Thinking Historically - Educating Students for the Twenty-First Century
Two simple but profound questions have preoccupied scholars since the establishment of history education over a century ago: what is historical thinking, and how do educators go about teaching it? In Thinking Historically, Stéphane Lévesque examines these questions, focusing on what it means to think critically about the past. As students engage in a new century already characterized by global instability, uncertainty, and rivalry over claims about the past, present, and future, this study revisits enduring questions and aims to offer new and relevant answers.
A New Literacies Dictionary: Primer for the Twenty-first Century Learner
The book is addressed to twenty-first century teachers and twenty-first century learners. The hyperlinked entries are a resource, a reference, and a tool for those interested in teaching lessons in new literacies or for those seeking ideas, samples, discussions, and reflections on digital and multimodal texts. An underlying goal of the dictionary is to connect teachers and students in the twenty-first century with a resource that offers multi-literate inspiration in an age of ever-changing literacy.
Do you believe in ghosts? Jerry doesn't. He's a 19-year-old American, who just wants a good holiday with his friend, Brad. They are travelling around the north of England by bicycle. But strange things begin to happen in a small hotel where they are staying. First, Brad seems to think that he has been there before. And then a girl called Ellen appears. The first of these three orginal plays is set in the seventeenth century, and the other two take place in modern times. In each play a ghost comes back from the dead to change the lives of living people.
I Was Vermeer - The Rise and Fall of the Twentieth Century Greatest Forger
The police tracked down Han van Meegeren in 1945 after learning of his connection to a "Vermeer" stashed in the loot of Hermann Goring. Bursting with malevolent pride, van Meegeren made the astonishing admission that he, not Johannes Vermeer van Delft, was the painter--and one of the great art-world scandals was off and running. Wynne's account of van Meegeren's fraud, the first book-length account in English in four decades, contains insights into the mind of a forger as well as narrative verve about van Meegeren's methods of foisting his deceptions upon the Dutch art-history elite.
