You Can't Learn Much from Books You Can't Read
• 1. List three of the problems with textbooks that Allington identifies. Do these problems ring true to you? Describe how you have seen this issue play out in a classroom.
shift around 4th grade to a learning that relies more heavily on textbooks
“one-size-fits-all” approach texts are written two or more years above the average grade level
vocabulary presented is much too technical and specialized
syntax found in the textbooks becomes
much more complex,
inferential thinking and prior knowledge are required of the reader
mismatch between the textbook and students reading capacity

• 2. What solutions does Allington offer to these problems? What do you think of his solutions? Are they realistic and practical? Have you seen any classrooms that use these solutions?
concepts of multi-sourced and multi-le
veled
curriculum
avoid the "one size fits all" approach
strictly remove the textbook all together,
but incorporate other facets of learning for
the students to utilize.
combine multiple level content texts and offers additional support for struggling readers.

The English Settle at Jamestown
• In April of 1607, the Virginia Company’s three ships reached the North American shore.
• The ships settled near Chesapeake Bay and built a Fort James to protect the settlement of Jamestown, named for their king.

A Disastrous Start
• Unlike Spanish Colonies, which were funded by Spanish rulers, the English colonies were originally funded by Joint-Stock Companies.
• Stock companies allowed investors to pool their wealth in support of a colony that would yield a profit.
• Investors in the Jamestown colony demanded a quick return on their investment, and the colonists hoped to find gold to satisfy them

• The colonist neglected farming, and soon contaminated river water struck them; followed by hunger.
A Disastrous Start

• John Smith who craved adventure; offered his services as a colonist to the Virginia Company (a group of merchants).
• Smith held the colony together by forcing the colonist to farm and securing food and support from the native Powhatan peoples.
A Disastrous Start

• Smith was injured and returned to England.
• Without Smiths leadership the colony deteriorated to the point of famine.
• The settlement was saved, by the arrival of new colonist and by the development of a highly profitable crop, tobacco.

Tobacco Requires a Supply of Labor
• In order to grow tobacco, the Virginia Company needed field laborers.
• Immigration jumped in 1618, when the company introduced the “headright system”, offering 50 acres of land to “adventurers” who would transport people from England.

• Many of those who arrived in Virginia, came as indentured servants.
• In exchange for passage to North America and food and shelter; an indentured servant agreed to a limited term of servitude (usually 4 to 7 years)
• Indentured servants were mainly from lower classes of English societies.

Ch. 8 Business Organization
• A sole proprietorship is a business owned and run by one person
• About 75% of all businesses in the U.S. are sole proprietorships, however, since most sole proprietorships are small they account for only 6% of all U.S. sales
• The biggest advantage of sole proprietorship is that the owner gets to keep all profits after paying income taxes (are also easy to start)

Partnerships• A partnership is a business
organization owned by 2 or more persons
• Partners must agree on how profits and responsibilities are divided
• General Partnership: is when partners share equally in both responsibility and liability (doctors, lawyers and accountants)
• Limited Partnership: Only one partner is required to be a general partner. That partner has control over the business but unlimited personal liability for the firm’s actions. Other partners contribute only money

• A newer type of partnership is the limited liability partnership in this type of partnership all partners are limited partners and are shielded from personal liability in certain situations
• Advantages: responsibility may be shared: each partner brings, different strengths and skills to the business
• Each partners assets, or money and other values, improve the firm’s ability to borrow funds for operations or expansion
