Poetry from Chicago

With Practical Resources!

By: Christine M. Nava

What a wonderful anthology of factual and fi ctional poetry for all ages, from pre-school through adulthood. Included are hundreds of poems, simple ones for the beginning reader, limericks, riddles, Haiku about names, personal, and, even, historical poems. Also, included are two lists of words: the fi rst, of over 1200 basic primary words which were, cleverly, used in The First Poems Chapter for the purpose of making easy, enjoyable, daily reading and writing activities, and, the second, a list of over 300 basic, chunked, generated rhyming words that can be used as references and study sheets, or, simply, as 5 minute, daily reading lessons! This anthology is fun, interesting, practical, and relevant, and is a must for every classroom and for every library, personal and public!

Teaching Children's Literature

It's Critical!

By: Christine H. Leland,Mitzi Lewison,Jerome C. Harste

Inviting multiple ways of critically engaging with literature, this text offers a fresh perspective on how to integrate children’s literature into and across the curriculum in effective, purposeful ways. Structured around three "mantras" that build on each other—Enjoy; Dig deeply; Take action—the book is rich with real examples of teachers implementing critical pedagogy. The materials and practical strategies focus on issues that impact children’s lives, building from students’ personal experiences and cultural knowledge to using language to question the everyday world, analyze popular culture and media, understand how power relationships are socially constructed, and consider actions that can be taken to promote social justice. Written for teachers and teacher educators, each chapter opens with three elements that are closely linked: classroom vignettes showcasing the use of literature and inviting conversation; three key principles elaborating the main theme of the chapter and connecting theory with practice; and related research on the topics and their importance for curriculum. Other chapter features include key issues in implementation, suggestions for working with linguistically and culturally diverse students, alternative approaches to assessment, and suggestions for further reading. A companion website to enrich and extend the text includes an annotated bibliography of literature selections, suggested text sets, resources by chapter, and ideas for professional development. Changes in the Second Edition: Voices from the Field vignettes include examples from inspiring educators who use trade books to promote critical thinking and diversity Updated chapters include information on new technology and electronic resources New references in the principles sections and new resources for further study New children’s books added throughout the chapters as well as to the companion website

British Cinema in the Fifties

Gender, Genre and the 'New Look'

By: Christine Geraghty

In the fifties British cinema won large audiences with popular war films and comedies, creating stars such as Dirk Bogarde and Kay Kendall, and introducing the stereotypes of war hero, boffin and comic bureaucrat which still help to define images of British national identity. In British Cinema in the Fifties, Christine Geraghty examines some of the most popular films of this period, exploring the ways in which they approached contemporary social issues such as national identity, the end of empire, new gender roles and the care of children. Through a series of case studies on films as diverse as It Always Rains on Sunday and Genevieve, Simba and The Wrong Arm of the Law, Geraghty explores some of the key debates about British cinema and film theory, contesting current emphases on contradiction, subversion and excess and exploring the curious mix of rebellion and conformity which marked British cinema in the post-war era.

Representations of Youth

The Study of Youth and Adolescence in Britain and America

By: Christine Griffin

Representations of Youth examines the various constructions of 'youth' and 'adolescence' in recent British and North American research. Mainstream and radical approaches have presented a series of 'crises' about young people in relation to, among other things, unemployment, 'teenage pregnancy' and 'delinquency'. This book considers research in psychology, sociology, education, criminology and cultural studies in order to assess these accounts. The author offers a critical review of a wide range of findings about young people in areas as diverse as education and training, leisure, family life and sexuality. She shows that whilst youth research texts do not reflect young people's experiences in any straightforward manner, they do indicate the various complex and contradictory ways in which 'youth', 'adolescence' and specific groups of young people are represented in contemporary western societies. In so arguing, she presents new terms for thinking about the position of young people today. This is an important new text accessibly written for students of sociology, social psychology and contemporary culture in both Britain and the USA. It will also be of great interest to social science researchers in a range of other disciplines.

EBOOK: Boys and Girls in the Primary Classroom

By: Christine Skelton,Becky Francis

This book illustrates how gender equity (and inequality) occurs in primary classrooms. It uses the findings of current research to provide teachers with recommendations for promoting equity amongst boys and girls. Each contributor summarizes recent research in the area of specialization before looking specifically at issues relevant to primary teaching and learning. The areas of the primary school covered include the National Curriculum subjects of literacy, numeracy and science, and broader topics such as working with boys, children with special educational needs, primary/secondary transition, playground cultures and children's construction of gender identities. The book uses classroom-based research to provide accessible accounts of investigations into gender and primary schooling. At the same time, it offers a critique of the whole drive towards 'evidence based' research. Boys and Girls in the Primary Classroom is aimed particularly at primary teachers and student teachers although the research will be of interest to academics and undergraduate students.

When Life Unravels

By: Christine Christina

We all have an UN story to tell... UNLoved UNDeserving UNWorthy UNLikeable UNQualified UNAcceptable These are the words that described how Author Christine Cristina felt about herself for the majority of her life. Have you ever felt that way too? Do these words describe the lies you have accepted about yourself because of life experiences, or perhaps you have heard people say negative, hurtful things about you and it caused you to feel this way. Words are powerful. They can build you up or tear you down. It might be something someone has said about you or how you were treated, but oftentimes, we are too quick to accept the negative words spoken over us and we accept them as truth instead of dismissing them for the lies they really are. How can we put an end to it and see ourselves the way that God sees us? In this compelling new book, Author Christine Cristina shares her personal and sometimes painful journey of how her life UNRaveled in order for her to see herself the way God intended. As Christine turned to God and His Word, she began to get a glimpse of who she really is. UNStoppable UNSinkable UNLimited UNCommon UN Forgettable UN Shakable
