enables self-assessment and reflection in learning
encourages teacher-student dialogue
helps clarify what is good performance
provides students with quality information to help improve their learning
encourages motivation and self-confidence in students
aids the teacher in shaping teaching

Underpinned by the relevant theory, the practical advice and examples in this book directly address the issues of how to motivate students to engage in formative assessment effectively and shows teachers how they can provide further useful formative feedback.

Book Description

Heralding the seventy-fifth anniversary of the quintessential agrarian anthology I'll Take My Stand, Zachary Michael Jack, himself a fourth generation farmer's son, has assembled North America's foremost contemporary writers on the present rural experience to provide their own twenty-first-century insights.

In the grand tradition of farmer-writers Robert Frost, Henry David Thoreau, and Andrew Lytle, Black Earth and Ivory Tower: New American Essays from Farm and Classroom gathers the disparate wisdoms of modern-day stewards of the land including Victor David Hanson, Michael Martone, Linda Hasselstrom, John Hildebrand, "Country Things" cartoonist Bob Artley, and Duane Acker, former U.S. assistant secretary of science and education and former president of Kansas State University.

These gifted teachers and growers offer hard-won inspiration from the field and the classroom, exemplifying the multifaceted, farm-grounded talents that call them to lives as writers, visual artists, conservation tillers, environmentalists, economists, policymakers, extension agents, and grassroots activists. Seeking a balanced life that reconciles the hands, heart, and head, they follow roads less traveled to find agrarian lifestyles at once enlightening and challenging. At a time when less than two percent of Americans count themselves as farmers, these writer—all of whom have cultivated the earth and climbed the ivory tower—underscore the diversity of the American farm as a wellspring of learning. Their plainspoken commentaries on modern farming, teaching, and living will remind older generations of time-honored, agrarian values and provide a new generation with a literate, critical account of shifting national priorities.

A highly recommended addition to community and academic library Agricultural Studies.......2006-08-04

Compiled, organized and edited by Zachary Michael Jack (Assistant Professor of English, North Central College, Naperville, Illinois), Black Earth And Ivory Tower: New American Essays From Farm And Classroom is a compendium of articulate, informed and thoughtful commentaries on modern farming, teaching new generations of time-honored agrarian values, and critical accounts of shifting national priorities as America continues the trend of expanding urbanization and declining small farm agriculture. Professor Jack brings a special insight and sensitivity to the issues addressed having been raised on an Iowa farm that his family first settled in the early 1860s. Also available in hardcover (1570035881, $59.95), Black Earth And Ivory Tower is a highly recommended addition to community and academic library Agricultural Studies, Farm Life Studies, and Social Issues reference collections.

A wonderful selection of interesting essays.......2005-11-07

"Black Earth and Ivory Tower: New American Essays from Farm and Classroom" has been a very enlightening read. I am a city person by birth, and I was surprised at how many of the themes of this book I could relate to. I not only learned a lot about life on a farm; I also learned about life as a teacher. The concept of farming and teaching going hand in hand was an idea I was not fully able to appreciate until I started reading these thirty-four, creative nonfiction essays.

Each author and text is unique, and yet common themes unite every narrative, making this an almost flawless collection. Some of my favorites include "Reading and Writing the Land" by Michael Carey, "Addicted to Work" by Linda Hasselstrom, and "The Way the Country Lies" by Douglas Bauer. I was pleasantly surprised, for instance, by the amount of stories these authors shared intimating sneaking off to read books as children while everyone else worked on the farm. Like many other people who grew up in urban areas, I always imagined farm children as constant workers who spent all their time helping elders.

Many other surprising, stereotype-exploding scenes populate this fine book of nonfiction. After reading the work of these contributors, almost all of whom have won awards for both their teaching and writing, it would be impossible for someone to fall back into the stereotype of thinking that a person from a farm is somehow less cultured or educated, as demonstrated by the credentials of the contributors, which range from U.S. Poet Laureate (Ted Kooser) to former Pulitzer Prize nominee (Robert Higgs).

