You've Got to Be Carefully Taught: Learning and Relearning Literature - PDF
نویسندگان: Jerome Klinkowitz خلاصه: Drawing on his own experience in the profession, veteran English professor and internationally renowned scholar Jerome Klinkowitz sorts out the wrong ways of teaching literature before devising a new, successful method. Specifically, he concludes that a historically based “story of English” is precisely the wrong narrative approach to making sense of what literature does. Instead, Klinkowitz proposes a new method focused not on the product of literary writing but on the process of writing. Long involved with the making of contemporary literature, Klinkowitz shows how his classroom approach draws on the same strengths and inspirations writers use in the creation of literature. He involves students in the literary work as production. Despite almost universal agreement that literary studies fail both writers and students, solutions have been limited to suggestions by superstar theorists teaching cream-of-the-crop students at elite universities. Klinkowitz aims not at the elite but at the ordinary student in an introduction to literature class. His goal is to introduce teachers to a new philosophy of teaching literature and to further deepen students’ natural love for the subject. He also seeks to revive the love of fine writing in those whose joy in the subject fell victim to obtuse teaching methods. Uniquely, his is not an esoteric theory developed by the best academics for elite students but a commonsense approach that works well in the kind of schools most students attend.

See You Next Summer: Postcard Memories of Sparrow Lake Resorts - PDF
نویسندگان: Bruce M. McCraw خلاصه: Bustling station platforms, with quaint steamers nearby, often appear on early Sparrow Lake postcards. It was at the station that rail passengers were met and taken by boat to one of the over 20 hotels that once flourished in this holiday area. Such a trip could take about three hours on this roughly three-mile lake, bordering the southern Muskoka arm of the Canadian Shield. Upon arrival, the outdoors beckoned to one and all. Vintage postcards illustrate the stories of an earlier time in "cottage country." Bruce McCraw's lifetime familiarity with the lake has been augmented by contributions from local residents and guests of Sparrow Lake resorts.

A Career in Modeling: You Don't Have to Be a Glamorous Supermodel - Opportunities Today for People of All Types and Looks - PDF
نویسندگان: Institute For Career Research خلاصه: have portrayed women in a more human, more realistic light, though littleof this artwork survives.)Modeling in former times was not considered a respectable career.Traditionally, the artist’s model was a nobody. She may have come from alower-class background with little education and nothing to offer but heryouth and beauty. She was often the lover of the artist, who discarded herwhen she ceased to inspire him. Her career was short-lived, and she hadno champion to make sure she was paid well while she worked and hadplans for her post-modeling future.What a difference a few centuries make!Today, as anyone with access to television or magazines knows,supermodels are among the ultimate celebrities and role models. Thedesire to become one of these objects of desire is at a fever pitch, andcompetition to sustain success, once achieved, is intense.To be sure, the rewards are many and do include fame, fortune andfun. But modeling is an exceedingly risky business, and a great manycareers fizzle after just a few years.This report will help you determine if you have what it takes tobecome a model – and it’s not necessarily the physical perfection you mayhave imagined. Rebecca Gayheart and Kate Moss were both told that theywere too short to be models, but they prevailed by emphasizing theirunique assets and exhibiting enthusiasm and professionalism at all times.Furthermore, not all models slink down runways wearing jadedexpressions and outrageous costumes. As a recent advertising campaignfor The Body Shop put it, “There are 3 billion women who don’t look likesupermodels, and only eight who do.” This suggests there is opportunityfor a variety of people and types. Today, there’s room for plus-size, petites,men of all ages, people of color and various ethnic appearances, and“real” looking people in the business. If you’re 5’4" there’s no way you’regoing to be an haute couture runway model, but you could have a futurein other types of modeling.

Transactional Analysis Approaches to Brief Therapy: What do you say between saying hello and goodbye? (Brief Therapies series) - PDF
نویسندگان: Mr Keith Tudor خلاصه: Of all the approaches to therapy, Transactional Analysis (or TA) is arguably one of those most suited to time-limited work. At a time when short-term therapy is increasingly dominant as a form of practice, Transactional Analysis Approaches to Brief Therapy provides an insightful guide which both informs and challenges. Rather than a single theory, TA has developed as a group of four schools which share a common philosophy, but place different emphasis on what occurs during the therapeutic process. Written by therapists at the leading edge of developments in TA, the book presents and differentiates each of these four approaches. Through transcripts and commentaries, it shows how theory applies to practice, for exampl

Living Well with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You...That You Need to Know - PDF
نویسندگان: Mary J. Shomon خلاصه: From the author of Living Well With Hypothyroidism, a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia--vital help for the millions of people suffering from pain, fatigue, and sleep problems. Recent studies indicate that 3 to 6 million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia--a chronic disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points. This terrible condition is often accompanied by chronic fatigue syndrome, a persistent and debilitating sense of exhaustion that is estimated to affect 800,000 Americans--twice the number of people with multiple sclerosis. Yet there are no official blood tests of diagnostic procedures that can confirm that yes, you definitely have these conditions, and in fact, a whole segment of the medical world doesn't even believe these two diseases actually exist. In addition, the few books that are on the market tend to focus on single solutions or eschew conventional and pharmaceutical approaches, which could alienate readers who use conventional medicine in whole or part. In her trademark accessible, easy-to-follow style, patient advocate Mary J. Shomon integrates the latest findings regarding these misunderstood conditions. Highlighting the pros and cons of the antibiotic, metabolic/endocrine, hormonal, musculoskeletal, and many other approaches to treatment, Shomon explores the fads and viable alternatives--both conventional and alternative--and provides helpful, clear solutions to help sufferers of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. At various points since 1995, Mary J. Shomon has been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Since then, she has transformed her health challenges into a mission as a nationally-known patient advocate. She has worked for more than 20 years in writing, advertising, public relations, and communications and is the founder and editor-in-chief of several thyroid, autoimmune, and nutrition newsletters, as well as the internet's most popular thyroid disease website, www.thyroid-info.com.
