In A Path Unexpected, Evans shares her life, working as a journalist in
the big city, then moving to the small town of Viljoenskroon in the
northern Free State with her husband, Anthony Evans, a well-known and
respected businessman and farmer. It is here that she created her
non-profit organisation to provide education and training for the wives
and children of farm labourers during the height of apartheid. Her
profound influence on these families labels her as an activist for her
early childhood development (ECD) and adult teaching advocacy in rural
communities.
This memoir is about family, love, loss, finding purpose and dedicating
oneself to a life of service.
Eloquently written and told with great sensitivity and humility, this
is a memoir about how one woman’s unexpected path led to family-like
bonds in the unlikeliest of places, and a dream so profound that it
would impact generations of young learners and the women who teach them.
Charles Dickens is arguably the greatest storyteller in English
Literature and his novels have been loved and respected for nearly
two hundred years. As accurate reflections of Victorian society
they are unparalleled. Vivid characters and realistic settings are
created in the mind of the reader, all laced with Dickens
inimitable humour, wit and lacerating political comment.
This book aims to bring alive these characters and settings in
the minds of children. It provides a comprehensive resource for
children not only to learn about the literary heritage of the
English language, but also to encourage them to create meanings
from these classic stories through their personal, social and
cultural experiences. The authors set each novel in context,
providing a synopsis of the book, as well as characters, settings
themes and symbolism. Works covered include:
- A Christmas Carol
- Bleak House
- David Copperfield
- Great Expectations
- Hard Times
- Oliver Twist
But this book doesn t just aim to introduce classic literature
to children; it also provides a wide range of truly contemporary
tools with which they can respond creatively, including: drama and
film, blogs, web 2.0 technologies, multimodality and animation and
graphic novels.
The book is also accompanied by a CD which contains chapter
outlines, extended text extracts, and practical resource sheets,
including PowerPoint presentations, book review templates and flash
cards, as well as a set of 8 week lesson plans for each novel.
The Essential Charles Dickens School Resource provides essential
classroom learning material for teachers and literacy co-ordinators
teaching Key Stages 1 -3, as well as CPD students and those
studying on PGCE English/Drama courses.
Miguel de Unamuno (1864 - 1936) was a extraordinary Spanish
thinker, a philosopher, linguist, poet, novelist, short story
writer, essayist, playwright, professor, university administrator,
and Spanish public intellectual. He had great intellectual
integrity and moral courage. Unamuno is not an easy philosopher to
read. He loved paradoxes and even (at times) contradictions.
Various interpreters have called him an atheist, a sceptic, a
Protestant, a pantheist, a Catholic modernist, and a good Catholic.
Passages can be found in his writings that can be taken to support
all of these interpretations. In the present book, Jan E. Evans
does an incisive and thorough job of sorting through the Unamuno
corpus and arriving at a definitive interpretation of his views.
One great asset of Evans' work is the insight she gains by
comparing Unamuno's works with the philosophers whom he admired
most and considered his fellow travellers in the tragic sense of
life. These include Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662), William James
(1842 - 1910), and especially Soren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855). This
book examines the life and work of Unamuno through the lens of his
faith. Those who are not familiar with Unamuno will find here a
clear exposition of the most important themes in the thinker's work
along with a framework through which one can profitably begin to
read the primary texts.
English teachers are always keen to explore new ways of motivating
their pupils to engage with reading, both for learning and for
pleasure. Literacy Activities for Classic and Contemporary Texts
7-14 is a practical, friendly book which uses the 'whoosh' to cover
some of our best known classic and contemporary texts and offers a
thoroughly enjoyable way for pupils to become part of the story,
rather than just passive recipients of it. As an innovative and
active learning strategy, the whoosh technique allows all students,
regardless of gender, age, ability, learning need or command of
language, to partake on an equal footing. For younger pupils, the
activities in this book provide an ideal way to internalise
structure and key elements in story telling through physical
response. For older students, they provide an enjoyable way to
engage with challenging texts as well as facilitating the analysis
of themes, issues, characterisation and setting. Students
themselves become the story as its characters, sounds and even
objects - once they are familiar with whooshing, many students will
want to write and produce a whoosh of their own. Classic authors
and texts covered by this book include:- Aesop's fables, Greek
myths and legends; Beowulf, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Oscar
Wilde; Shakespeare (The Tempest, Twelfth Night, Hamlet, A Midsummer
Night's Dream); Charlotte Bronte, Charles Dickens, George Eliot,
Robert Louis Stevenson, Mary Shelley; Andrew Norriss , Frank
Cottrell Boyce, Nina Bawden, Michelle Magorian and much more... You
can use a whoosh to introduce a new text, to examine conflict,
dilemma, plot, setting or characterisation, whoosh a controversial
section of text to provoke discussion, or overcome reluctance to
engage with archaic language by whooshing key sections of a story.
Discussion starters, lesson objectives and follow-up activities are
included throughout the text alongside the whooshes, and scripts
enabling pupils to deliver dialogue are provided on the book's
eResource. This book is an invaluable resource, providing whooshes
across a wide range of genres to meet the learning needs of
children from 7 to 14, for both practising primary and lower
secondary teachers.