Jack has done a wonderful job editing and artfully introducing his collection (check out "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Farmer Hyde"), as each essay flows effortlessly into the next one and unusually fine author biographies precede each essay. The personal essays, memoirs, and literary journalism anthologized in "Black Earth" are so thoughtful and at the same time so down-to-earth that it was easy for me to forget that I was also learning a great deal about agriculture as I read. The book's illustrations, drawn from Bob Artley's nationally syndicated "Country Things" cartoon series, make for a delightful bonus.

This would be a great text for teachers, farmers, and students of the land, as well as a general reader interested in farm and ranch life past and present. In a time when farming is a dying art, it's wonderful that a book like this has reestablished the beauty and artistry of both farming and teaching and has perfectly demonstrated why the two go hand in hand.

Pollution Kills More than Car Accidents........2005-09-20

Ten years ago, Mr. Ward was predicting some of the weather-related occurrences we have seen in the past few months. He blames it on certain atmospheric disturbances which multiply and may cause another extinction of life on earth.

Ozone is a form of oxygen which blocks the sun's damaging ultraviolet radiation. This thinning of the world's ozone level was first detected in 1985, twenty years ago, and is being destroyed by man-made compounds leaking into the atmosphere. CFCs were polluting and destroying ozone molecules. If the ozone continues to be depleted due to the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, increased amounts of ultraviolet radiation will bombard the earth continuously, and cause a higher rate of cancer in humans.

It's because of the changeds of levels of critical gases such as CO2 (carbon dioxide) and water vapor. Our planet stays warmer in large part known as the greenhouse effect called global warming. It will increase the spread of deserts and cause droughts and reduce water supplies.

In 1995, Mr. Ward predicted that this global warming is sure to lead to massive environmental changes over much of the earth. Even if detailed understanding of global warming still defies prediction, generalities emerge. It will cause the seas to rise to dangerous depths. The ice caps will melt and increase sea levels. The rate and extent will decide mankind's fate.

The faster the oceans rise and erode land, the greater incidence for loss of life. We've seen this already in New Orleans, where most of the occupants were forced to leave this historic town for a time, and Thailand where land lose and deaths were terrifically tragic.

Twice in distant past, catastrophic extinction caused the end of evolution. Our first mammalian ancestors survived, some 250 million years agao. The second great mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs perished. It was thought to have been caused by earth's collision with an asteroid.

He declares tht the signs for a third mass extinction have alrady started on our planet. We need to find some way to save the rich diversity of life and birds now endangered by changes and climate. We must strive to preserve life as we know it before our own extermination by poisoning from the air we pollute.

Peter D. Ward is a paleontologist in Seattle (where the 'think tank' for intelligent thinking exists) and is associated with the University of Washington. In 1991, he wrote ON METHUSELAH'S TRAIL: LIVING FOSSILS AND THE GREAT EXTINCTION. He follows this END OF EVOLUTION with FUTURE EVOLUTION in 2001). In 2004, his mastrepiece was GORGONS: PALEONTOLOGY, OBSESSION, AND THE GREATEST CASTROPHE IN EARTH'S HISTORY. They are all parts of this book, which is a bit over my head.

A bit too Informative.......2003-03-12

This would definitely be the book for someone to read if they have the time and want to know just about everything from the Paleozoic to the Mesozoic, along with issues of extinctions facing humans today. Mr. Ward goes quite in-depth with all his information to give a very full picture of how our predecessors lived when they graced the Earth, along with the cause of their demise and eventually ours if we don't slow the destruction being done to the environment. The language is easy to read and understand, with the exception of the occasional not so well explained term (KT boundary, etc.). Interesting overall if you have an interest in the life from the start of the Paleozoic to current times and have time to spare.

END OF EVOLUTION MASS EXTINICT & BIODIVERSITY.......2003-03-11

END OF EVOLUTION MASS EXTINICT & BIODIVERSITY by WARD,PETER is a brilliant look into the history of planet Earth and the life that once inhibited this planet. Throughout the history mass extinctions have occured resulting in the destruction of old world also resulting in the evolution of a new world. Throughout the book Dr. Ward describes these mass extinctions and warns of another mass extinction that may take place if Human Beings are not careful. I strongly advice anyone who is remotely interested in Geology or in any sciences to read this book!
