Across our nation, many within our educational system complain that America’s children cannot write well. Hatfield and Young assert that the problem lies at the foundation of our pedagogy for writing, that most elementary writing curricula lack rudimentary instruction at the sentence level. The authors introduce a sentence-level writing intervention that explicitly defines the elements found in great sentences. This intervention forms the foundational framework for writing skills acquisition, helping teachers, students, and writers of all ages to understand how to craft well-written sentences and paragraphs. Research supports that the most effective instruction is skills-based and multisensory; therefore, Hatfield and Young also introduce a cognitively differentiated writing model, which uses arts-integrated instruction to enhance learning and memory for other content areas. This writing model is based on best practice and this sentence-level intervention serves as a precursor for mastering the new writing standards for CCSS. It offers novice writers a precise blueprint for what successful writing looks like and clearly defines the elusive sentence.
This Bible study of Ruwach, the Holy Spirit, through the original languages, reveals irrefutable evidence that Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Godhead, and She is a beautiful glorious She. Why does this matter, especially to women? It matters because the annihilation and denigration of the feminine in the Godhead meant the annihilation and denigration of the feminine on earth. These deceptions, this lie, originated in the Garden of Eden at the Fall, and it is time to mend and correct the record. WomenaEUR(tm)s entire identity, meaning, purpose, significance, security, worth, creativity, love, relationship, and destiny are wrapped up in our connection and kinship to the Holy Spirit. Like Her, we are put on this planet to nurture, comfort, succor, help, counsel, and heal. We are an especial creation. Romans 1:20 declares, aEURoeFor since the creation of the world, His [GodaEUR(tm)s] invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so they are without excuse.aEUR Nowhere in the natural world can you find a father and a son without a mother. Matter of fact, in every living created organism, you must have a father and a mother before you can have a son. In all of creation, there exists a beautiful balance of masculine and feminine that mirrors the power and glory of the Godhead. How completely sensible, rational, and logical to clearly see and understand that the three Persons in the Godhead are God the Father, God the Mother, personalities, and purposes! How refreshing and natural to see the Trinity as it really is! To learn more about the deep things of the Holy Spirit, to discover the many ways that you are a reflection of Her, and to understand how to glory in your identity as a beautiful glorious She, we invite you to journey with us through this Ruwach refreshing.
The first full-length biography of the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the Grawemeyer Award, Aaron Jay Kernis achieved recognition as one of the leading composers of his generation while still in his thirties. Since then his eloquent yet accessible style, emphasis on melody, and willingness to engage popular as well as classical forms has brought him widespread acclaim and admiring audiences. Leta Miller's biography offers the first survey of the composer's life and work. Immersed in music by middle school, and later training under Theodore Antoniou, John Adams, Jacob Druckman, and others, Kernis rejected the idea of distancing his work from worldly concerns and composed on political themes. His Second Symphony, from 1991, engaged with the first Gulf War; 1993's Still Moment with Hymn was a reaction to the Bosnian Genocide; and the next year's Colored Field and 1995's Lament and Prayer dealt with the Holocaust. Yet Kernis also used sources as disparate as futurist agitprop and children's games to display humor in his work. Miller's analysis addresses not only Kernis's wide range of subjects but also the eclecticism that has baffled critics, analyzing his dedication to synthesis and the themes consistent in his work. Informed and engaging, Aaron Jay Kernis gives a rare mid-career portrait of a major American cultural figure.
