Children can read the main body of the chapter either independently, in a group, or as a whole class. The final part of each chapter, which can be introduced by the class teacher, outlines an exciting way for the children to share what they have learnt from reading about the scientist. From letters posted in magical time-portal letter boxes to raps written for YouTube shows, each chapter's written outcome is unique and engaging. The 'How to make your writing great' sections can be used as success criteria to help children scaffold their written responses.

Mayhem is unleashed when an ancient spell is used, unwittingly, by a little known 80's rock band, Dogs Diablo, as part of their act at a prehistoric stone circle. Time and space begin to unravel, with potentially disastrous consequences. The boundaries between the worlds of planet Earth and the far-distant planet of Xi become blurred, and the hapless band somehow find themselves transported to the strange and dangerous world of Xi. Enter Frea, a feisty young Xian witch, and her uncle Arthakary Demus, a sorcerer, who, along with his fellow sorcerers, inhabits a strange pan-dimensional time-machine called Thramod. It is up to them to try to put things right before it is too late. This involves locating and returning the band to their own planet, Earth, along with the book of spells. Sounds simple? Think again. Apart from having to rescue the four intellectually challenged musicians, their efforts are thwarted by Wicket, a crazy megalomaniacal cat with the ability to talk, and the Spinning Doors Invastabrux, a sentient machine that powers Thramod. Throw into the mix the various exotic characters that try to help Frea in her quest and those, who, in the name of the much feared Dark Lord, try to hinder her, and you have a hilarious roller-coaster of an adventure.

Loving the Real Israel - An educational agenda for liberal Zionism (Paperback): Alex Sinclair Loving the Real Israel - An educational agenda for liberal Zionism (Paperback)
Alex Sinclair
R558 Discovery Miles 5 580 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Israel education has been taking on an increasing high profile in the Jewish community. But is it effective? Can old messages speak to a new generation? Or is a new approach called for?
LOVING THE REAL ISRAEL draws from the writings of Jewish philosophers, educational theorists, and Bible scholars to offer principles for a new liberal Zionist engagement. LOVING THE REAL ISRAEL provides guidance for educators in constructing meaningful Israel educational experiences, as well as for liberal Zionists who want to discuss Israel issues with their friends, family, and community.
About the Author
Alex Sinclair is director of programs in Israel Education for the Jewish Theological Seminary. He received his PhD in Jewish Education from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and has taught at the Hartman Institute, the Schechter Institute, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and served as director of research for MAKOM, the Israel Engagement think tank of the Jewish Agency.


Advance Praise
Alex Sinclair brilliantly and critically addresses ones of the central challenges facing the Jewish people today: the relationship between Israel and world Jewry. In arguing for a new Israel engagement agenda founded on the amalgamation of the principles of passion, caring and anger, Alex challenges us to redefine the foundations of the relationship and sets the ground for a possible future free from paternalism, passivity and alienation.
- Rabbi Donniel Hartman, president, Shalom Hartman Institute and director of its iEngage Project
An intelligent guide to teaching and communicating to Jewish audiences about Israel in a manner that is loving but frank. An important addition to the discourse on Israel education. I recommend it highly.
- Dr. Donald A. Sylvan, former president of Jewish Education Service of North America
Sinclair proposes a bold new agenda for Israel/Zionism education in the Diaspora, an educational vision that calls for a substantive shift in how many Israel educators think and teach. His ideas are well developed and carefully researched, though not without controversy. I encourage all those who care about Israel to read this book.
- Dr. Marc N. Kramer, executive director, RAVSAK: The Jewish Community Day School Network
A thought-provoking and timely book.
- Tom Dine, former executive director of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)
