The Last Ten Minutes of a Lesson are Very Important
How to Teach: The Book of Plenary by Phil Beadle I’ve read dozens of books on teaching and most of them are fairly straight-forward. It’s hard to describe, but this one is written with a sarcastic, witty, dark kind of tone. It sets it apart from other educational books, that’s for sure. The author admits…

Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero
