Memory-Boosting Mnemonic Songs for Content Area Learning
$14.99
I love to teach with songs to help students reinforce what they are learning. I love this book because I usually have to make up my own songs for teacher history, math, or science. This book has so many great songs. However, a few of the songs I want to use are sung to a tune/song I've never heard before. The book would be even better if it came with a CD of the music sung by children.

Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure
$14.99
The concept of this game is asolutely great. Anyone living in New York who is keen on urban culture can tell you that graffiti is a lot more than merely painting walls. This game definitely embodies the graffiti vibe. However, despite it's innovative concept and fairly good graphics, the game is somewhat limited.

The graffiti featured in the game is very nice and realistic, but there aren't that many styles for you to choose from. You are also forced to choose a specific set of styles which you can use for a given level. The application of the graffiti isn't too realistic. You move the stick from side to side and the graffiti just slowly appears on the surface. You don't actually outline or fill anything in. You also can't put any piece of graffiti on any surface. You are only able to place the bigger, more colorful burners in certain areas. This really takes away from the game's realism.

There is also a good amount of hand to hand combat in the game. It's fun for a while, but there's really too much focus on it. if the game is about graffiti, the focus should be on the process of putting the graff up rather than getting to the spot where it will be put up.

This game is definitely worth a play just to experience it, it's a very creative game. I feel they could have executed it much better though. If they created a sand-box type mode where you can walk around the city and just paint, it would be great. Otherwise, you have to stick to a strict format. Keep this in mind when buying!
