Book Synopsis Chasing the Albino Pygmy Giraffe by : Charles Haddad
Download or read book Chasing the Albino Pygmy Giraffe written by Charles Haddad and published by Barking Dogwood Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Chasing the Albino Pygmy Giraffe” is a laugh aloud yet insightful parody about how little Chinese and Americans understand one another. The story unfolds as a college professor leads a group of American and Chinese students 3,500 miles across the heart of Western China down the fabled Silk Road. Along the way, the travelers brave everything from squat toilets and donkey meat to insurrection and the Red Army. Author Charles Haddad is eminently qualified to spoof Chinese and Americans alike. Not only has he seen more of China than most Chinese themselves. Haddad speaks Chinese and is well versed in Chinese history and culture. While fiction, Haddad’s tale rings true. It offers great insight for those worrying about the future of Sino-American relations. And worry they should, suggests this humorous adventure story.
Book Synopsis Pity the Poor Reader by : Charles Haddad
Download or read book Pity the Poor Reader written by Charles Haddad and published by Barking Dogwood Press. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consider “Pity the Poor Reader” as an un-textbook, an irreverent “Elements of style.” Like Elements, it’s designed to compliment textbooks. Pity is concise, memorable and portable. Under 300 pages, Pity serves as an aspiring writer’s keepsake. Concision lies at the heart of Pity. The key concepts of writing well are distilled into irreverent, memorable lines and axioms. Many of them are organized as lists that are easily printed and taped to a wall or a computer. Indeed, in testing the book with my university students, I’ve found that many of them did print out its list of axioms to keep handy while writing. I’ve also overheard students quoting Pity’s axioms to their friends. While similar to “Elements” in spirit, Pity differs greatly in style, material and organization. My book draws on current events, history, student anecdotes and my own 30 years of experience as a writer - anything to make its lessons real and relevant. It’s written in a style that skewers all pretense and officiousness when it comes to the teaching of writing. The opening chapter about craft is titled “The Tao of Writing Poorly.” It parodies the poor way that writing is taught in many high schools and colleges. Pity tries to teach whenever possible through humor. It helps to make any lesson memorable.

Book excerpt: "This informal and inviting book offers a much-needed resource for the many K-12 teachers who wonder what to do about grammar - how to teach it, how to apply it, how to learn what they themselves were never taught. It provides teachers a way to negotiate the often conflicting goals of high-stakes testing, confident writing, the culturally inclusive classroom, and the teaching of standard English while also honoring other varieties of English. Novice and veteran teachers alike will appreciate the hands-on approach to grammar in the classroom that includes numerous examples and practical vignettes describing real teachers' real classroom experiences with specific grammar lessons - including ESL issues - as well as the chapters that review grammar basics. A grammar glossary and annotated list of sources are also included."

Book Synopsis Pity the Poor Reader by : Charles Haddad
Download or read book Pity the Poor Reader written by Charles Haddad and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alas, the poor reader. Ever pelted with a heavy rain of words. Junk mail and Spam, E-mail and blogs; E-zines and streaming news. Preached at and scolded, befuddled and misled. Tortured with unpronounceable words and bored with cliché. Is it any wonder that people grow ever weary of reading? I undertook this book not just to help aspiring writers, but to help myself and my dwindling brethren: We who still love words. For us, few joys surpass a sentence that moves one to tears or laughter. That's true whether it's found in a book, a magazine, a song, on a blog or over a urinal. Such love borders on sickness. It's a disease I intend to spread. I aspire to be a one-man epidemic. If I can help raise a better crop of wordsmiths, then we poor readers may have more that's worth reading.
