You know Michael W. Smith as one of contemporary Christian music's
most popular artists. Friends Are Friends Forever looks beyond the
musician to present a man who relies on scripture to provide daily
guidance. He says, 'I'd like to tell you a few stories from my
life, some wrong roads I've traveled, some right decisions I've
made, and how God has often taken my mistakes and turned them into
something good.
This book describes the effects of cold climates on the surface of
the earth. Using scientific principles, the authors describe the
evolution of ground thermal conditions and the origin of natural
features such as frost heave, solifluction, slope instabilities,
patterned ground, pingos and ice wedges. The thermodynamic
conditions accompanying the freezing of water in porous materials
are examined and their fundamental role in the ice segregation and
frost heave processes is demonstrated in a clear and simple manner.
This book concentrates on the analysis of the causes and effects of
frozen ground phenomena, rather than on the description of the
natural features characteristic of freezing or thawing ground. Its
scientific approach provides a basis for geotechnical analyses such
as those essential to resource development.
Critical thinking and online reading need to go hand in hand—but
they often don’t. Students click, swipe, and believe because they
don’t know how to do otherwise. At times, so do we. And that’s
a problem. Fighting Fake News combats this challenge by helping you
model how to read, myth-bust, truth-test, and respond in ways that
lead to wisdom rather than reactivity. No matter what content you
teach, the lessons showcased here provide engaging, collaborative
reading and discussion experiences so students can: Notice how
teacher and peers read digital content, to be mindful of how
various reading pathways influence perception Identify the author
background, the website sponsor, and other evidence that help set a
piece in context Stress-test the facts by evaluating news sources,
reading laterally, and other critical reading strategies Use
"Reader’s Rules of Notice" to learn to identify common rhetorical
devices used to influence the reader Be aware of how for-profit
social media platforms feed on our responses to narrow rather than
widen our reading landscape We are still in the wild west era of
the digital age, scrambling to impart a safer, ethical framework
for evaluating information. Thankfully, it distills to one mission:
teach students (and ourselves) how to think critically, and we will
forever have the tools to fight fake news.
"One of the most gripping stories to come out of the shooting at Columbine High School" is told in the acclaimed national bestseller that illuminates the most remarkable aspect of 17-year-old Cassie Bernall's tragic death: her life. She Said Yes is an "intense and fascinating memoir" (Publishers Weekly) of an ordinary teenager growing up in suburban Colorado, and faced -- as all teenagers are -- with difficult choices and pressures. It is only now, when the world knows Cassie Bernall as one of the Columbine High students killed by two rampaging schoolmates, that the choices she made offer a profound relevance for us all. Once a rage-filled young woman who walked a path similar to that of her killers, Cassie found a way out of her personal snares and, through her faith and a family's love, chose to embrace life with courage and conviction. Told with unflinching honesty by her mother, Misty Bernall, Cassie's story is "a profoundly human story that should be read by every parent and every teenager" (New York Post).

Multi-Platinum artist, best-selling author and acclaimed actor Michael W. Smith is proud to announce a new album, “A Million Lights,” set for a February 16th 2018 release.
USA TODAY Online and printed feature on their album announcement day, said “Michael W Smith is shining brighter than ever.” A Million Lights was fueled by the divisive national sentiment of 2017 and the mean-spirited banter on social media. “About half the album was written in response to where we are as a nation,” says Michael. “In the age of social media, people have forgotten how to talk with one another, to be civil.” Eager to experiment with new sounds, Michael enlisted multiplatinum producer and songwriter Brian Todd (Miley Cyrus and Rascal Flatts) and songsmith Kyle Lee to help flesh out his vision for the new songs. “I called a bunch of people I’d never written with because I wanted to push myself and experiment.” The result is a beautiful collection of sweeping, epic new songs that sees Michael exploring new ground with music created to enlighten, mesmerize and touch the soul of listeners. “Until the world ends, music is the most powerful language there is. It can transform your life on every level, not just the spiritual. It can help people reconnect with why they’re here. That’s what I’m doing with A Million Lights.” Michael has been releasing new music regularly and performing around the world to sold-out crowds for the last 30+ years. During his storied career, he’s written 32 #1 singles, been honored with three Grammy Awards and 45 Dove Awards, was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and has sold more than 15 million albums. He’s also given back to the global community. Michael has raised funds to battle AIDS in Africa alongside longtime friend Bono; started Rocketown, a safe haven for young people in Tennessee to meet and find hope; and has helped more than 70,000 children through Compassion International. On November 11th, Michael will embark on his annual Christmas Tour with Amy Grant. Tour dates below.

How do we engage students and ensure they understand argument
writing's fundamental components? How do we take them from "Here's
what I think" to "Here's what I think. Here's what makes me think
that. And here's why it matters"? This book shows the way, with
ready-to-implement lessons that make argument writing topical and
relevant. Students are first asked to form arguments about subjects
that matter to them, and then to reflect on the structure of those
arguments, a process that provides learners with valuable, reusable
structural models. Throughout the book, the authors provide helpful
instructional tools, including Literary, nonfiction, and
author-created simulated texts that inspire different points of
view. Complete with guidance on applying the lessons' techniques in
a broader, unit-wide context, Developing Writers of Argument offers
a practical approach for instructing students in this crucial
aspect of their lifelong development.
