment. The defective question will remain in the assignment, but will not count against the student. The new version of the question will automatically replace the defective version when you next schedule the assignment. You may wish to inform your students that they do not need to attempt to answer the defective question. If the defective question is in a pool, then you can set the point value of the pool to zero and rescore. Do not use this option if your assignment contains only a single pool.
- Use the Assignment Editor to remove the defective question and rescore the assignment. The new version of the question will not be added automatically to your assignment. Consider adding the new version of the question to the assignment just before scheduling the assignment again. However, removing the question is not an appropriate solution if the defective question is in a pool. You can remove the entire pool if the assignment contains questions outside the pool.
- WebAssign questions often use random components so that each student has a slightly different question to solve. Defective questions are sometimes defective because a portion of the possible random components in the question do not work correctly. Find the individual students who are affected by the defective question and use individual overrides to adjust their scores. This option is appropriate for a pool of questions.
If you are unable to use one of the outlined solutions, if you need further assistance with carrying out a solution, or if you believe your particular assignment settings warrant further consideration of the defective question, then please contact customer support.
What should I do if I see an incorrect answer key on the 'Responses' page for a question?
Check that you're correctly identifying both the student responses and the answer keys. Information on the Responses page is given, left to right, as follows:
- The student's actual response (in the gray box)
- The green check or red x, indicating correct or incorrect
- The answer key (in the green box)
If you are confident the student's responses are correct, please submit a Support Case and include the following information:
- Your WebAssign username
- Your full name
- The course name and section of the course
- The assignment name
- The question numbers on the assignment that are graded incorrectly
- Student name
We will research the problem and get back to you with a resolution.
My course is over and my students' scores have disappeared, can I still retrieve them?
Once a course passes the End Date, the students are considered dropped, but none of the Grades are actually lost/deleted.
Instead, there will be a filter that says "Dropped | Current Students | All" on the page. Clicking 'All' will display your students’ scores.
This filter is available on most pages that have scores, such as ScoreView, GradeBook, and the Scores page for an assignment.
Why am I being asked to link to or create a Cengage account?
The new process requires you and your students to transition their WebAssign account to a more modern and secure Cengage account.
After I've linked accounts, where do I sign in?
Once you've completed the one-time process of linking your WebAssign account to a Cengage account, you will sign in with your email address and password on the right side of the Sign In page.
Are there guides to walk me through the new sign-in process?
You can access personalized guides and training videos here.
WebAssign is telling me I already have a Cengage account, but I don't know the password.
Cengage accounts are used to access your Cengage Instructor Resource Center, as well as other Cengage products including MindTap, OWLv2 and more. If you have used any of these platforms before, it's possible you already have a Cengage account. It's also possible a Cengage Learning Consultant has created an account for you in the past.
I will be using WebAssign for the first time. Do I still need to link accounts?
As part of the instructor sign-up process, when new accounts are requested for instructors, the customer support team will link accounts for your and give you the only set of credentials you'll need. You can request an account with instructor access using the instructor Sign Up button on the WebAssign site. After submitting the form, the customer support team will provide you with your new Cengage account credentials you can use to access the WebAssign platform.
I use a Learning Management System. Do I still need to link an account?
If you are using an LMS such as Blackboard, Canvas or Moodle, you will not need to link your account. As soon as you log in through your LMS, WebAssign creates and links an SSO account for you on the back end. You can continue logging in through your LMS without ever having to go through the linking process.
My school uses a custom login page. Do I still need to link an account?
If your school will be using a custom login page with WebAssign, you will not need to link your account. As soon as you log in, WebAssign creates and links an SSO account for you on the back end. You can continue logging in through your school's login page without ever having to go through the linking process.
I use an LMS but I am locked out of signing into WebAssign directly. What's going on?
When you login through your LMS, WebAssign automatically creates and links an account for you. If you typically log in through your LMS, but want to login to WebAssign directly, please work with Cengage Customer Service or your Cengage Customer Success Manager.
How will the Roster Upload process be affected by the new sign-in process?
Courses using the Roster Upload method now have an additional step the first time students sign into WebAssign. After entering the WebAssign username, institution code and password that you have provided to them, students will need to upgrade to a Cengage account.
During the account upgrade process, students will be presented with a form to create and link their new Cengage account. This form will be prepopulated with the full name and email address you specified on your roster. While students will have the ability to update this information, they will need to take the step of intentionally deleting this information to replace it with new information.
While students always had the ability to optionally change their email address in WebAssign, the ability to change their full name is new. The WebAssign team is working to address the issue so that the information you included with the roster upload is still available when the student migrates their account. If you require the student's name to exactly match the name on your uploaded roster, it is recommended that you inform students to not change their full name when signing into WebAssign.
I have multiple WebAssign accounts and need to link them to a single Cengage account.
Currently, you can link only one WebAssign account to one Cengage account. If you have multiple accounts, please create new Cengage accounts for the additional ones. The Cengage username must use proper email formatting, but it does not need to be a valid email address. We recommend you use the same password for all newly created Cengage accounts for simplicity.
I've successfully linked accounts. How do I change my account information?
Now that you’ve created or linked to a Cengage account, you will log in with your Cengage credentials. If you’d like to change this account information, follow the below process.
- Go to com/Login
- Click your name in the top right
- Click “My Profile”
- Click “Edit” on the right
- Change your e-mail, password, security question on this screen.
- Save Changes.
Now log in with your updated credentials at https://www.webassign.net/wa-auth/login on the right-hand side.
I have switched schools and want to change my institution code in WebAssign. How do I do this?
There is no way to change the institution code if you have switched schools. If this is needed you will need to create a new account. To sign up for a new account please visit the Instructor Sign Up page.
The easiest way to have your assignments copied to the new account is to add it as Additional Access to your old course and propagate the assignments to your course at the new school.

