Action Research for Kids provides teachers with comprehensive,
creative, and hands-on units to engage students in action research.
Students will benefit from learning about quantitative and
qualitative research practices that can make a real difference in
their lives and those within their communities. Within this text,
teachers can select a lesson or use whole units as students explore
research methods such as survey research, experimental research,
life history, and photovoice in fun lessons that ask them to create
a library wish list, interview people in their communities, lobby
for cookies in the cafeteria, and experiment with preservatives.
Each lesson comes with detailed instructions and ideas for
differentiation. Grades 5-8
As a young unmarried mother in the 1960s, Maureen faces stifling
disapproval and condemnation from mainstream society. Desperate to
create a new life for herself and her baby, she rekindles an old
romance and moves to South Africa under Apartheid. But her
precarious journey to Africa's Eden is not the paradise she
anticipated. Cultures smash against each other, family
relationships are strained, there is death and despair, violence
and injustice. But there is also humour, fun, family and
friendship, as Maureen has to decide where her future lies. Is it
in Africa or back home in distant Eden, in her Australian homeland?
In Lillians Eden, debut novelist Cheryl Adam takes the reader to
Australian rural post-war life in the 1950s through the life of a
family struggling to survive. With their farm destroyed by fire,
Lillian agrees to the demands of her philandering, violent husband
to move to the coastal town of Eden to help look after his Aunt
Maggie. Juggling the demands of caring for her children and two
households, and stoically enduring her husbands continued
indiscretions, Lillian finds an unlikely ally and friend in the
feisty, eccentric Aunt Maggie who lives next door. With wonderfully
drawn characters reminiscent of Ruth Park and Kylie Tennant, Cheryl
Adam shows us the stark realities of rural life behind the closed
front doors and scented rose-filled gardens. She highlights the
endless physical and mental demands on women like Lillian who have
to grapple with the challenges of a newhomeland as well as never
ending family responsibilities. This rich, raw novel pays homage to
friendship and to the rural women whose remarkable resilience
enabled them to find happiness in sometimes the most unlikely of
places.
Thank God for families. In this book, it will be a guide to help
family members build each other for success. The world we live in
displays many different foundations for families - foster parents,
grandmothers, one parent households, and more. How did God create
families to be? Did you know that "family" was established in
heaven? God saw that it was good and wanted to share this gift with
mankind. This book is a tool to teach the reader, children, and
other family members how to help one another be unified and how to
keep oneself from hurting others and oneself. The illustrations
give diversity of families and visibly helps the reader to remember
how to promote and instill family unity. Open up your heart, mind,
and spirit to receive how God wants families to operate.
