&bull a music CD with ten engaging songs performed by Monte Selby and some of the students who helped to write the songs, and
&bull innovative suggestions for classroom activities that will help middle school students recognize different viewpoints, develop support systems, practice strategies for communication, think critically, embrace failure as a learning tool, identify constructive responses to adults and others, foster self-awareness, develop teamwork and cooperation, evaluate both sides of an issue, practice skills in math, science, language arts, and more . . . Each song's foot-tapping rhythm, rhyme, and repetition will stick in students' heads—along with the important messages of the lyrics.