As the rally for President Trump drew hundreds of screaming fans in Ocala, Florida, last week, other people of obviously different allegiances were hard at work just yards outside in the parking lots.
Security chased, but failed to capture, dozens of “suspicious individuals” attacking cars, trucks, and golf carts owned by the attendees, some wielding cans of spray paint, bags of cow manure, and most troubling, torches.
In total, six vehicles were destroyed beyond repair, while twenty-eight more are in stable condition at nearby emergency mechanic bays, suffering maladies including collapsed trunks, broken door handles and windows, and urine-filled airbags.
Automotive surgeons told police that the scene was straight out of a Jason Statham movie.
Joe Barron, a twenty-year resident of St. Blumpkin’s Institution for the Automotively Damaged says that some of the injuries he’s witnessing to the victims are worse than the day back in 1988 when an 18-wheeler carrying Phil Collins CD’s overturned, causing dozens of cars to swerve into each other to avoid touching the toxic spill.
“The real victims of this tragedy are the poor trumptards who own these vehicles,” Barron told Car and Queefer magazine. “There are several older senior men with golf carts who are sleeping on tree branches tonight because they don’t know what Uber is, and can’t access the internet on their flip phones. I have mangled Confederate flags everywhere and Oldsmobiles filled with VHS videos of Charlie Daniels concerts smashed and burned to atoms. I’ve had a woman in the waiting room crying for ours about her Buick Skylark’s roof, which was tagged with the words ‘suck a cock, nazi’ in yellow paint. The poor woman is seventy-eight. She doesn’t want to suck a cock. She just wants to complain about blacks, Jews, and Mexicans with her friends. It’s just tragic.”
At this time, damages from the vandal’s actions have already run up into the thousands, and some repairs will need days to get parts from nearby flea markets.
But the real damage was to the hearts of the poor Trump fans who now have flat tires – in their hearts.

