From the founder of the internationally known Benchmark School,
this unique book presents a proven approach for helping struggling
students become fully engaged readers, learners, thinkers, and
problem solvers. Benchmark's research-based Interactive Learning
Model is clearly explained and illustrated with teacher-friendly,
how-to-do-it examples. Gaskins demonstrates ways to teach effective
strategies for decoding words and understanding concepts, and to
give students the skills to apply these strategies across the
curriculum based on their individual cognitive styles and the
specific demands of the task at hand. Comprehensive yet highly
readable, the book includes quick-reference charts and reproducible
figures and activities that can be used in all subject-matter
areas, grades 1 through 8.
This is a reader on the theme of women in the ancient world for
Intermediate Latin students. It contains introductions of each
selection, notes, a glossary and an index. A companion website has
been designed by the authors to be used in conjunction with the
text: http: //www.cnr.edu/home/sas/araia/companion.html
The transition from adapted texts to original language is a
difficult one for all beginning language students, but even more so
with Latin students. This reader has material that will encourage
the shift from decoding words to critical reading for ideas and
appreciation of language and style.
"Un mundo feliz" es un clasico de la literatura de este siglo.
Con ironia mordiente, el genial autor ingles plasma una sombria
metafora sobre el futuro, muchas de cuyas previsiones se han
materializado, acelerada e inquietantemente, en los ultimos anos.
La novela describe un mundo en el que finalmente se han cumplido
los peores vaticinios: triunfan los dioses del consumo y la
comodidad, y el orbe se organiza en diez zonas en apariencia
seguras y estables. Sin embargo, este mundo ha sacrificado valores
humanos esenciales, y sus habitantes son procreados in vitro a
imagen y semejanza de una cadena de montaje...
Modern Korean breaks new ground in the field of Korean studies by
providing students at last with an intermediate-level language
text. The volume emphasizes the development of reading proficiency,
but the exercises reinforce skills learned through conversation
practice. They use a communicative approach emphasizing
student-student and student-teacher interactions in real-life
scenarios. Twenty-four lessons are divided into two groups of
twelve lessons each. A single lesson consists of a main text,
written in expository or descriptive prose that often incorporates
a conversational style; a dialogue; a discussion of new word usage
and structural patterns; substitution and grammar drills;
exercises; and a vocabulary list. The second half of the book
introduces Chinese characters found in each lesson. Modern Korean
may be used for classroom instruction or self-study. Main text
topics cover a wide range of subjects including Korean history,
geography, holidays, literature, customs, and people, allowing
students to develop a better understanding of Korean society and
culture while improving their language skills.
