Teaching of a specific subject Books

Book SynopsisHow to Teach Story Writing at Key Stage 1 is a practical manual for teachers, to be used directly in the classroom. The book begins with a series of language games, designed to warm up creativity and strengthen the imagination. This is followed by a series of creative story workshops, based on the writer's own experience both as a teacher and poet running workshops in schools. These workshops focus on growing the roots of story writing through story telling and reading, and begin with the importance of learning a few well-known tales. There are ideas for drama, role-play and art, and a few model stories are provided for story telling. Other workshops explore simple ideas for creating new stories, based around simple familiar patterns. The book also offers advice on how to organize an effective workshop for younger children, and demonstrates how to teach story writing in a dynamic, creative and imaginative way in relationship with the KS1 national literacy framework. Workshops include the story of our lives; stories that make a circle; stories about problems; days of the week tales; humbug, stuff and nonsense stories; quests; repetitive tales; wishing stories; warning stories; and cooking the story soup.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Capturing stories – the story mountain Chapter 3 Imitation – retelling well-known tales Chapter 4 Innovation – altering well-known tales Chapter 5 Invention – making up your own tale Chapter 6 Characterisation Chapter 7 Creating settings Chapter 8 Skilful sections Chapter 9 All types of story Chapter 10 Writing style

Book Synopsis This book explores breathing and the atmosphere as leitmotifs for the design of an inclusive future in a new climate regime, uncovering intertwinements of societal activities with the air and the atmosphere. With this awareness of entanglement, the deeply performative characteristics of the air, atmosphere and climate are foregrounded and can be discovered as central agents in the conception and design of our planetary existence. This carefully edited collection brings together renowned authors from various disciplines, and their ideas, observations, and examples inspire us to rethink our forms of social action and design.

Book SynopsisSynthesizing the best current knowledge about early literacy, this comprehensive handbook brings together leading researchers from multiple disciplines. The volume identifies the instructional methods and areas of focus shown to be most effective for promoting young children's (PreK-2) growth in reading, writing, oral language, and the connections among them. In 33 chapters, the Handbook covers conceptual foundations; development and instruction of both code- and meaning-related literacy skills; professional development and family engagement; supporting equity across populations; and learning beyond traditional boundaries, including digital and out-of-school contexts. Highlighted throughout are issues around access to high-quality instruction, working with multilingual populations, and data-based decision making and interventions.Trade Review"This volume should explode, once and for all, the unhelpful myth that the large body of research known as the science of reading is a narrow, one-size-fits-all enterprise. The editors have wisely updated 'science of reading' to 'science of literacy,' a very welcome course correction. All literacy educators should spend some quality time with this handbook. Their efforts will be repaid, and their students--from preschool to graduate school--will benefit. I expect this handbook to become a standard reference in the field."--Claude Goldenberg, PhD, Nomellini and Olivier Professor of Education, Emeritus, Stanford University "With contributions from leading scholars, this handbook provides a comprehensive review of the research base on early literacy development and instruction. The volume captures the breadth and depth of knowledge about how early literacy emerges in children from diverse backgrounds, and how educators can promote it at home or in school. I recommend this handbook as a resource for preservice and inservice teacher preparation, as well as for ongoing professional learning and doctoral-level coursework. Researchers and practitioners will reference this work for years to come as they endeavor to give children the support they need to develop reading and writing proficiency."--Rebecca D. Silverman, EdD, Stanford Graduate School of Education "This impressive handbook is layered with multiple scholarly perspectives that are needed to advance the science of reading. The research shared has points of convergence and divergence that remind us our corpus of knowledge about early literacy is still expanding. This gift of a book should be studied and interrogated by those concerned about early literacy the world over."--Alfred W.

Book SynopsisMany parents feel uncomfortable with the thought of having âthe talkâ with their children, especially teenagers. But what many people donât realise is how much of sexuality education has nothing to do with sex itself. In this book, Clinical Sexologist Anisa Varasteh teaches the foundations of a comprehensive sexuality education for children and teenagers and answers the most common questions young people have about sex and sexuality. Contrary to popular belief, talking about sex and sexuality does not make young people more prone to sexual experimentation.

