Incorporating leveled reading within each script, readers theatre
plays offer teachers the flexibility to include readers of every
ability in the same read-aloud play. Hello Hi-Lo: Readers Theatre
Math offers a proven way for teachers to build reading fluency in
their classrooms, even if students do not all read at the same
level. The book offers 15 readers theatre plays, each of which
includes various levels of readability within one script. The plays
thus provide lower-level readers the opportunity to follow along
with accelerated reading parts, building confidence by reading
aloud at their own levels. Each play includes speakers for three
different grade levels of readability: 4th grade and lower, 5th-6th
grade, and 7th-8th grade. Concepts are presented so that they are
fluid among these grade levels. Taking a cross-curricular approach,
the scripts reinforce key math concepts and standards-based math
skills taught in the middle grades, such as order of operations,
fractions, inequalities, positive and negative numbers, and
graphing on a coordinate plane. Each play includes extended
activities that will help the teacher incorporate the math concept
into the classroom.
"Readers Theatre for African American History" features a
collection of twenty scripts covering a comprehensive span of
history from Africa before the transatlantic slave trade through
current events in our nation. In participating in these scripts,
students will listen to storytellers from Africa and share the rich
oral tradition about wealthy explorers who came to the Americas
from Africa before Columbus. They'll experience such events as
Emancipation Day on the South Carolina Sea Islands, the founding of
the "North Star" by Frederick Douglass, and the extraordinary 1939
Lincoln Memorial concert by Marian Anderson. They'll attend an
imaginary political convention where they'll meet our nation's
first five African American U.S. Senators, including Senator Barack
Obama. African American history is rich with opportunities for
creative learning. This book brings them alive. Grades 4-8
'Ritual Failure' is a new concept in archaeology adopted from the
discipline of anthropology. Resilient religious systems
disappearing, strict believers and faithful practitioners not
performing their rites, entire societies changing their customs:
how does a religious ritual system transform, change or disappear,
leaving only traces of its past glory? Do societies change and then
their ritual? Or do customs change first, in turn provoking wider
cultural shifts in society? Archaeology possesses the tools and
methodologies to explore these questions over the long term; from
the emergence of a system, to its peak, and then its decay and
disappearance, and in relation to wider social and chronological
developments. The collected papers in this book introduce the
concept of 'ritual failure' to archaeology. The analysis explores
ways in which ritual may have been instrumental in sustaining
cultural continuity during demanding social conditions, or how its
functionality might have failed - resulting in discontinuity,
change or collapse. The collected papers draw attention to those
turbulent social times of change for which ritual practices are a
sensitive indicator within the archaeological record. The book
reviews archaeological evidence and theoretical approaches, and
suggests models which could explain socio-cultural change through
ritual failure. The concept of 'ritual failure' is also often used
to better understand other themes, such as identity and wider
social, economic and political transformations, shedding light on
the social conditions that forced or introduced change. This book
will engage those interested in ritual theory and practices, but
will also appeal to those interested in exploring new avenues to
understanding cultural change. From transformations in the use of
ritual objects to the risks inherent in practicing ritual, from
ritual continuity in customs to sudden and profound change, from
the Neolithic Near East to Roman Europe and Iron Age Africa, this
book explores what happens when ritual fails. With a foreword by
Timothy Insoll and a discussion by Richard Bradley.
Dr Robert Munro (1835-1920) was a distinguished medical
practitioner who, in his later life, became a keen archaeologist.
His particular interests lay in the lake-dwelling settlements of
his native Scotland, known as crannogs, as well as those then being
discovered across Europe. In 1885 Robert Munro undertook a review
of all lacustrian research in Europe, travelling widely to study
collections and visit sites. The results of this work formed the
basis for the prestigious Rhind Lectures at the Society of
Antiquaries of Scotland in 1888. These were then published as The
Lake-Dwellings of Europe, a landmark publication for archaeology
and one that cemented Munro s archaeological reputation. In 1910
Robert Munro offered the University of Edinburgh a financial gift
with which to fund lectures in Anthropology and Prehistoric
Archaeology. Over the past century this has been done through the
Munro Trust. In 2010, the year of the centenary of the Munro Trust,
the University of Edinburgh and the Society of Antiquaries of
Scotland jointly celebrated the occasion with a gathering of
Continental and British scholars. The papers presented in this
publication are the results of that international seminar. This
book will engage all those interested in European lake dwellings,
wetland archaeology and the history of archaeology in the 19th
century. The collected papers explore the historical context of
Munro s work, as well as introducing current research from across
Europe. The book will appeal to both the professional and the
interested amateur, of which Munro himself represented such an
exciting synthesis."