What do Pablo Picasso, Prince and Martin Luther King Jr have in
common? All have been described as having been highly sensitive
boys and all grew up to be outstanding, sensitive men. Too often,
adults think of sensitive boys as shy, anxious and inhibited. They
are measured against society's ideas about 'manliness' -- that all
boys are sociable, resilient and have endless supplies of energy.
This highly readable guide is for any adult wanting to know how to
understand and celebrate sensitive boys. It describes how thinking
about boys in such old-fashioned ways can cause great harm, and
make a difficult childhood all the more painful. The book
highlights the real strengths shared by many sensitive boys - of
being compassionate, highly creative, thoughtful, fiercely
intelligent and witty. It also flips common negative cliches about
sensitive boys being shy, anxious and prone to bullying to ask
instead: what we can do to create a supportive environment in which
they will flourish? Full of simple yet sage advice, this book will
help you to encourage boys to embrace their individuality, find
their own place in the world, and to be the best they can be.
The fineness of Roman imperial and provincial coinage has been
regarded as an indicator of the broader fiscal health of the Roman
Empire, with the apparent gradual decline of the silver content
being treated as evidence for worsening deficits and the
contraction of the supply of natural resources from which the coins
were made. This book explores the composition of Roman silver
coinage of the first century AD, re-examining traditional
interpretations in the light of an entirely new programme of
analyses of the coins, which illustrates the inadequacy of many
earlier analytical projects. It provides new evidence for the
supply of materials and refining and minting technology. It can
even pinpoint likely episodes of recycling old coins and, when
combined with the study of hoards, hints at possible strategies of
stockpiling of metal. The creation of reserves bears directly on
the question of the adequacy of revenues and fiscal health.
Once upon a time there was a Little Meerkat with a very important

turn at being the lookout meerkat - watching for dangers to protect
the meerkat gang. It was all going well until Little Meerkat fell
asleep and woke up to find everyone had disappeared! This sent
Little Meerkat into one very big panic. With help from Small
Elephant and Mini Monkey, can Little Meerkat calm down and find the
missing meerkats? This playful full-colour storybook shows children
aged 2-6 easy ways for them to calm their body and brain when
feeling anxious. It also includes guidance for parents or
professionals on the neuroscience behind the strategies, and how
they can use the book to help children.

'A very practical text that provides professionals new to this
arena with a good introduction to what they can expect to encounter
in online work. The book contains numerous thought-provoking
examples and exercises for those contemplating work in virtual
arenas' - Terry Hanley, Lecturer in Counselling, University of
Manchester `It's tempting to think that face-to-face experience
translates straightforwardly to online work. But it doesn't. Jane
Evans shows how many different aspects there are to counselling
on-line... My advice would be, don't attempt it until you have
worked through this book' - Professor Michael Jacobs, author of
Psychodynamic Counselling in Action Counsellors - and other
professionals who provide emotional support and guidance - are
increasingly working online. The difference between online and
face-to-face interaction with clients is vast and practitioners
need to equip themselves with specialist knowledge and skills to
ensure that they are being effective. Online Counselling and
Guidance Skills is the first book to deal with the practicalities
of this mode of working. It looks at how practitioners need to
adapt their basic counselling skills to the online environment and
guides them through the process of setting up, defining and
maintaining a working relationship with a client within
professional, ethical and legal boundaries. Case studies and
extracts from online sessions show how the skills are put into
practice, while practical exercises and points for further
consideration help readers to develop their own knowledge and
skills. Until now, books and articles have generally focused on the
therapeutic work done by counsellors online. However, this book
addresses people who use counselling skills in a wide range of
contexts; including counselling, education, mental health, social
care and careers guidance.
Cyril Squirrel asks lots of questions, but there's one thing that
really puzzles Cyril... "What is love? Can I find it? Keep it? Do I
need it?" With a notebook and a map, Cyril embarks on a quest to
find out about love. "Gone away to find out what love is. Back
soon." Helping children to learn about the ways that love can look,
sound or feel, this heart-warming picture book shows some of the
many different forms love, friendship and kindness take. Suitable
for all children aged 2-6, especially those who may have confused
ideas about love, Cyril's adventure includes guidance for adults on
how the book can be read with children.
