This box of comprehension cards covers: High-interest short
passages of text along with five comprehension questions that
prompt students to identify and effectively cite text evidence A
variety of genres Comprehension-helper cards that provide
kid-friendly definitions, tips, and examples to help students
master reading skills On each of the 100 text cards there is a
passage of age-appropriate text with an illustration and five
comprehension questions related to the passage. The 10 different
questions types in this non-fiction box are: Author's Purpose -
Questions focused on the reason the author chose to write a text.
Authors may write with more than one purpose in mind. Cause and
Effect - Questions focused on an event or action that makes
something happen in a story and the result or consequence of that
event or action. Compare and Contrast - Questions focused on
looking closely at two or more things (characters, settings, plots,
etc.) to see how they are similar. And looking closely at two or
more things to see how they are different. Debate - Questions
focused on a discussion between two (or more) sides with different
views. Description - Questions focused on When words are used to
create a 'picture' in the mind. Fact and Opinion - Questions
focused on Facts, information that is true and doesn't vary And
Opinions, personal beliefs or feelings. Opinions do vary. Main Idea
and Details - A literal question, one which you may remember from
reading the text and can answer straight away. One to show that you
have read/understood the text. A direct quotation is not required.
Problem and Solution - Questions focused on the main problem of a
story and the solution to, or outcome of, the problem or conflict.
Not all resolutions are happy ones. Sequence of events - Questions
focused on the plot and the order of events in a plot (beginning,
middle, end) Summarise - Questions focused on creating a brief
statement about a text using only the most important details. The
fifth question on each card will be a S-T-R-E-T-C-H question, a
creative thinking question such as writing sentences using
words/phrases from the story, describing something from the story,
explaining what might happen next, describing a real-life event
that's connected to the story, asking an opinion on the story or
character from the story. Age-appropriate helper cards provide
background information to help children respond knowledgeably to
the comprehension questions. There are 14 helper cards in this box
covering: Author's purpose Cause and Effect Compare and Contrast
Context Clues Debate Description Fact and opinion Inference
Information Text Main Idea and Details Problem and Solution
Sequence of Events Summarise Text Evidence Also includes a
Teacher's Booklet to provide ideas on how to use the cards and

appealing and inviting, to carefully chosen activities that
encourage children's self-confidence and generate positive
attitudes.

their self-esteem, physical and mental health, but most importantly
ensure they have fun. Use these ideas to refresh repetitive
routines. If they go smoothly, then the rest of the day will too.
This collection is an interdisciplinary edited volume that examines
the circulation of Darwinian ideas in the Atlantic space as they
impacted systems of Western thought and culture. Specifically, the
book explores the influence of the principle tenets of Darwinism --
such as the theory of evolution, the ape-man theory of human
origins, and the principle of sexual selection -- on established
transatlantic intellectual traditions and cultural practices. In
doing so, it pays particular attention to how Darwinism
reconfigured discourses on race, gender, and sexuality in a
transnational context. Covering the period from the publication of
The Origin of Species (1859) to 1933, when the Nazis (National
Socialist Party) took power in Germany, the essays demonstrate the
dissemination of Darwinian thought in the Western world in an
unprecedented commerce of ideas not seen since the Protestant
Reformation. Learned societies, literary groups, lyceums, and
churches among other sites for public discourse sponsored lectures
on the implications of Darwin's theory of evolution for
understanding the very ontological codes by which individuals
ordered and made sense of their lives. Collectively, these
gatherings reflected and constituted what the contributing scholars
to this volume view as the discursive power of the cultural
politics of Darwinism.

In the decades between the Berlin Conference that partitioned
Africa and the opening of the African Hall at the American Museum
of Natural History, Americans in several fields and from many
backgrounds argued that Africa had something to teach them.
Jeannette Eileen Jones traces the history of the idea of Africa
with an eye to recovering the emergence of a belief in "Brightest
Africa"--a tradition that runs through American cultural and
intellectual history with equal force to its "Dark Continent"
counterpart. Jones skillfully weaves disparate strands of
turn-of-the-century society and culture to expose a vivid trend of
cultural engagement that involved both critique and activism.
Filmmakers spoke out against the depiction of "savage" Africa in
the mass media while also initiating a countertradition of
ethnographic documentaries. Early environmentalists celebrated
Africa as a pristine continent while lamenting that its unsullied
landscape was "vanishing." New Negro political thinkers also wanted
to "save" Africa but saw its fragility in terms of imperiled human
promise. Jones illuminates both the optimism about Africa
underlying these concerns and the racist and colonial interests
these agents often nevertheless served. The book contributes to a
growing literature on the ongoing role of global exchange in
shaping the African American experience as well as debates about
the cultural place of Africa in American thought.
