Bio
I am a person who really likes to read and write and to share what I learned with all my education. My page will mainly be book reviews and critiques of old and new books that I have read and will read. There will also be other bits, too.

Adlerian
This is a continuation to my graduate paper on Adlerian counseling. The students in this first graduate level counseling course had to pick a theory that would probably and hopefully be a part of our counseling career. As you have been reading my other articles this is the theory that I was the most familiar with for I did work with young children in a day care setting as well as using some activities working with the elderly who had Dementia and/or Alzheimer's disease. Now for the continuation of the original 15-page paper.

American history
Continuance of previous lesson for 'Rise of the American Nation'. Economic ferment Not only was unemployment high but also for thousands of other people prices were rising and it was difficult to make ends meat. Today we call this 'inflation' (write on blackboard)-during a period of inflation with prices soaring a fixed amount of money will buy fewer and fewer goods. Some with few or a limited amount will find it hard to buy food and clothing.

Chapter Two - The British Colonies Grow Strong 1620-1750 This is another chapter in the text 'Rise of the American Nation' that I used as a student. As I did for chapter one these lectures/lessons will be broken down into smaller chunks, as I learned in my graduate education.

American history
The first two colonies The first Roanoke colony failed and in 1587 a second group settled on Roanoke Island and then there was a Spanish attempt to invade England and in 1588 prevented Raleigh sending fresh supplies then in 1591 a relief expedition finally reached Roanoke but the settlers were gone. No one really knows what happened to the people of the 'Lost Colony'. This did help to strengthen England's interest in the New World.

American History
Columbus leads Europeans to explore New World Columbus headed directly west and started the 'Geographic Revolution'. (Term on blackboard) On October 12, 1492, landed what called San Salvador - now Watling's Island in the Bahamas. After several attempts, he still believed that he failed in his goals and died in 1506. Vasco Nunez de Balboa discovered a new ocean in 1513 as he starts across the Isthmus of Panama. (The teacher shows the students or have them locate on a map the Isthmus of Panama.) Balboa is seeking gold that Indians tell him that lies in the west. He is led through a hot forest and many hardships and finally at the foot of a mountain catches a glimpse of the 'South Sea' now the Pacific Ocean.

I hope there are some teachers both old and new and even student teachers out there that might like some blackboard notes for an American history class that could be either 9th or 10th grade. I am a person who has studied teacher education, but decided to become an educational writer after working for 15 years in the nursing field. As an educational writer I plan on writing and sharing various lectures and lessons dealing with all the subject areas that I have studied from courses in early and elementary education through the high school years, and I am also thinking about offering some of my own lectures for the courses I had in undergraduate and graduate education. The fields that I have studied were Human services/counseling; Practical nursing; Humanities with all the subjects that will entail and I hope that some of these lectures will come in handy if only for research purposes.

Adlerian
In the Adlerian therapy mode I do try to re-orient, re-educate to bring a balance with what may happen with their bodies and minds and spirits. In working with this and any population you have to encourage and actively listen to what is going on with them and give them ideas to motivate themselves to get better. Also, in motivating patients you are as a counselor, nurse or whatever you are you will use several means to get through to them.

Adlerian
This is my paper that started my graduate school education that started with learning to be a counselor and ended up achieving a doctorate in Education, but more specifically in Reading and literacy leading to research and writing. I found out there are a lot of correlations between education and counseling in various areas. I am still interested in writing and sharing my ideas using various counseling theories. This is actually a 15 page paper that was handed in a few weeks before the end of the semester to see what particular theory that we would probably use in our practice or whatever we were planning to do in the future.

The Cave
This is another story that I wrote for a Creative writing class during undergrad. This is a children's mystery that I was told by my fellow classmates/critics as an example of the 'Encyclopedia Brown' stories. I will be making a few changes and I hope they will be for the better of the story. I feel my writing aptitude has improved since 1990 when I had taken this course.

An American Revolution Story
This is a story or rather a play that I wrote for a Creative writing course I enrolled in during my Junior year in college. There will be mistakes for this was or is my first attempt at being a playwright or maybe a scriptwriter. If I remember right the other writing majors were quite strict in their reviews of the story (play), but the professor stated that it was a good attempt.
