This is a must-have book to study, learn and revise using various
innovative techniques, including mind mapping. Teaching is often
delivered in a way that best suits the learning style of those
teaching rather than the recipient. This book provides a first step
to understanding your own unique and most effective learning
strategies. It includes illustrations on how to use and PowerPoint
training tools. Easy to understand, comprehensive and rigorously
tested. Includes: how to discover how you learn best; the
importance of mind mapping - a powerful learning tool; and How to
boost memory. The author introduces a range of strategies to
achieve the goal of becoming a more effective learner, for example
steps: select strategies and tips that appeal to you; try out each
one, ideally a few times; evaluate their effectiveness (see whether
they work); practise the ones that work; and savour your success!
Part one of the book deals with understanding that each person is
unique and it is important therefore to understand that learner
styles will differ, but all are valid. It provides methods to
examine and understand personal and emotional strengths and then
apply that to identifying study skill strengths. There are
activities that identify learning preferences and how to maximise
on this discovery. Clearly understanding yourself is the first step
to working out the very best way to work. How to use the
mind-mapping tool to good effect is explored in detail with many
examples and clear illustrations. The second part of the book
explores how to apply this new found knowledge and challenges the
reader to really examine their attitude to themselves and to
learning; how to use this knowledge in a positive way to improve
and really enjoy the learning experience. Activities for
motivation, attention, creating a suitable learning environment,
avoiding distraction and removing stress. This unique book focuses
exclusively on learners and their learning. It includes a range of
activities especially designed to empower the learner with
knowledge about the variety of ways in which people learn, taking
the reader on a positive and rewarding journey of self-discovery.
Awakening intrinsic motivation in young people is the most
important key to securing them a meaningful and successful life. No
matter how much we know about how to learn, no lasting learning is
likely to take place unless we want to learn; unless we are
convinced of the reasons and have the confidence and resilience to
achieve our goals. Motivating the Teenage Mind is a unique,
comprehensive, practical, activity-based motivational programme for
secondary students. It will give every student an opportunity to
recognise their strengths, awaken their aspirations and become
aware of the reasons for learning, and show them how to confidently
create a vision for their future lives. The programme provides
educators with seven key aspects of motivation: making and giving
choices; awakening curiosity and interest; nurturing dreams and
setting goals; making learning relevant; raising confidence;
strengthening resilience; and rewarding achievement. Aimed
primarily at 11-16 year old secondary pupils, this resource is also
suitable for 16-18 year old college students.
This is a rare account of the horrors of the WWII death camps from
someone who experienced them. Born into an Orthodox Jewish family
in Prague, Hoffman lost his entire family in the Holocaust. The
story of his own ordeals, and how he managed to survive Auschwitz,
makes for chilling reading. No one could experience what Hoffman
did and be unaffected, and a good part of the book recounts his
struggles to establish a normal life after being relocated to
post-war England. An important part of his recovery was discovering
his talent for the game of bridge, and becoming a professional
player.
If you ever sit by the elbow of a famous player, you will be
surprised by many of the plays. What is going on in the great
player's mind? In this exciting new book by Britain's top bridge
writer, David Bird, and the world-renowned professional player,
Martin Hoffman, you will find out! Twelve important areas of
cardplay have been chosen, involving both declarer play and
defence. For those not in the know, the various plays appear to be
inspired. They are in fact the result of cold hard logic. Learn the
correct thought processes yourself and - whatever you aspirations
may be - your cardplay will improve significantly.
