At every corner, down every block, a city percolates with people at
work and play: girls jumping double Dutch, the shoeshine man
polishing a pair of wing tips, boys heading toward the basketball
court. Each neighborhood is filled with unique characters (the
beautician, the barber, the short-order cook) and places (the
storefront churches, the outdoor market, the park pool) - all as
familiar as family. Carole Boston Weatherford pays tribute to these
sights and sounds of urban life in twenty fresh and rhythmic poems.
In quiet moments and lively street scenes, her work captures the
excitement and diversity found in these places that have "no trees
/ to climb" but where people young and old still "reach for the
stars." Dimitrea Tokunbo's vivid illustrations are sure to delight.

Sixteenth century Italy produced a genius who marked the world with
his studies and hypotheses about mathematical, physical and
astronomical truths. His father, musician Vincenzio Galilei said,
“Truth is not found behind a man’s reputation. Truth appears
only when the answers to questions are searched out by a free mind.
This is not the easy path in life but it is the most rewarding.”
Galileo challenged divine law and the physics of Aristotle, and
questioned everything in search of truths. And it was through this
quest for truth that he was able to establish a structure for
modern science.

This is it! Here's the perfect venue for intermediate teachers to
combine thinking skills and vocabulary development. Step into the
21st century with lessons that not only present students with
analogies, but also provide them with instructions on how to best
solve these verbal puzzles. An analogy is a comparison between two
things. It points out the similarities or likenesses between things
that might be different in all other respects. These exercises not
only build thinking skills and make students more flexible and
analytical; they also enhance vocabulary and writing skills.
Intermediate students will get a jump on thinking skills and test
taking strategies with these sure-to-please exercises. Whether this
book is their first encounter with analogies or whether they are
veterans with a great deal of experience, Analogies for the 21st
Century gives them the tools they need in a fun-to-use format. It
provides thinking strategies to help recognize the unique
relationships between paired items and how these relationships can
be replicated. Each lesson introduces new types of analogies, gives
examples, and offers hints on solving the analogies. Vocabulary
reflects today's culture, and helpful hints help students to build
skills that will allow them to perform better on tests. This is one
of a series of analogy books. For younger students, use First Time
Analogies or Analogies for Beginners. For older students, use
Thinking Through Analogies or Advancing Though Analogies. Grades
4-6