Lafayette Zydeco Musician to Perform with The Rolling Stones at Jazz Fest
Lafayette's very own Dwayne Dopsie Rubin has some big news: he's set to perform with the legendary Rolling Stones at the 2024 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Known for his dynamic accordion skills and deep Zydeco roots, Dopsie's addition to the Rolling Stones' lineup is a huge deal, as it will surely be an unforgettable moment on May 2nd.
Dopsie shared the news on Facebook, expressing his excitement and disbelief about rehearsing and playing with the rock icons. "Well, today my New Orleans jazz fest started a little early because I just rehearsed with the Rollin Stones, who asked to have me be a part of their show tomorrow at the New Orleans jazz festival," he posted, thrilled to bring his Zydeco style to the music of a band he's always admired.
This isn't just a win for Dopsie but a proud moment for Lafayette and South Louisiana's musical scene. Following a recent trip to Los Angeles to record tracks for Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" album, Dopsie's upcoming performance with the Stones highlights his growing influence in the music industry.
The local community and fans online are fully supportive, praising Dopsie's achievements and the cultural blend this performance represents. Comments on social media range from celebratory cheers—"So proud of Dwayne Dopsie! What a champion for South Louisiana and Zydeco culture!"—to awe at the historical significance—"It's not every day a #Zydeco musician gets to play with a band that's sold 250 million records."
Dwayne Dopsie Rubin, often called the "Jimi Hendrix of the Accordion," is about to make history. As he merges his spirited accordion play with the Stones' rock vibes, Jazz Fest attendees are in for a treat. This performance is not just a show of Dopsie's hard work but also a showcase of Louisiana's vibrant musical legacy on a world stage.
Tomorrow, as Dopsie steps up with Mick Jagger and the rest, he'll not just play music; he'll be representing Lafayette and all of Acadiana, bringing Zydeco from his hometown to the forefront at Jazz Fest with The Rolling Stones.
Congrats to Dwayne Dopsie Rubin, who continues making his mark and making us proud.

appointed by the Minister;
(b) two members appointed by the EA; and
(c) a number of members (sufficient to form
a bare majority on the RFDC) appointed by or on behalf of constituent
6. In appointing a person to be the Chairman
or a member of an RFDC the Minister or constituent council is
required to "have regard to the desirability of appointing
a person who has experience of, and has shown capacity in, some
matter relevant to the functions of the committee". The Minister
does not make any appointments to LFDCs although the members he
appoints to an RFDC may beand often areoffered appointment
to an LFDC by the RFDC.
7. Although the Act does not require the
Minister to appoint members on a geographical basis, in practice
he tries to ensure that membership is spread over the whole of
an RFDC's area. This means that in addition to their general responsibilities
members are expected to have some knowledge of and take special
interest in the flood defence problems of that part of the area
in which they live.
8. The frequency and timing of RFDC meetings
varies from committee to committee. Generally speaking they are

title: Most common colleges attended by us presidents

text:
Hi there! I'm a bit of a history nerd and also in the process of figuring out where to go to college. I'm kind of interested in knowing: what are some of the most common colleges attended by US presidents? And why do you think they chose those schools?
Sure, I'd be happy to share that information with you! Harvard University is the most common college attended by U.S. Presidents, with eight presidents having attended there. The second most common is Yale University with five presidents having attended. And the College of William & Mary is third with three presidents having attended.
The presidents who attended Harvard are John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Rutherford B. Hayes, John F. Kennedy, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. Interestingly, George W. Bush also attended Yale University, along with his father George H.W. Bush, William Howard Taft, and Gerald Ford. And the presidents from College of William & Mary are Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and John Tyler.
One possible reason for this is the age of these institutions - Harvard, Yale, and William & Mary are three of the oldest universities in the U.S., with a wealth of history that's intertwined with America's own. So attending these prestigious institutions might provide a solid academic foundation, as well as strong networking connections, both of which could be beneficial for a future career in politics.
However, it's important to remember that success in public life isn't strictly tied to where you go to college. In fact, several U.S. Presidents such as Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, and Harry Truman, didn't attend college at all. Each person has their own unique path to leadership, and pursuing your own interests and strengths is more important than following someone else's path.