It identifies the barriers to having open conversations with children and teenagers, and outlines methods for how to overcome them.

Book SynopsisWhitney La Rocca and Jeff Anderson adapt their vibrant approach to grammar instruction in Patterns of Wonder, Grades Prek-1: Inviting Emergent Writers to Play with the Conventions of Language. Here, young, emergent writers are invited to notice the conventions of language and build off them in this inquiry-based approach to instructional grammar. The book comes with standards-aligned lessons that can be incorporated in just 10 minutes a day. Patterns of Wonder’s responsive, invitational approach allows young students to play and inquire about language and experiment, take risks, and have fun. Inside you’ll find: Ready-to-use lesson plan sets that pinpoint and build across the most common needs of emergent writers An adjusted invitational process adapted for young learners, and the "Phases of Emergent Writing" as tools to plan for effective, scaffolded instruction How to position grammar concepts about print instruction across three overlapping levels of support: oral language, illustrating, and writing Over 200 engaging picture book recommendations to stir curious classroom conversations Patterns of Wonder, Grades PreK-1 provides a simple classroom routine that is structured in length and approach, but provides teachers flexibility in choosing the texts, allowing for numerous, diverse voices in the classroom. The practice helps students build cognitive recognition and provides a formative assessment for teachers on student progress. Grounded in play, conversation, and most of all, wonder, Patterns of Wonder brings the authors’ irrepressible excitement for inquiry and writing instruction to the ways we support our Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st grade emergent writers. The Patterns of Power series also includes Patterns of Power, Grades 6-8: Inviting Adolescent Writers into the Conventions of Language; Patterns of Power, Grades 1-5: Inviting Young Writers into the Conventions of Language; Patterns of Power, Grades 9-12: Teaching Grammar Through Reading and Writing; and Patterns of Power en Español. Grades 1-5: Inviting Bilingual Writers into the Conventions of Spanish.Trade Review“Patterns of Wonder is pure gold. It is rooted in oral language, promotes play, and fosters a love of writing as it moves students through the phases of emergent writing. This book is going to transform instruction and be a resource that teachers reference daily.”—Angela Buccheri, P-5 Humanities Coordinator Wallingford Public Schools"I am so excited for Whitney and Jeff’s book to be in the hands of early childhood educators. In Patterns of Wonder they answer the question, 'What can developmentally-appropriate and engaging grammar, punctuation, and spelling instruction look like for our youngest writers?' Built on a strong research and theoretical foundation, they provide dozens of use-tomorrow lessons that will pique students’ curiosity about our written language and ignite wonder and excitement as they learn, play, and apply what they’ve learned to their own writing. Do away with the worksheets! Whitney and Jeff’s way of inviting children to learn these concepts will engage them so your teaching sticks."— Jennifer Serravallo, author of The Reading Strategies Book and The Writing Strategies Book“Whitney La Rocca and Jeff Anderson have created a revolutionary resource for inviting emergent writers to notice and WONDER about the conventions of language. Considering the intentionality of why and how behind an author’s choices, they inspire writers to compose powerful messages through oral language, illustrations, and words. The scaffolded lessons incorporate oral discussion, mentor texts, and play-based experiences to appropriately meet young students where they are in the phases of writing development, differentiating instruction, and moving writers forward one approximation at a time.”—Megan Marquez, M.Ed., Writing Specialist“Patterns of Wonder is the game changer teachers have been waiting for! Whitney and Jeff keep play at the center of emergent writers’ development with practical applications that are beautifully woven together. Every teacher should add this book to their toolkit.”—Sarah Ramirez, M.Ed., Literacy Coach“Imagine budding authors playfully celebrating the joy and possibility of written language as they share their stories.

