Each Glencoe Reader encourages students to read interactively by marking up selections and creating a personal dialogue with a variety of American-English texts: Part I: Fiction, Poetry, and Drama Part II: Non-fiction and Informational Text: Literary non-fiction, mass media, functional documents, maps, and more! Part III: Reading and Succeeding on Standardized Tests: Reading and writing test lessons In each selection of The Glencoe Reader, there is a variety of engaging activities the students can complete on their own or with a partner, a small group, or the entire class. This reader-cum-workbook has been put together for US high school students, but should also prove useful in an ESL/EFL environment, where the focus is on reading, understanding, and working with different types of American-English texts.
One definition of “intelligence” is the capacity to cope: to function effectively in an environment of some kind—to meet its challenges and capitalize on its possibilities in order to get what we want, need, and deserve. By that definition, we Homo sapiens -“thinking humans” - may need to get a lot smarter as a species, and soon.For the first time in the history of our species, our environment is evolving faster than our brains.We might have fewer than fifty years left to get our act together, individually and collectively, to cope with the chaotic new environment we’ve created around ourselves.
This scrupulously researched compendium provides a remarkable history of the period 1800 to 1914. But what makes the period, and therefore this book, especially vital is that the period of European imperialism 1800-1914 was so significant in shaping global politics in the twentieth century and even up to today.
Unlike most encyclopedias this volume has a brilliantly conceived unifying theme about the struggle for territory in Europe and beyond for over a hundred years. Carl Cavanagh Hodge is an excellent editor. He has brought together sixty scholars to define, describe and explain over 800 topics of imperialism. Hodge's excellent introductory synthesis of the period from 1800 to 1914 binds together the disparate subjects. He then indexes the book in such as way as to allow the reader to examine the historical entries from the point of view of concepts, treaties, alliances, geographical regions and countries, battles, institutions, leaders, statesmen, conflicts and wars.
Ideas and Activities for Every Classroom This book has been compiled by VSO to bring together successful practical ideas used by teachers all over the world. These ideas have been developed and adapted over many years by VSO teachers and their national colleagues working together in schools throughoutAfrica, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific. Based on this depth and breadth of experience, this text shows how to demonstrate science in action in clear and exciting ways, even when time and resources are limited.
