Superhero Romance and Adventure Like You've Never Seen Before! Can love blossom when a touch is deadly? Sometimes a superhero is just too powerful to enjoy life. But Londo (Valiant) Rand's foes have temporarily blasted away his powers, leaving him to outrun a mercenary army across an otherwise deserted South Pacific island— accompanied by a beautiful woman, Lina O'Kelly. If they're lucky they can reach safety until Londo's powers return. But Londo doesn't want those powers back, not yet. This is the one day in his life he'll be able to touch someone without the potential of accidentally tearing them to shreds. Too bad that psychic Lina is acutely phobic to touch. What the world's greatest superhero asks for is what she's unable to give. Can they escape terrorists, gales and ghosts to find haven? If they should fall deeply in love, how will they cope when Londo's powers return and he's too strong to hold Lina in his arms? Two books in one! The original Touch of Danger has been combined with Star-Crossedto bring you a larger adventure in one volume. Now the story reaches out to the stars and other worlds. Londo's life hangs by a thread. Are Lina's psychic healing techniques enough to save him, or will she need the help of unearthly science—and a beautiful alien man's powers? Lina begins to understand just how dangerous it is to get close to the galaxy's most famous hero. Even his friends are plotting against her. Can she make Londo realize that all this can't possibly work? Even above her own heart, she must protect his.
Join Carol Ann Tomlinson and Cindy A. Strickland in the continuing exploration of how real teachers incorporate differentiation principles and strategies throughout an entire instructional unit. Focusing on the high school grades, but applicable at all levels, Differentiation in Practice, Grades 9-12 will teach anyone interested in designing and implementing differentiated curriculum how to do so or how to do so more effectively. Inside, you'll find * Annotated lesson plans for differentiated units in English, mathematics, history, science, art, and world languages. * Samples of differentiated product assignments, learning contracts, rubrics, and homework handouts. * An overview of the non-negotiables in differentiated classrooms and guidelines for using the book as a learning tool. * An extended glossary and recommended readings for further exploration of key ideas and strategies. Each unit highlights underlying standards, delineates learning goals, and takes you step by step through the instructional process. Unit developers provide running commentary on their use of flexible grouping and pacing, tiered assignments and assessments, and numerous other strategies. The models and insight presented will inform your own differentiation efforts and help you meet the challenge of mixed-ability classrooms with academically responsive curriculum appropriate for all learners.