Book SynopsisIt is widely recognised in Waldorf education that there should be a strong sculptural component in schools to balance with children's lessons in form drawing. The use of hands and sight to create physical forms, and the creativity that flows as a result, is an important experience for growing bodies and minds.This book, which focuses on non-representational sculpture, presents over 200 exercises for starting to work in clay, free from artistic pressure and full of fun and imagination.This is a companion volume to Learning about the World through Modeling.

Book SynopsisSome students think mathematically. They have the curiosity to notice relationships, the confidence to ask why, and the knowledge to understand the answer. They are the lucky ones.Many others just "do" maths. They look at a question, think about how to answer it, answer it, and then move on.In this book, Craig Barton, maths teacher and best-selling author of How I wish I'd taught maths, offers an approach to help all our students think mathematically. It requires the careful sequencing of questions and examples, the role of the teacher, and the mathematical behaviour of our students. It has transformed his teaching. Drawing upon research into the Self-Explanation Effect, the Hypercorrection Effect and Variation Theory, together with two years of developing this approach with teachers and students around the world, Craig describes exactly what this looks like in the classroom.But be warned: not everyone agrees. Indeed, it is this very approach that led to Craig being labelled as "the most dangerous and clueless man in maths education". If that is not a recommendation to keep reading, I don't know what is.Trade Review'This is another game-changer of a book from the formidable Mr Barton.' -- Jo Morgan, author of A COMPENDIUM OF MATHEMATICAL METHODSTable of ContentsForeword by Jo Morgan Introduction Chapter 1: Intelligent Practice Chapter 2: Where does Intelligent Practice fit in?

Book SynopsisFinally, mentor texts written by teenagers, to help your students craft convincing arguments.Trade Review"It is no secret that The New York Times Learning Network, and Katherine Schulten in particular, have long been a friend of the classroom teacher. This newest offering is no exception—providing everything a teacher needs for robust, authentic instruction in argumentative writing. The powerful essays provide vision and inspiration for student writers, while the instructional guide gives teachers step-by-step guidance for amplifying student voice and taking student writing to new heights. Simply put, this work is a gift. " -- Rebekah O’Dell, author of Beyond Literary Analysis and Writing with Mentors, and co-founder of MovingWriters.org"However hard I try to devise engaging writing topics, my ideas routinely fall flat. Why? Because they are mine. Katherine Schulten suggests a more effective approach—asking students to write about issues they care about—for example, why we should all eat more bugs. If you are suffering from the five-paragraph essay blues, these student essays offer fledgling writers models of what's possible in persuasive writing. They demonstrate how risk-taking pays off." -- Carol Jago, high school English teacher, past president of the National Council of Teachers of English, & author of The Book in Question: Why and How Reading is in Crisis"I think it's safe to say that many—if not most—of us teachers are always trying to figure out better ways to assist our students in becoming better writers. Katherine Schulten's two books are the best resources that have come along in years to help us do just that! They're filled with exceptional instructional strategies and marvelous examples and mentor texts. What's not to love?" -- Larry Ferlazzo, high school teacher, author, and Ed Week teacher advice columnist"The essays in Student Voice loudly proclaim what young writers are capable of: insightful opinions, thoughtful argument, compelling evidence, and—most importantly—lively writing. They will inspire young writers everywhere. And for teachers who hope for writing like this in their own classrooms, Raising Student Voice provides them with a teaching companion to help them along." -- Elyse Eidman-Aadahl, Executive Director, National Writing Project"Mentor texts from students are essential, and yet it is really hard to find good ones. The essays in Student Voice are marvelous, especially in regard to their voices, accessibility, range, and diversity. And the 35 points made in the teacher’s companion, Raising Student Voice, are wonderful; I love the voices of teachers, students, and argumentation experts." -- Matthew Johnson, author of Flash Feedback: Responding to Student Writing Better and Faster—Without Burning Out"I love this book. It practices what it preaches by being crisp, well written, and to-the-point. I want a copy now to hand out to my whole department." -- Alexis Wiggins, author of The Best Class You Never Taught and English Department Chair at The John Cooper School in The Woodlands, TX
