Long before they?re able to talk, babies have a whole lot to say.
With this adorable board book of essential signs, babies and
toddlers can easily learn how to communicate their needs, wants,
and feelings?and even make basic observations?with a simple
gesture. Studies show that babies who use sign language feel less
frustrated, throw fewer tantrums, and often learn to talk more
easily. Just point to a sign in the book, say the word while making
the sign, and the baby will soon be signing. Communicating a wet
diaper or a hungry belly, asking for help or saying ?all done?
becomes as easy as waving hello or good-bye. And these are just a
few of the thirteen signs inside this small and adorably
illustrated board book, perfect for little hands?and minds?to
grasp.

Hope in a Ballet Shoe tells the story of Michaela DePrince. Growing
up in war-torn Sierra Leone, she witnessed atrocities that no child
ever should. Her father was killed by rebels and her mother died of
famine. Sent to an orphanage, Michaela was mistreated and saw the
brutal murder of her favourite teacher. Then Michaela and her best
friend are adopted by an American couple, and Michaela begins to
take dance lessons. But life in the States isn't without
difficulties. Unfortunately, tragedy can find its way to Michaela
in America, too, and her past can feel like it's haunting her. The
world of ballet is a racist one, and Michaela has to fight for a
place amongst the ballet elite, hearing the words 'America's not
ready for a black girl ballerina.' And yet . . . Today, Michaela
DePrince is an international ballet star, dancing for The Dutch
National Ballet at the age of nineteen. This is a heart-breaking,
inspiring autobiography by a teenager who shows us that, beyond
everything, there is always hope for a better future.
Provides workshop activities and dramatic sketches for student actors.
Teaching Through Embodied Learning positions drama as an
under-utilised but valuable tool for enhancing the learning of
information in primary science texts. Creating a 'tableau' is an
established drama practice for exploring key moments in fiction
texts and historical events but less frequently applied with
non-fiction texts. Based on doctoral research that studied the
impact of having students create a tableau in response to reading
informational texts about the solar system, it presents the idea
that using drama with informational texts causes students to read
purposefully and respond aesthetically; thus, positively impacting
reading behaviour, comprehension and social behaviour. The book
addresses the neglect of the body in learning and positions this
against a narrow curriculum that is focused on print and 'seated
learning'. Within a current context, it acknowledges increasing
concerns by educational leaders and academics of the need for a
'broad and balanced curriculum' and pedagogical practice. In
support of these concerns, the book places tableau as an embodied
learning mode that broadens curriculum experience and discusses
recent research that highlights the role of drama and the body in
enhancing cognition. Teaching Through Embodied Learning will be
essential reading for academics, researchers and post-graduate
students in the fields of education and drama education. It will
also greatly appeal to teacher educators, drama teachers and
academics in literacy departments.
