Book Description
The best classes have a life of their own, powered by student-led conversations that explore texts, ideas, and essential questions. In these classes, the teacher’s role shifts from star player to observer and coach as the students ▪ Think critically, ▪ Work collaboratively, ▪ Participate fully, ▪ Behave ethically, ▪ Ask and answer high-level questions, ▪ Support their ideas with evidence, and ▪ Evaluate and assess their own work. The Spider Web Discussion is a simple technique that puts this kind of class within every teacher’s reach. The name comes from the weblike diagram the observer makes to record interactions as students actively participate in the discussion, lead and support one another’s learning, and build community. It’s proven to work across all subject areas and with all ages, and you only need a little know-how, a rubric, and paper and pencil to get started. As students practice Spider Web Discussion, they become stronger communicators, more empathetic teammates, better problem solvers, and more independent learners—college and career ready skills that serve them well in the classroom and beyond. Educator Alexis Wiggins provides a step-by-step guide for the implementation of Spider Web Discussion, covering everything from introducing the technique to creating rubrics for discussion self-assessment to the nuts-and-bolts of charting the conversations and using the data collected for formative assessment. She also shares troubleshooting tips, ideas for assessment and group grading, and the experiences of real teachers and students who use the technique to develop and share content knowledge in a way that’s both revolutionary and truly inspiring.

Book Description
Margaret Rhyne loved and cared for her daughter Alexis for 29 years before Alexis unexpectedly passed away in 2005. Alexis began suffering seizures at eight weeks old, and never grew larger than a five-year-old. Even though Alexis was never able to walk, talk, or feed herself, Margaret worked to give Alexis a normal life, involving her in family functions, trips to the grocery store, and other opportunities for social interaction. This is the story of life after Alexis as well, including restoring a 1910 Sears catalogue home in Sedalia in honor of Alexis' memory.

RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW Alexis Wilson is a beautiful, confident, and successful woman who knows what she wants out of life. She’s been married for 10 years to her high school sweetheart, Reggie Wilson. It seems she has the perfect life until her husband cheats and the marriage ends. Her best friends Saundra, Alicia and Trina keep her grounded as she tries to find happiness once again. She meets, the handsome Ricky Lawson, who renews her faith that there are still good men in the world. The control Alexis once had over her life is gone when something unexpected happens and she realizes her life will never be the same. Her entrepreneurial goals and dreams for the future are put on hold when the reality of life takes over. Reggie Wilson finds out the grass is not greener on the other side, instead it’s risky and dangerous. A lesson that could make a man so desperate he would do anything to rid himself of his own self inflicted troubles. Saundra is a seasoned gold digger with a secret from her past that won’t allow her to love any man. She believes men are only good for sex and money; she must find the strength to overcome her hurtful past which holds the key to heal her future. Alicia struggles with her buffet style lust for men and the dangers of her reckless choices. Trina searches for love through risky sexual escapades until she meets Rodney. She thinks she’s found her soul mate until jealousy and insecurity destroys more than their relationship. As deep, dark, secrets come full circle and inner pain can no longer be hidden. The lustful behaviors and temptations lead to a devastating climax and all their lives are changed forever..... Right Here, Right Now.