title: Back to normal face to face celebration after two years dot sec frasco to grace jampacked singkaban festival 2022 opening

text:
CITY OF MALOLOS- The grounds of the Provincial Capitol will once again be flooded with lively, colorful, and jovial vibes as the Singkaban Festival comes back to its normal face-to-face celebration tomorrow, September 8, 2022, 8:00 am in front of the Capitol building in this city after two years of being held online.
Department of Tourism Secretary Maria Esperanza Christina Garcia Frasco is expected to lead thousands of Bulakenyos headed by Governor Daniel R. Fernando in the opening of the grand celebration of the province’s rich culture and history.
Fernando invited all Bulakenyos as well as local and international tourists to come and witness the weeklong celebration of the “Mother of All Fiestas” in Bulacan, Singkaban Festival 2022 with the theme, “Patuloy na Pagsikhay Tungo sa Tagumpay”.
“Isang linggong pagdiriwang na sesentro sa mayamang sining at kultura ng 21 bayan at tatlong lungsod ng lalawigan ang ating ipapamalas sa ating Singkaban Festival ngayong taon. Ngunit bukod dito, atin ring ipagbubunyi ang matatag na kaugalian ng ating lahi na maging sa pandemya ay hindi nagpagapi,” the governor said.
After the grand opening, Frasco, Fernando, and other local officials and guests will watch the entrance of the competing floats for the “Parada ng Karosa” that will depict their products, services, or locality’s tradition, arts, and tourist destinations.
Other than that, costumes portraying Bulakenyo heroes, patriots, national artists, and personalities will be on display at the Robinsons Place Malolos from September 8 to 15, 2022 in the activity dubbed as “Bulacan Festival Costume Expo”.
Also, Andrew Alto De Guzman’s 4th One-Man Art Exhibition titled “HomAge: 30 Years of Art” will open on the same day until September 30, 2022 at the Guillermo E. Tolentino Hall, Hiyas Museum in this city.
The Hiyas ng Bulacan Brass Band will also serenade visitors and spectators with their music and performance in the “Konsierto ng Hiyas ng Bulacan” at 3:00 pm at the Bulacan Capitol Mini Forest.
Lastly, participants of the “Singkaban ng Bayan: Arc Making Competition” will display their entries in front of their municipal or city government hall or building from September 8-15, 2022.


title: Portland trail blazers overpaid underpaid 2024 season

text:
The Portland Trail Blazers are at a crossroads after Damian Lillard’s trade request. He only wants to be dealt to the Miami Heat, but the Blazers need to maximize the return. It will likely take a third or fourth team for both sides to get what they want, and that is why things have been so slow coming together.
Portland drafted Scoot Henderson second overall, and the 19-year-old projects to be a superstar. It will take time, but the Blazers could be back in contention with a new point guard in short order. They must maximize their return for Lillard and build the roster around Scoot. It is a shift in focus the franchise should already have made.
Portland has just 12 players under contract, and they need to maximize the long-term potential of their roster moving forward. Who is making too much? Do they have players that are earning less than they should? Here is a look at the best and worst values currently on their roster.
3 Overpaid Portland Trail Blazers, 3 underpaid for the 2023-24 season
Overpaid: Nassir Little
Little signed a four-year $28 million extension at the start of the 2022-23 season. He averaged 9.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks in 25.9 minutes per game the previous year as a 21-year-old, and it seemed like it would be a bargain contract for the Blazers.
One year later, Little took a massive step back. His minutes and production declined as the 6’5 wing posted a negative value over replacement player (VORP) and a 0.032 win shares per 48 minutes, which is well below the league average of 0.100.
The extension begins this season with Little under contract until 2027. Last year’s 54 games were a career-high, and he is averaging just 17.1 minutes a night through his first four seasons. Will Portland regret giving him a long-term deal?
Nassir Little looks slightly overpaid going into the 2023-24 season, but the 23-year-old could flip the narrative with a bounce-back or breakthrough season. His production is something to watch closely.

