Teaching Through Texts: Promoting Literacy Through Popular and Literary Texts in the Primary Classroom
Review
'... the book recognises that at the heart
of the literacy hour is a wide range of texts, fiction and non-fiction.
It provides support, encouragement, inspiration and new ideas to
teachers to help them tackle these both in and out of the literacy
hour.' -

Surprising Lazio - Walking through Time
In order to meet the evident demand for authenticity, local character and substantiality of the present tourist demand, the guide offers particular cultural proposals in addition to the theme of environmental values thus enhancing the entire artistic, historical, and religious heritage of the five Lazio regions, also through charming popular traditions and legends.
In the spirit of an evocative discovery journey through the history of our civilization, let us explore parks and nature reserves along interesting and original itineraries, and meet splendid fortified structures among towns, castles and abbeys.
Their charm will guide us through art and history, faith and legends, nature and traditions, providing a new and unexpected rhythm to our walks through time.
24 lectures (30 minutes/lecture) Taught by: Dr. Jeremy Shearmur—
The aim of his course is not to take sides on any public issue, but rather to explain what is at stake, and to improve your own grasp of why those on all sides of many widely discussed public questions—be they liberals, socialists or libertarians, radical feminists or religious conservatives—think as they do. Dr. Shearmur’s work is thus not persuasion, but clarification. And he accomplishes it through an analysis that is more profound, cogent, philosophically informed, and comprehensive than anything you’re ever likely to glean from ordinary news coverage or day-to-day political commentary.

О маленьких девочках и вполне дружелюбных гигантах.
Evidently not even Roald Dahl could resist the acronym craze of the early eighties. BFG? Bellowing ferret-faced golfer? Backstabbing fairy godmother? Oh, oh ... Big Friendly Giant! This BFG doesn't seem all that F at first as he creeps down a London street, snatches little Sophie out of her bed, and bounds away with her to giant land. And he's not really all that B when compared with his evil, carnivorous brethren, who bully him for being such an oddball runt. After all, he eats only disgusting snozzcumbers, and while the other Gs are snacking on little boys and girls, he's blowing happy dreams in through their windows. (Ages 9 to 12)
