We've worked with teachers to develop versions of our core
textbooks that feature reduced content and language level,
providing greater support and enabling students of all abilities to
progress. Now available for the seven most popular options, these
foundation versions help make the GCSE content more accessible and
are designed to be easy-to-use alongside the core textbooks in a
mixed ability classroom and are also ideal for home learning. How
have we made them more accessible? We've reduced the level of the
language to remove difficult words or phrases when possible. All
the titles have been reviewed for reading age by a language expert.
Easy-to-use alongside the core GCSE textbooks with content covered
on each spread matched so you can use both versions together in a
mixed ability classroom. More of the difficult words that students
need to know are explained in key terms boxes, with definitions
repeated through the books to reinforce learning. We've made our
explanations more accessible for students targeting a grade 5 or
below. Where possible, we've replaced paragraphs of text with
easy-to-understand flow diagrams, mind maps or charts so there is
significantly less text on the pages for students to tackle. The
level of demand in the activities has been reduced and some of the
harder ones removed. Exam tips have been re-focused to offer advice
so that students of all abilities can secure as many marks as
possible. The 'Preparing for your exam' chapters have been
thoroughly rewritten with answers and commentary for students
working towards a grade 5. New artworks have been added to make
explanations more visual.

Triple bill of horror movies. 'Hiding' (2012) stars Ana Villafañe
as a young woman attempting to begin a new life following the
brutal murder of her parents. Taken into the care of a witness
protection programme, a new identity is established for Jo
(Villafañe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her
past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog
(Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo
could be forgiven for thinking that the protection programme has
failed to keep her identity safe from the man she is due to testify
against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping
trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously
wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her
murder. As she flees through the woods from pursuers Harrison (Ryan
Honey) and Cooger (Denny Kirkwood), Annie comes across a small
cabin inhabited by the loner Kyle (Michael Biehn), but will he help
her or hinder her? 'Beneath the Dark' (2010) is a psychological
thriller from first-time director Chad Feehan. Driving through the
Mojave Desert on their way to the wedding of an old college friend,
Paul and Adrienne (Josh Stewart and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) stop for the
night at Roy's Motel. Confronted by a surreal atmosphere and their
equally strange hosts, Frank and Sandy (Chris Browning and Angela
Featherstone), Paul begins to feel uneasy about his new
surroundings and wonders what lies in store for them.

large port city's close-knit neighborhoods have adapted to changes

romanticism through firsthand accounts of people who call these
places home. Journey back to the beginnings of Hundred Oaks,

Southdowns and many more popular places to settle down.

his Cleaver plays ita s part. Will this be the wind down to a
stable married life and family. Again who can say, now possessing a
Wife and Child with another to yet be born, peace and quiet will
return to the Border with a new Monarch to rule both Scotland and
England under one Crown, but that is still a few years ahead.
Moody. Reckless. Impractical. Insecure. Distracted. These are all
words commonly used to describe adolescents. But what if we recast
these traits in a positive light? Teens possess insight, passion,
idealism, sensitivity, and creativity in abundance-all qualities
that can make a significant positive contribution to society. In
this thought-provoking book, Thomas Armstrong looks at the power
and promise of the teenage brain from an empathetic, strength-based
perspective-and describes what middle and high school educators can
do to make the most of their students' potential. Thoroughly
grounded in current neuroscience research, the book explains what
we know about how the adolescent brain works and proposes eight
essential instructional elements that will help students develop
the ability to think, make healthy choices, regulate their
emotions, handle social conflict, consolidate their identities, and
learn enough about the world to move into adulthood with dignity
and grace. Armstrong provides practical strategies and real-life
examples from schools that illustrate these eight key practices in
action. In addition, you'll find a glossary of brain terms, a
selection of brain-friendly lesson plans across the content areas,
and a list of resources to support and extend the book's ideas and
practices. There is a colossal mismatch between how the adolescent
brain has evolved over the millennia and the passive, rote learning
experiences that are all too common in today's test-obsessed
educational climate. See the amazing difference-in school and
beyond-when you use the insights from this book to help students
tap into the power of their changing brains.

Alex Gibney directs this documentary exploring the controversial
career of American cyclist Lance Armstrong. Gibney followed
Armstrong, a seven-time Tour de France champion, on his return to
racing in 2009. Armstrong's goal in returning was to defy
persistent allegations that his past victories were in part due to
doping, but in 2012 he was handed a lifetime ban from cycling after
being found guilty of taking performance-enhancing drugs, something
he finally admitted in 2013. The documentary includes interviews
with Armstrong, who offers his side of the story, as well as
contributions from cycling contemporaries and those who follow the
sport.
