Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Defense of Poetry argues that literature can be defined - pragmatist and historicist arguments notwithstanding - and that in its definition its unique value can be discovered.

Despite the complicated challenges of schools, they come to and remain in the profession inspired by a conviction that through education they can move individuals and society to a more promising future. In Teaching with Heart: Poetry that Speaks to the Courage to Teach a diverse group of ninety teachers describe the complex of emotions and experiences of the teaching life – joy, outrage, heartbreak, hope, commitment and dedication. Each heartfelt commentary is paired with a cherished poem selected by the teacher. The contributors represent a broad array of educators: K-12 teachers, principals, superintendents, college professors, as well as many non-traditional teachers. They range from first year teachers to mid-career veterans to those who have retired after decades in the classroom. They come from inner-city, suburban, charter and private schools. The teachers identified an eclectic collection of poems and poets from Emily Dickinson, to Richard Wright, to Mary Oliver to the rapper Tupac Shakur. It is a book by teachers and for all who teach. The book also includes a poignant Foreword by Parker J. Palmer (The Courage to Teach), a stirring Introduction by Taylor Mali (What Teachers Make), and a moving Afterword by Sarah Brown Wessling (Teaching Channel). Where Teaching with Fire honored and celebrated the work of teachers; Teaching with Heart salutes the tenacious and relentless optimism of teachers and their belief that despite the many challenges and obstacles of the teaching life, much is possible.

Download or read book Teaching Writing written by Tessa Daffern and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-25 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 21st century, writing is more important than at any other time in human history. Yet much of the emphasis in schooling has been on reading, and after the early years, writing skills have been given less attention. Internationally, too many children are leaving school without the writing skills they need to succeed in life. The evidence indicates that students rarely develop proficiency as writers without effective teacher instruction. Teaching Writing offers a comprehensive approach for the middle years of schooling, when the groundwork should be laid for the demanding writing tasks of senior school and the workplace. Teaching Writing outlines evidence-based principles of writing instruction for upper primary students and young adolescents. It presents strategies that are ready for adoption or adaptation, and exemplars to assist with designing and implementing writing lessons across the middle years of school. It addresses writing from a multimodal perspective while also highlighting the importance of teaching linguistic aspects of text design such as sentence structure, vocabulary and spelling as foundations for meaning-making. Contributors argue that students need to continue to develop their skills in both handwriting and keyboarding. Examples of the teaching of writing across disciplines are presented through a range of vignettes. Strategies for assessing student writing and for supporting students with diverse needs are also explored. With contributions from leading literacy educators, Teaching Writing is an invaluable resource for primary, secondary and pre-service teachers.

Book excerpt: Reflections of a mind is an observation of the mind and heart. An idea that plays around our pre-beliefs of society and our mind-made systems. It's a concoction of poetry and perspective thinking. You'll experience a modest journey of my thoughts like a ship or a barge, as you may feel. It's about a roughness and the beauty of life. A large part of this attempt is merely to show you the power of the mind and its thought. This is for everyone who believes in mind matters and its command on the wellness of our existence. It's about seeing powers and the misbehaviours of our thoughts. Pain, Pleasure, Conflict, and Love. All of this has one origin, The Mind.

Download or read book A Look of Poetry written by Connie Downey and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections into Someone's Life is a collection of old and new poems, from one woman's travels through life to adulthood, facing head-on the things she'd rather ignore. Most of her works were destroyed in a flood and only retrieved through memory. Writing is what helped her get through many trials and tribulations of addiction, and inadequacy in her lifetime. It was one of the things that assisted in guiding her on when most things just didn't seem worth holding onto. Struggling in her own mind to be accepted, writing helped her to learn about herself, as well as others. For years it felt like a crutch, but when she could help others with her writing, it became a blessing, then a passion and now a dream. The beauty of time and writing is, you eventually learn to come to terms with yourself, and see the things that really do matter. An enjoyable read, it touches on many aspects of life with family, friends and everyday outlooks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When COVID-19 landed at our doorstep last spring, we collectively felt the heaviness of a global crisis not seen before in our lifetime. Schools shutdown, businesses closed down, borders sealed up, jobs became virtual, and we barricaded ourselves inside our homes waiting to be told that it's over. Waiting and watching the news. But then the news began spewing staggering numbers and heartbreaking images... hour by hour, day after day. Under the immense emotional toil, Tumkeen spent nights awake with anxiety and days tensing up every time she heard an ambulance siren speed down the road. It is then when she decided that she would transform the burden of living under a lockdown into a chance of leaning into gratitude and hope. And a challenge to herself was born. Tumkeen spent the next 30 days taking the troubles of her heart and turning them into lessons of healing and growth. She shared some of them but there was so much more going on in her heart. She began writing poetry as well. She compiled all of these reflections and poetry and decided to turn them into a book... her first book. A chance to seize the moment and not only grow personally but to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a published author, under the guidance of award-winning author Na'ima B Robert. Breathe - Reflections and Poetry from the 2020 Lockdown is a book that highlights the emotional journey of a mother surviving a pandemic lockdown with her family. From gratitude to fears, hope to stress, faith to worry. From appreciating brave souls who cared for sick ones to lonely ones who spent months distanced from the world. At a time when every breath counts, we are reminded of the blessing and healing that comes when we choose to breathe.
Book Synopsis Poetic Reflections by : Dr Tapati Ray
Download or read book Poetic Reflections written by Dr Tapati Ray and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-02 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection is a tapestry woven with a hint of metaphor and a glimpse of more than meets the eye, poetry tempered by the consciousness of the muse translating from the heart - Tapati's muse translates with her through her first language with subtlety in observation, reflection and storytelling. This discerning selection of poems is written with a keen range of receptive candor while still reaching deep (Reflection), a passionate sensitivity for love (Light of a Thousand Suns), mystery (Burial of Love), personification and story-telling (The River and the Mountain), a love of nature (April), and tenderness in grief (Trail Walk). Passionate, colorful and compelling, this is an intuitive and fine work, a complexity cloaked with a sensitive harmony that is worthy of a second read, written in the voice of a natural poet - there is indeed more than meets the eye. -Robin Odam
