It can feel good to be angry. It can feel better to stop.
Swarm of Bees! Swarm of Bees! You are SO angry! What will you do?
Watch out! A mischievous boy has unleashed an angry swarm of bees! The result is a zany gallop through a charming town where readers will encounter evidence of some bad behaviour, some frenzied anger and thankfully, a hug and some spaghetti.
From best-loved children's author Lemony Snicket and the supremely talented illustrator Rilla Alexander.
A powerful coming-of-age story about chance encounters, injustice
and how the choices that we make can completely change our future.
The second YA novel from the critically acclaimed Danielle Jawando,
perfect for fans of Angie Thomas, Gayle Foreman, Jennifer Niven and
Nikesh Shukla. 'Jawando's writing is incredibly raw and real; I
felt completely immersed' Alice Oseman When fourteen-year-old Shaq
is stabbed outside of a busy shopping centre in Manchester, three
teenagers from very different walks of life are unexpectedly
brought together. What follows flips their worlds upside down and
makes Chantelle, Jackson, and Marc question the deep-rooted
prejudice and racism that exists within the police, the media, and
the rest of society. Praise for When Our Worlds Collided: 'A raw,
unflinching and powerful story that will stay with me for a long
time' Manjeet Mann, author of The Crossing 'A beautiful ode to
found family, and a compassionate look at the power of connection
borne from the ashes of tragedy and apathy' Christina Hammonds
Reed, author of The Black Kids 'Hard-hitting yet still hopeful,
this is an emotional powerhouse of a book' Alexandra Sheppard,
author of Oh My Gods Praise for And the Stars Were Burning
Brightly: 'An outstanding and compassionate debut' Patrice
Lawrence, author of Orangeboy 'An utter page turner from a storming
new talent. Passionate, committed and shines a ray of light into
the darkest places - the YA novel of 2020!' Melvin Burgess, author
of Junk 'One of the brightest up and coming stars of the YA world'
Alex Wheatle, author of Crongton Knights
This book is intended for prospective secondary teachers,
university education and human development faculty and students,
and in-service secondary school teachers. The text focuses on the
current environment of adolescents. Physical growth, sexuality,
nutrition, exercise, and substance abuse receive attention. Social
development depends on consideration of advice given by peers and
adults. Neuroscience insights are reported on information
processing, attention and distraction. Detection of cheating, cyber
abuse, and parental concerns are considered. Career exploration
issues are discussed. Visual intelligence, creative thinking, and
Internet learning are presented with ways to help students gauge
risks, manage stress, and acquire resilience. Peers become the most
prominent influence on social development during adolescence, and
they recognize the Internet as their greatest resource for locating
information. Teachers want to know how to unite these powerful
sources of learning, peers and the Internet, to help adolescents
acquire teamwork skills employers will expect of them. This goal is
achieved by implementing Collaboration Integration Theory. Ten
Cooperative Learning Exercises and Roles (CLEAR) at the end of
chapters allow each student to choose one role per chapter.
Insights gained from these roles are shared with teammates before
work is submitted to the teacher. This approach enables students to
select assignments, expands group learning, and makes everyone
accountable for instruction. The adult teacher role becomes more
creative as they design exercises and roles that differentiate team
learning. Using Zoom or other platforms a teacher can observe or
record cooperative team sharing. Involvement with CLEAR can enable
prospective teachers to apply this system to empower their
secondary students.
Meet a green-fingered family whose diverse community is bursting
with love in this lushly illustrated and lyrical picture book. This
beautiful and warmly-told story teaches us that love really does
grow everywhere, in all shapes, forms and sizes. Through gentle,
rhyming text and vibrant illustrations, feel the love in a
close-knit family who grow plants and sell them in their local
market, and discover the types of love that exist in the many homes
of their diverse community. There are kisses from Dad, songs with
Grandma, charity from neighbours and playtime with friends. There's
old love, new love and everything in between! But there's a new kid
who is not quite so sure... Can the gardeners' daughter be brave
and extend the love to him? Beautiful and characterful
illustrations from the exceptionally talented Tisha Lee help bring
this book to life, and the gentle rhyming text from Barry Timms
helps underscore the message of kindness, charity and love. This
warm and charming tale, perfect for Valentine's Day and beyond,
celebrates the many different ways love grows to make a brighter
world.
