If You Teach It, They Will Read: Literature's Life Lessons for Today's Students - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: What does it mean to 'teach' a poem, novel or play? Surely it is about lessons in comprehension and improvements in language facility, but what does literature teach us beyond literacy? Students can read substantive literature for what its authors intended: an insight into the human condition. Students, even those who appear indifferent, struggle with questions of right and wrong, good and evil, love and loss, self-interest and self-sacrifice. Using literature he has used with his students, MacLean insists that asking the right questions, discussing ideas that still matter, will show students that others have wrestled with the same issues, expressing that struggle in timeless stories. For the teacher of literature, the student of literature, the lover of literature, this book is a reminder of why, in the words of Maya Angelou, 'we stumble and fall, and how, miraculously, we can stand up.' What more important lesson is there?
Wed Him Before You Bed Him (School for Heiresses) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: So what on earth had brought him here? She could not imagine a more awkward situation. Inall these years, she and David had never been alone together, never spoken of what she haddone to him.“Should I send him packing?” Terence asked.For a second, she was tempted. But something important indeed must have brought him tovisit the woman who had once wronged him so horribly. “No. Just show him in.”After Terence left, she checked her appearance in the mirror to make sure her auburn curlswere not too badly askew and her face not too pale. Perhaps it was foolish, but she wantedto look her best before him, of all people. She scarcely had time to smooth her skirts andpinch her cheeks before he was ushered into her office, bringing her face-to-face with theman she had nearly married so long ago.Pasting a smile on her lips, she walked forward with her hand extended. “Lord Kirkwood.How nice to see you again.”His eyes flashed with some hidden emotion. “Charlotte.” He took her hand and pressed itbriefly before releasing it.Charlotte. Not Mrs. Harris, but Charlotte, spoken in the husky tone that had made her heartflip over when she was eighteen and he nearly twenty.No, she must not think of that. Those days were gone forever, lost in the pages of theirpasts. Time and her own mistakes, as well as his, had changed them both irrevocably
The Essential Financial Toolkit: Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Finance But Were Afraid To Ask - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: viPrefaceI have been lecturing executives in executive-educationprograms for many years now. The audiences are almostalways heterogeneous both in terms of age and nation-ality, and, more importantly, in terms of backgroundand training. Over time, I think I have learned to talk tothe “average” participant in a program, without boringthose that know some finance and without leaving farbehind those that have little or no idea about it.Part of the reason I have achieved this has to do withhaving provided participants with some backgroundreadings before the beginning of a program. The goalof the readings is to bring those without trainingin finance up to speed, which is valuable on at leasttwo counts. First, those that do have some training infinance do not get bored with discussions of basic tools;and, second, it liberates precious time to focus on issuesmore central to the program. The ten chapters of thisbook were born as independent notes written for thesevery reasons.As happens to many authors, after failing to find some-thing that would fit what I needed, I decided to writeit myself. And the characteristics I had in mind for thenotes I was about to write were the following
