Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a life wrapped up in greed, ignorance, revenge, love and deceit, the author takes you on a thrilling and exciting journey of various Kenyan characters who all board an express bus to Mombasa, the country's coast. Meet Mumbi, an eleven year old girl whose father, a Mungiki sect religious fanatic, wants to forcibly circumcise her then marry her off to a sect member. Her seat mate is Sr. Maria, the selfless nun who is determined to save the girl, and who confronts the thugs that hijack the bus but later has to plead for their lives when her fellow passengers vow to lynch them. Chege, the naive son of a remarkably poor polygamist, gets a second opportunity in life, when he is sponsored to go to college, but in the bus he meets Ndugu Musa (Brother Moses), a reformed' jailbird who is eager to befriend him after he learns that the over-trusting villager carries his college fees in cash. Kanini is a pregnant rebellious teenager on her way back home to make peace with her parents after eloping. Loud-mouthed Othis is a promiscuous megalomaniac, taking his materialistic girlfriend to Mombasa on holiday; oblivious that there are hijackers within ear shot of their conversation and that an uncompromising brownie teacher, bearing him a grudge from the past, is also onboard and that she will go to any length to even the score. Then there is Tony, a Kenyan home on holiday from America, who carelessly accepts a painkiller from a stranger in the bus. As they struggle through the rough road, the heavy downpour and the hungry Tsavo man-eaters, can the pregnant girl make it through the journey and will the passengers who learn that they cannot trust each other all arrive in Mombasa, on time and in one piece?
Book Synopsis Telling Tales - Out of School by : Wendy Smith-Gordon
Download or read book Telling Tales - Out of School written by Wendy Smith-Gordon and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-02-02 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laugh, weep, be moved, challenged, and inspired, as you are taken on a journey of discovery. You might identify with the students – or relate to this teacher! Delve into her world, as she fulfils her childhood dream of becoming a wise and compassionate teacher. She considers teaching as the greatest privilege and responsibility. She taught her school subjects, but she also taught young people life skills: how to learn, laugh, live, love, forgive – and what really matters, in this short life we are gifted. She strongly believes that students need acceptance, and self-belief, in order to learn and to love learning – that they are worth her time, interest, and care. Her methods of engaging the interest of students were rarely traditional. But they worked! If students had difficulty, her calling as a teacher was to “find another way”. Every time. You will be touched not only by her variety of classroom stories, but by her honesty, humour, wit, and insights, but you’ll be hooked with her ‘teaching’ experiences as she travels with seven teenagers for three weeks in a foreign country. What could possibly go wrong? Enjoy.

Download or read book Telling Tales Out Of School written by Mary E. Furlong and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-11-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of my long-ago first-grade girls had a charming way of congratulating her friends when they solved a math problem, or read aloud "with expression," or did anything at all she deemed noteworthy. Invoking her favorite cartoon character, Yogi Bear, she would say, "Smarter than the av-er-age kid." It was cute. It was generous. It was kind. It was funny. And it reminded me that she herself was smarter than the av-er-age kid. My judgment of that little girl was borne out years later when she called to tell me about her new business venture in Niagara Falls. We talked at some length about the old days at Beech Avenue Elementary School, recalling incidents like our class trip to Lombardi's Farm when one of the boys took an unforgettable ride on a rambunctious calf's back. In short, we repeated the memories - the stories - we had told ourselves again and again. That's what people do; they tell stories. They organize their memories as beginning, middle, and end to figure out their meaning, the reason that they are such vivid memories in the first place. As I organized my memories of teaching to write this book, I was struck by one overriding meaning of it all. Every one of the children I was privileged to teach was ... well, 'special' doesn't quite satisfy, for the word has all but lost its meaning. So I'll borrow my former first grader - my young entrepreneur's - phrase and declare: Each and every one of my kids was in some way (sometimes in many ways) smarter than the av-er-age kid.
Book Synopsis Telling Tales Out of School by : Andrew Macalpine
Download or read book Telling Tales Out of School written by Andrew Macalpine and published by Andrew MacAlpine. This book was released on 2023-07-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Macalpine's tales range from the ridiculous - out of control end of term celebrations with students throwing flour and eggs and teachers letting rip with a fire hose. To the daring (and crazy) - the boy sitting on a roof ten storeys up with his feet dangling over the edge. To the scary - the head who lost his temper. To the frightening - the boys who threw the chairs down the stairs. To the hilarious - Andrew's cinema treat for 30 fourteen old boys which didn't go quite to plan. In other tales, a fifteen year old transport geek steals a double decker bus - and crashes it. Staffroom bridge tables are dismantled at 6 a.m. - and reassembled by morning break. An inspection rating is potentially compromised when the inspector gets his car stolen. Headteachers demonstrate their obsessions with litter and graffiti. Health and safety inspectors arrive with big boots and small brains. They include Andrew's own failings e.g. confusing girls' and boys' toilets, interrupting a class at the climax of a story reading, bluffing his way through a term teaching Spanish.

Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE TED HUGHES PRIZE 2015 Tabard Inn to Canterb'ry Cathedral, Poet pilgrims competing for free picks, Chaucer Tales, track by track, it's the remix From below-the-belt base to the topnotch; I won't stop all the clocks with a stopwatch when the tales overrun, run offensive, or run clean out of steam, they're authentic and we're keeping it real, reminisce this: Chaucer Tales were an unfinished business. In Telling Tales award-winning poet Patience Agbabi presents an inspired 21st-Century remix of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales retelling all of the stories, from the Miller's Tale to the Wife of Bath's in her own critically acclaimed poetic style. Celebrating Chaucer's Middle-English masterwork for its performance element as well as its poetry and pilgrims, Agbabi's newest collection is utterly unique. Boisterous, funky, foul-mouthed, sublimely lyrical and bursting at the seams, Telling Tales takes one of Britain's most significant works of literature and gives it thrilling new life.
Book Synopsis Telling Stories Wrong by : Gianni Rodari
Download or read book Telling Stories Wrong written by Gianni Rodari and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2023-02-07 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children's Book of 2022 ★ Everyone knows how "Little Red Riding Hood" goes. But Grandpa keeps getting the story all wrong, with hilarious results! "Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Little Yellow Riding Hood—" "Not yellow! It's Red Riding Hood!" So begins the story of a grandpa playfully recounting the well-known fairytale—or his version, at least—to his granddaughter. Try as she might to get him back on track, Grandpa keeps on adding things to the mix, both outlandish and mundane! The end result is an unpredictable tale that comes alive as it's being told, born out of imaginative play and familial affection. This spirited picture book will surprise and delight from start to finish, while reminding readers that storytelling is not only a creative act of improvisation and interaction, but also a powerful pathway for connection and love. Telling Stories Wrong was written by Gianni Rodari, widely regarded as the father of modern Italian children's literature. It exemplifies his great respect for the intelligence of children and the kind of work he did as an educator, developing numerous games and exercises for children to engage and think beyond the status quo, imagining what happens after the end of a familiar story, or what possibilities open up when a new ingredient is introduced. This book is illustrated with great affection by the illustrious artist Beatrice Alemagna (Child of Glass), who counts Gianni Rodari as one of her "spiritual fathers."

Book Synopsis Telling Tales in Latin by : Lorna Robinson
Download or read book Telling Tales in Latin written by Lorna Robinson and published by Souvenir Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telling Tales in Latin teaches Latin through the magic of storytelling. Narrated by the chatty and imaginative Roman poet Ovid (who lived in the Rome of the first century B.C), this new course takes young learners on a journey through some of the tales from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Along the way, they pick up Latin words and grammar, explore the connections between Latin and English and discover how Ovid's stories still speak to us today. Each chapter introduces one of Ovid's much-loved stories, encouraging children to begin reading Latin immediately while exploring the literary and mythic context of the stories. At the end of each chapter there are suggested activities to help learners to think about what they have just read, and to understand how the stories connect to ideas and issues that are still relevant today, from relationships with others and philosophy, to science and caring for the planet. Soham De's illustrations bring Ovid's stories alive for a wide range of learners and make learning Latin a colourful journey of discovery. Telling Tales in Latin outlines how Latin is the basis for English grammar, unlocking the complexities of learning English (and other languages) along the way. It also contains the vocabulary and grammar needed for the OCR Entry Level Latin qualification, making this book the ideal first introduction to Latin.