A guide on how to fix the annoying grey background and center image in Firefox 11
When you need to see an image better you right click and choose View image. Since 2007 we were seeing the image in the top left corner on a white background. Now ever since Firefox 11 that got changed to a centered image with grey layout. Personally I hate that this. Why should I see everything with a grey background (#333 to be exact, it may be seen as black on a non-well calibrated monitor)? Instead they should have placed an option at the Firefox options.
So, lets get it back to “normal”
So, how do we do it?
We will need an addon called Old Default Image Style. Head over there and install it by clicking on the green button + Add to Firefox. After that is done it may require that you restart your Firefox.
And you’re done! You will see all single viewed images as before.
In the Addon Option menu (Tools->Addons->Extensions tab-> Old Default Image Style [Options]) you can set a custom background which will be rendered under each single viewed image. Note that this changes only the Right click -> view image background, not overall all!
So, how did that happen and why?
Several years a go some graphic designer reported this as a bug, in his point of view having a grey background is much better (honestly, this makes watching transparent images a huge bother to do). You can read more about it here and also a bit more about this subject here.
There is also a similar addon, but it doesn’t sets correctly the image to the to-left corner. It’s called ImageTweak It will let you tweak all sorts of options regarding the rendered background of a single viewed image.
If you do not wish to use an addon you can use this work around.

title: Teeth whitening

text:
Whitening is the process of removing the discoloration that occurs in the structure of the teeth. It is a frequently used method among aesthetic dentistry methods. As a result of the bleaching process; Teeth whiten temporarily with the use of tea, coffee, cigarettes, etc. or in spontaneous color changes over time.
Over time, depending on the deterioration in the mineral structure of the teeth, the enamel layer becomes a more porous structure. This structure creates a suitable environment for pigmentation in the teeth, causing the tooth color to darken. In addition, tea, coffee, cigarettes, tetracycline-derived antibiotics or excessive fluoride intake can cause changes in the color of the teeth. Whitening is the process of removing the discoloration that occurs in the structure of the teeth. There are two different whitening methods currently known.
It is applied by the dentist in the clinic, with a procedure that usually takes 40-50 minutes. The gums are covered with a special protective layer and a gel-like whitening agent is applied to the teeth.
A transparent mold suitable for the mouth and covering all teeth is prepared by measuring the person to be whitened. The patient squeezes the gels given by the physician into this mold and applies it to his teeth at certain times every day. Whitening gels can irritate the gums. Therefore, they should not be carried over to the gums. In household applications, if the gel carries over to the gingiva after placing the mold in the mouth, the overflowing gel should be removed with a wet cotton ball.
According to studies, teeth whitening is extremely effective and safe if done under the supervision of your dentist. Teeth and gums are not damaged in any way.
Rarely, hot-cold sensitivity can be seen after bleaching. However, this situation disappears completely within 1-3 days. The whitening process does not cause any changes on the tooth enamel. For this, a plaque suitable for the structure of the teeth is prepared by taking measurements from the patient. The patient will use the whitening gel at home by placing it in this plate. The plaque is made in such a way that it can be worn comfortably and does not adversely affect daily life. With this method, it is possible to provide long-term whitening by allocating half an hour a day. It is an application that usually takes a few weeks. In home bleaching, the physician may want to follow up with the patient to evaluate the result and check the sensitivity.
Professional teeth whitening is a risk-free procedure. 95% of the applications give successful results and can take 2-3 years depending on the habits of the person. In rare cases, tooth sensitivity and gingival irritation may occur, but this situation returns to normal in a short time. In case of sensitivity, fluoride that your dentist will apply and toothpaste or creams that he will recommend to you will reduce this tooth sensitivity.
The result of whitening depends on the structure of the teeth and the type of stain. Often yellow spots turn white more quickly than gray ones. Whitening is not applied to porcelain crowns, laminate veneers and dentures. The type of stain, the strength of the bleaching agent used, the duration and frequency of application affect the degree of whitening to be achieved. The important thing here is not to get white teeth, but to get whitening suitable for the skin, hair and eye color of the person.

Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) occurs when special educators adapt content, methodology or instruction to work on students' IEP goals. While this can occur in pull-out settings, many of us are embracing inclusive practices. But how do you work on goals that may not seem to fit with the general education curriculum? I recently created a handout with some examples for a presentation. Check out all the details here.
Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Aggie Waterman, an Algebra teacher at Desert Edge High School. She shared with me a simple strategy she uses in all of her classes (not just co-taught!) to help students know when to take notes or when to put their pencils down and just listen. On each of her slides, she includes a Bitmoji in the top right corner to indicate what students should be doing. Not using Bitmojis? You could also use a symbol from www.thenounproject.com. Thanks, Aggie, for all you do for students and for sharing your simple idea with other educators.
One of my “go to” websites of late is www.handspeak.com This site provides brief (1-2) second videos of American Sign Language for whatever word you enter in the search bar. This is a fantastic tool for teachers. The research supports the use of gestures to improve comprehension and memory of new information. Instead of simply making up a gesture of my own, I can choose to use ASL, making the information more universally accessible to all students. When co-teaching, if one teacher is presenting a mini-lecture on a new concept, the other can look up the concept at www.handspeak.com and be prepared to show the sign to the students and have them repeat the gesture. This keeps both teachers actively engaged in the instruction and increases engagement and retention for students. Give it a try right now to see how quick and easy it is! Think of a concept that you will be teaching in the next week (for example, compare 2 things) and look it up at www.handspeak.com Co-teaching can be such a creative process! When partners combine their expertise and problem-solving skills, they generate unique solutions to classroom challenges. Peer Support Cards were the brainchild of Joey Tilton and Anthony Kresto, partners in a middle school math course. Even with two adults in the room, they found that more students needed assistance than the partners could always provide. They created a simple yet effective peer support strategy using colored index cards. First, they designed the independent math work in a hierarchy of difficulty. As students finished level one, they asked a teacher to check it. If correct, they were given a #1 card and continued their work. Any other student in the room could then approach a peer with a #1 card for assistance with a level one problem. (Same for level two, three, etc.) On the back of the index cards was a hierarchy of questions for the peer-supporter so that they could guide the student needing help, rather than just providing the answer.
Hierarchy of Questions
This card system increased student collaboration and allowed both teachers to spend additional time with students in need of direct instruction or re-teaching. Thanks to Mr. Tilton and Mr. Kresto for allowing me to share their idea with teachers around the world! Here is one of the ideas from my contribution to Larry Ferlazzo's column in EdWeek.
This year I was fortunate to watch a highly engaging review activity in a co-taught lesson on author's purpose. The partners did a virtual variation of a 4 corners routine.
The students were very engaged in this gamified review activity! I am so inspired by the creativity I see teachers using every day to help students stay engaged in the virtual environment. And the great news for me is that this activity can be used in brick and mortar settings, too! Round Lake School District co-teachers Kyle Monestero and Terry Beake decided to boost the math language component of note-taking. For this lesson on substitution, they asked their middle school students to add a box on the right side of their notes pages and label it "Word Bank." However, instead of giving students specific words, they encouraged students to create their own list of synonyms or related terms that help them to understand the concept. As they practice this over time, the teachers can encourage students to use this note-taking strategy in other classes.
This strategy has so many potential benefits. Research shows that exploring synonyms helps learners understand the key term in more depth. We also know from research that making connections between prior knowledge and new information strengthens memory. The personalization of the strategy will boost interest and commitment to it. And it is so generalizable! Thanks Kyle and Terry for sharing this strategy with us! Helping students to determine the main idea of a story can be a challenge. I have tried several approaches over the years, including one of my most successful – the Bull’s Eye strategy. The general method is to discuss the value of the various circles of a Bull’s Eye. The smallest center is only large enough to capture one idea, while the outer rings can hold several less important ideas. In-person, I give students sticky notes to write sentences or phrases from the text and then discuss where to place them on a Bull’s Eye drawn on the whiteboard. More details can be found here. Recently I had the opportunity to share this idea with Felicia Fischer, an outstanding special education teacher in Round Lake Area Schools. Felicia adapted the idea for her virtual instruction, using JamBoard and YouTube. She had students watch a short video on volcanos and then modeled how to move the ideas around on JamBoard, placing the main idea in the middle. Next, students watched a Social Studies video and practiced on their own slide with three ideas that Felicia had created in advance for them. After several practices in this manner, with lots of class discussion, Felicia began to teach students how to generalize this strategy to text, especially when they may not have access to sticky notes or a JamBoard. Generalization instruction is always a solid sign of specially designed instruction! Thanks, Felicia, for creatively adapting to meet your students' needs in a virtual environment!
Check out this fantastic example of engaging students through Total Physical Response! Michael Crisantos, a first-grade special education teacher in Round Lake Area School District, created an individual GIF of himself using a gesture for each letter of the alphabet, based on a phonics program they use. He then created slides, arranging the gifs to spell words in a short sentence. This example is just a still shot I captured – wish I had video to show you – but you can still get the idea. The sentence students had to write was I see Mom.
Thanks, Michael, for the creative energy you offer your students and co-teachers on a daily basis! With many co-teachers returning to hybrid classrooms, teacher voice volume can be a distraction for students. For example, If Teacher A is working with a small group of students through Zoom, while in the same space Teacher B is enthusiastically instructing in-person students, Teacher B's loud voice volume may carry over to students in Zoom. Because we want enthusiastic teachers AND environments in which students can easily attend, we need to get creative about this new challenge. Round Lake Area Schools in Illinois gathered a group of individuals to brainstorm some easy solutions. We created a short list of the most practical ideas so that partners can choose what works best for their classes. Which one will you try? Click here for the list and feel free to share! |

