I have posted the database with only a small amount of the data that I have in it. My data is not that useful to others as it consists of the ideas that I thought were interesting along with the books and songs that I own.
To use the database, erase my data and enter your own. First use the category form to enter all the themes that you teach or would like to teach in the future. Then use the books and songs forms to enter all the books and songs that you own. The structure includes various report formats. The most useful report format is the one that collects all books, songs and teaching ideas for a particular category and prints them on a single page, like this:
clothing
(UPPERCASE DENOTES A BOOK WHICH I DO NOT OWN)
Teaching Ideas:
pattern JJ95p44
make a shoe shop
circle game ON95p27
socks FM96p28-9
clothes line FM96p62

You can download the database with a small amount of data in
it, just as an example of the kind of data it was designed to
hold. You will need an IBM compatible computer, an unzipping program
such as WinZip
, and Microsoft Access 97. If you have an earlier
version of Access, let me know and I will try to save to an earlier
format and e-mail it to you. You also need a working knowledge
of Access. I am not posting instructions on using the database,
but I will be happy to help anyone who e-mails
me
with questions.
