His c2 equation allows travel at light speed. So, his team builds a grand new ship capable of carrying two thousand people on an eight-and-a-half-year trip to the stars. Back on his home world, a race was on with the cities of the east. They have their own light speed program and have the same destination planet in mind. As Dr. Chi embarks on his journey and transforms from mathematician to explorer, he leads the charge as history, mythology, and religion are examined in new ways, through archeology, space travel, ritual, and legend. As he, his team, and his crew search for evidence of ancient civilizations on new worlds, they determine that they are not alone in this vast universe full of surprises. In this science fiction tale, a mathematician turned explorer travels on light-speed adventures in space where mythology springs to life and his destiny awaits.
Book Synopsis Genre-Based Strategies to Promote Critical Literacy in Grades 4–8 by : Danielle E. Hartsfield
Download or read book Genre-Based Strategies to Promote Critical Literacy in Grades 4–8 written by Danielle E. Hartsfield and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Draws on critical and radical change theory to equip both aspiring and practicing library and teacher candidates with practical, research-based ideas for enacting critical literacy practices in middle grade libraries and classrooms. Genre Based Strategies to Promote Critical Literacy in Grades 4-8 provides strategies and lesson plans with additional resources and tools for school librarians and teachers to engage middle grade students in reading children's literature through a critical literacy lens. To be critically literate readers and thinkers, students must learn to question what they read, asking themselves who wrote the text, why the text was written, and how the text positions its readers and others. Teaching students how to read from a critical literacy stance is a timely and relevant practice in a world in which text is available instantly and on nearly any mobile device. In many cases, preparation programs for school librarians and teachers do not teach candidates how to incorporate critical literacy practices in library and classroom settings. This book provides both pre-service and in-service school librarians and teachers with that professional development and guidance for teaching critical literacy in children's literature courses.

Book Synopsis Reaching Reluctant Young Readers by : Rob Reid
Download or read book Reaching Reluctant Young Readers written by Rob Reid and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reaching Reluctant Young Readers features 150 middle-grade books. Each profiled title has the potential to hook the reluctant reader and lure them to read the entire book. To specifically encourage elementary and middle-school-age reluctant children to read, there is first a pitch to get the reader’s attention. That is followed by a short reading passage to “set the hook” and encourage the young person to read the rest of the book on their own. Further, the book contains several hundred additional recommended titles. The books selected for this collection were chosen following the criteria of reluctant reader books created by the Quick Picks committee sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association. While these guidelines were designed for young adult books, they also work well for middle-grade books. The criteria include: clear writing (no convoluted long sentences with sophisticated vocabulary), high interest “hook” in the first few pages, well-defined characters, interesting plot, and familiar themes.

Download or read book Rebels of the Red Planet written by Charles L. Fontenay and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Rebels of the Red Planet' by Charles L. Fontenay, the reader is transported to a future where Mars has been colonized by Earth. The novel explores themes of rebellion, sacrifice, and the fight for freedom in a harsh and unforgiving environment. Fontenay's straightforward prose and fast-paced narrative keeps the reader engaged, making it a thrilling read for fans of science fiction. Set against the backdrop of interplanetary politics and societal unrest, the book offers a unique perspective on human nature and the drive for independence. Fontenay's attention to detail and vivid descriptions create a world that feels both alien and familiar, drawing readers into the struggle for Martian independence. Charles L. Fontenay, a prolific science fiction writer, was known for his ability to blend social commentary with thrilling and action-packed plots. His own experiences as a journalist and editor likely influenced his interest in exploring themes of rebellion and resistance in 'Rebels of the Red Planet.'

Book Synopsis Space Ethics by : Brian Patrick Green
Download or read book Space Ethics written by Brian Patrick Green and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, humans have explored new places, making both good and bad moral decisions along the way. As humanity proceeds to explore space, it is important that we learn from the successes and not repeat the mistakes of the past. This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to ethics as it applies to space exploration and use. It examines real-world case studies that exemplify the ethical challenges we face in exploring beyond Earth: space debris, militarization in space, hazardous asteroids, planetary protection, the search for extraterrestrial life, commercial and private sector activities in space, space settlements, very long duration missions, and planetary-scale interventions. Major themes include human health, environmental concerns, safety and risk, governance and decision-making, and opportunities and challenges of multidisciplinary and international contexts. Ideal for classroom use and beyond, the book provides ways of thinking that will help students, academics and policymakers examine the full range of ethical decisions on questions related to space exploration.
