Stimulating Non-Fiction Writing! Inspiring Children Aged 7-11
offers innovative and exciting ways to engage children in
non-fiction writing, giving professionals the confidence and
practical advice that they need to support children in producing
quality non-fiction texts in the classroom. Packed full of
interesting ideas, resource suggestions and practical activities,
the book explores the various ways professionals can purposefully
encourage 'child authors' to develop their non-fiction writing
skills. Tried-and-tested resources, 'Gold star!' tips and practical
suggestions are underpinned by research-informed teaching
strategies and academic information to strengthen professional
practice associated with the teaching of non-fiction writing. By
taking a stimulating approach to each text type and linking
activities to known texts and stimuli, the book offers
differentiated advice for working with children in Lower and Upper
Key stage 2. Chapters consider text types that include:
Instructions Persuasive texts Non-chronological reports
Correspondence texts Discussion texts This new text is the perfect
guide for inspiring children aged 7-11 in the classroom and will
energise and enrich classroom provision and practice by being an
essential resource for teachers and students on teacher training
courses.
"People who run cities like to play Simcity to find out how
impossible their jobs are. Hughes gives everyone a chance to play a
kind of Simplanet, with outcomes far more complex and uncertain. In
the process, the book and the computer program provide a coherent
path to understanding an anarchic world." --Ronald A. Francisco,
University of Kansas "What will be the future of human demographic,
economic, environmental, and political-social systems throughout
the 21st century? Where do current changes appear to be taking us?
What kind of future would we prefer? How much leverage do we have
to bring about the future we prefer? Do YOU share these interests
of the book? If yes, you should study the book and learn how to
cope with the future with the International Futures approach (IFs)
developed by the authors. This large-scale integrated global
simulation modeling system is a user-friendly, professional tool
for long-term policy analysis and an educational tool in
universities. I had a pleasure to learn it personally by
cooperating with Barry Hughes." --Pentti Malaska, Professor of MS,
DrTech, futurist Honorary member of the Club of Rome What will be
the long-term impact of AIDS in Africa or concentration of global
oil production in the Middle East? Exploring and Shaping
International Futures helps readers understand such global trends
in demographic, economic, energy, food, environmental, and
socio-political systems. It allows businesspeople, government
officials, and others to think concretely about global futures in
each of these areas. It is the only book on the market that allows
readers to use a computer simulation to track global trends and to
develop alternative scenarios around those trends. It is one of
relatively few books that really brings computer technology into
the classroom, boardroom, or policy planning commission. The
International Futures (IFs) computer simulation, around which the
book is built, is now widely used in policy analysis as well as
education. It has been instrumental in projects undertaken by such
groups as the European Commission, the U.S. National Intelligence
Council, and the United Nations. After three decades of development
and refinement, the computer model is now easy to access and use.

Synopsis: Charles Simeon ministered for over fifty years in one
parish at the heart of Cambridge during the bleak period of English
national life between the French Wars and the passing of the Reform
Bill. He was considered by Lord Macaulay to have had greater
influence on the life of the church than any primate. Soundly
converted in his first term at King's College, he was appointed
Vicar of Holy Trinity in 1782, combining the incumbency with a
Fellowship and various academic posts. Highly unpopular at first on
account of both his message and his manner, scorned and abused for
many years, he carried on regardless of other's opinions until in
the end he became perhaps the best known and best respected name in
Cambridge. Hot-tempered but warm-hearted, impetuous but infinitely
patient, a man of imposing, even remarkable appearance, he was a
"character," about whom the most entertaining stories are eagerly
recounted. As a Christian of independent mind and strong
convictions, he found his spiritual strength in a lifetime of deep
devotion and strict personal discipline; as a biblical preacher he
was the first for many generations to see the possibility and
importance of teaching men how to expound the Scriptures; as a
pastor and evangelist his work with both town and gown was marked
by a rare faithfulness and zeal. Limited all his life to the one
center of spiritual activity, he yet was the moving spirit in the
formation of the Church Missionary Society, and an enthusiastic
supporter of the Bible Society and of work among the Jews.
Endorsements: "A brilliant biography. I can only think in
superlatives . . . this book will be the definitive biography in
any conceivable future." -Max Warren Author Biography: Hugh Evan
Hopkins was educated at Haileybury and Emmanuel College, Cambridge.
Converted during his first year, he became President of the
University Christian Union in 1930. After ordination he served as a
missionary in South India and later spent three years in
evangelistic work in the British universities. During World War II,
he was Vicar of churches in Redhill and Durham before being
appointed in 1947 Provost of Nairobi Cathedral, Kenya. On returning
to England, he was successively Rector of St. Mary-le-Bow,
Cheapside and Rector of the Parish Church of Cheltenham. He was
made Honorary Canon of Gloucester Cathedral in 1960. In Cheltenham
his interests included the work of the Samaritans, of which he was
Director, and the Colleges of Education, of which he was Chairman
of the Governors. His other books include Henceforth, The Mystery
of Suffering, and Morning and Evening Prayer.