Warm Asian-Style Rice Salad
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I made a new rice dish to serve with miso chicken tonight. I decided to grill despite the rain, so, if you happened down our stretch of highway this evening, I would be the fool you saw manning the grill beneath that huge red golf umbrella. Miso chicken is delicious, but I'm always puzzled by what to serve with it. Summer is no problem. I make a Japanese potato salad that's a perfect compliment to the chicken. Winter is more problematic. Plain, unflavored rice simply will not do and my winter palate refuses to embrace mayonnaise based salads. So, I decided to combine hot rice with mirin wine and broccoli slaw and see what happened. In Japan, sweet rice would be used to make a dish like this. Despite its name, this rice isn't sweet and it doesn't contain gluten. It is, instead, a very sticky, short-grain rice that's used to make sushi or sweet rice desserts. As you can see, I used basmati rice to make mine. It works well, but would be difficult to eat with chopsticks because the grains do not clump. I made enough rice to feed four, but the ingredients here can easily be doubled. I used mirin, a rice wine, because I think it's less sweet than sake and is more to our taste. The rice must be hot when the mirin and vegetables are folded into it. This is a really, really easy to make and it's quite good. Here's the recipe.
Warm Asian-Style Rice Salad...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
2 cups hot cooked rice
6 tablespoons mirin cooking wine
1-1/2 cups broccoli or cabbage slaw
Salt and pepper to taste
Fold mirin and broccoli slaw into hot rice. Mix well. Cover pot and let sit for 15 minutes, or until mirin is absorbed. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss. Transfer to rice bowls. Yield: 4 servings.


title: Balls

text:
This film is a loose parody of Enter the Dragon, where a former ping-pong champ (Dan Fogler) is recurited by an FBI agent (George Lopez) to participate in a tournament held by a gun runner (Christopher Walken) in hopes of finding his stash. After being trained by an old master (James Hong) and his hot niece (Maggie Q), the gang heads to the tournament, and hilarity ensues.
Or at least that's the general idea. Balls of Fury was written and directed by Thomas Ian Lennon and Robert Ben Garant, better known as Dangle and Junior from the TV show Reno 911. Like that show, the humor is hit-or-miss. The stuff that works (such as James Hong dispensing awful pearls of wisdom) is really funny, but a good number of jokes just fall flat -- do we really need any more Matrix parodies? Come on, guys. It's 2007 -- give it up.
At any rate, the film fires so many jokes at the viewer that it keeps the chuckle factor high enough to keep their interest. And just in case that doesn't work, the film-makers also threw in some nice eye candy, most notably Maggie Q. Sure, this is yet another token "hot Asian chick" role for her, but at least she's on-screen for more than two minutes. But she's really going to have to try and find projects and roles of more substance if she hopes to really break through in the US, or else it's back to working on Wong Jing productions for her.
Balls of Fury isn't Shakespeare. Hell, it isn't even up to the level of great dopey comedies like Dumb and Dumber. But it is a fairly entertaining way to kill ninety minutes. That might be faint praise, but considering the woeful nature of most of Hollywood's output these days, some praise is better than none.
