X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Status: O Content-Length: 3623 Lines: 127 Thanks David. This is a very helpful site. I especially like the extensive 'measurable verbs' list that have been categorized. I am somewhat familiar with the work of Madeline Hunter who is referenced in the OTAN site. Are you familiar with Dr. Bob Kizlik's site, Adprima, at http://www.adprima.com/? I have also found the book "Learning Teaching" by Jim Scrivener very useful. Additionally, CAELA has good ideas for planning lessons in their Toolkit. Again, thanks for this great site.
