Librarians, teachers, and media specialists always need new ways to engage students in learning. Here are 19 theme-based, three-dimensional bulletin board designs to inspire and direct learning in fifth through ninth grades. The boards are grouped into five subject areas, and each board and its activities can either be used alone or as part of a series. For example, the "Flight" section features eye-catching and educational boards spotlighting outer space, the Tuskegee Airmen, hot air balloons, and NASA. More than just decoration, each board is the centerpiece of a focused effort involving numerous learning activities across the curriculum. This work illustrates each board and gives detailed construction steps, suggestions for books and other items to include in the board's area, and several activity sheets that direct students to read, write, explore, and create as part of an engaging experience that attracts even the resistant learner. With these exciting ideas, library staff and teachers will find it easy to use these plans, or find inspiration for their own.

Back to the ’50s, a book of poems highlighting life in America during the 1950s by Earlene Green Evans will take you on an exciting trip without luggage or a ticket. After experiencing the ‘good old days,’ you may not want to return to reality. You will stroll the street of an ideal crime-free neighborhood. How about squeezing into a neighbor’s crowded living room to view outrageous, funny comedians or cowboys and Indians on a dinner plate size black and white television screen. You will make an appearance in your stylish poodle skirt with a matching off-shoulder blouse. Then, rack your brains trying to understand the impact of Russia’s Sputnik. Dance to exhaustion with the music of the famous Drifters. Perhaps you just prefer to relax in the cool breeze on a strong tree limb with your favorite book. Back to the ’50s will definitely rekindle buried feelings, old habits and foggy thoughts of people, places and things in the safe haven of the fabulous ’50s.
