All four films in the American teen dance franchise. Channing Tatum stars in 'Step Up' (1995) as Tyler Gage, a rough street kid with raw talent. When Tyler finds himself doing community service at a school for the performing arts, he meets Nora (Jenna Dewan), a beautiful and privileged classically-trained dancer who's searching for a temporary replacement for her injured dance partner. Spying Tyler's smooth moves, Nora decides to take a chance on him... In 'Step Up 2 - The Streets' (2008) Andie (Briana Evigan) is a member of an elite inner-city dance crew called the 410. When the 410 pretend to be muggers on a subway car and then stage an impromptu dance show for the somewhat bewildered passengers, Andie's guardian (Sonja Sohn) ships her off to the Maryland School of the Arts. Andie's urban street style, of course, goes against the grain of the strait-laced school... In 'Step Up 3' (2010), a group of young underground street dancers in New York - including Luke (Rick Malambri) and Natalie (Sharni Vinson) - team up with NYU students Moose (Adam G. Sevani) and Camille (Alyson Stoner) to take on the world's best hip hop dancers in the ultimate street dancing contest, an experience that will alter the course of all their lives. Finally, in 'Step Up 4 - Miami Heat' (2012), Kathryn McCormick stars as Emily, a girl from a wealthy family who arrives in Miami hoping to become a professional dancer, and soon falls for poor boy Sean (Ryan Guzman), leader of flash mob street dance crew MOB. When Emily's father, a major property developer, threatens to build on the historic neighbourhood that is the MOB's home, Emily asks Sean and his crew to use their performance mobs to protest against the planned development...

In the classroom, the workplace, and the home, more and more teachers, professionals, teaching assistants, peer tutors and parents have need of a practical, hands-on guide to helping their students, associates and teen-agers improve their composition skills. Designed to meet the needs of those who lack formal pedagogical training in composition, The Practical Tutor is an invaluable tool for writers at various levels in both formal and informal educational settings. The book alerts its readers to issues that frequently arise in the writing process, explores typical writing problems and their causes, summarizes recent research and thinking in the field of composition, and suggests strategies for helping writers overcome their difficulties. By analyzing samples of writers' compositions, and by including sample dialogues between tutors and writers, the book suggests, in the most practical terms, how to formulate questions that will spur writers to make their own corrections, and how to help them write critically and independently. Appropriate as a course text in the training of peer tutors or as a reference book for home or office, The Practical Tutor includes exercises and bibliographies for getting acquainted with writers, helping them generate ideas, shape essays, master basic writing mechanics, and even use computers to improve their work.
