Book Synopsis Walking a Literary Labryinth by : Nancy M. Malone
Download or read book Walking a Literary Labryinth written by Nancy M. Malone and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-07-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nancy Malone’s thoughtful and poignant novel asks us to consider how our identity and our capacity to connect to others is shaped by the literature we read. Who of us doesn’t have a list of books that changed our life? Reflecting on her own reading life, Nancy Malone examines the influence of reading in how we define ourselves. Throughout, she likens the experience of reading to walking a labyrinth, itself a metaphor for our spiritual journey through life. The paths within the labyrinth are not straight, but winding, and in the end, it is not the small circle in the center that defines the self, but the whole grand design of the labyrinth—every experience, every person we meet, and every book we read—that makes us who we are. Malone draws from diverse sources, both spiritual and secular—Virginia Woolf, Saint Augustine, E. E. Cummings, Paul Tillich, Nadine Gordimer, George Herbert, Sue Grafton, Henry James, George Eliot, James Joyce, Patrick O’Brien, E. M. Forster, Franz Kafka, Elie Wiesel, Margaret Atwood, and Tom Wolfe, to name a few. Her thoughtful and beautifully articulated examination of influential books takes in a broad range of subjects, including childhood reading; books as sacred objects; reading and social responsibility; “dangerous” reading, which challenges us to examine our prejudices and beliefs; poetry; and erotic literature. And Malone has compiled a recommended reading list to inspire readers to seek out the unfamiliar or return to old favorites. In Walking a Literary Labyrinth, Malone invites all us readers, of every religious tradition, or none, to consider the influence of reading in our own lives—how and why particular books stay with us, how they shape us, and how they enlarge our humanity.

Book Synopsis The Multiliteracies Classroom by : Kathy A. Mills
Download or read book The Multiliteracies Classroom written by Kathy A. Mills and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The multiliteracies approach to literacy education has become established as an accessible and effective paradigm for classroom practice in the 21st century. The Multiliteracies Classroom enlivens this theory with its vivid description of events in a real classroom. Teachers will identify with the lively transcripts of classroom interactions, and be inspired to widen students’ access to new literacy practices in an increasingly digital and globalised world. The possibilities and constraints that can be encountered when implementing multiliteracies are explored in detail. Educators know from experience that students begin their classroom journey with entirely unequal opportunities for literacy success. The Multiliteracies Classroom does not ignore this reality, highlighting the influence of society’s patterns of power on literacy learning in the digital age. Its key themes provide a blueprint for the future of literacy research and practice.

Book Synopsis Reading Interventions for the Improvement of the Reading Performances of Bilingual and Bi-dialectal Children by : Dr. Afra Johnson
Download or read book Reading Interventions for the Improvement of the Reading Performances of Bilingual and Bi-dialectal Children written by Dr. Afra Johnson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the remedial pedagogy applied during intervention designed to improve the students’ metacognitive processes of learning new English-language knowledge. Today’s globalization and technology on social behaviors demand that school-age students acquire reading skills by the use of audio-visual practices. The linguistic integrations during the intervention processes combined with direct instruction produced an individualized awareness of improvements in comprehension. Each student cognitively processed the audio input and visual text. My findings were related to the cultural practices of ESOL and ELL students to counteract the mismatch between home and school language frameworks. This type of technique encourages students to use the concepts of the English language related to what they hear, read, and speak within and outside of the school environment.
Book Synopsis Developing Literacy and the Arts in Schools by : Georgina Barton
Download or read book Developing Literacy and the Arts in Schools written by Georgina Barton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The teaching of the arts and literacy in schools is often at odds with one another. The desire for schools to improve results on high-stakes testing can lead to a narrow view of literacy rather than one that acknowledges the unique and distinct literacies that exist in other curriculum areas including the arts. With methods of communication becoming increasingly complex, it will be more and more important for students to be able to utilise all semiotic modes. Developing Literacy and the Arts in Schools investigates this key issue in education and offers a solution to the negative relationship between the arts and literacy. Drawing on interview data and evidence from diverse classrooms, it explores the pedagogies of effective arts practitioners and teachers, and how they relate to theoretical frameworks, to unpack the key elements of effective practice related to literacy and the arts. A model of arts-literacies is provided to assist arts and literacy educators in developing a common language that acknowledges and values these distinct arts-literacies. Themes of multimodality, diversity, aesthetics and reflection in relation to the arts and literacy are foregrounded throughout. This book will be of great value to postgraduate students of Education specialising in arts and literacy, education academics, teacher educators, and classroom and preservice teachers.
Book Synopsis Asia Literacy in a Global World by : Hannah Soong
Download or read book Asia Literacy in a Global World written by Hannah Soong and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is particularly timely in light of continuing international efforts to integrate Asia literacy into a national educational system where understanding of Asia – its languages, cultures, histories, and beliefs – is still at an emergent stage for a nation that is evolving into what George Megalogenis refers as ‘an Eurasian society’ (2015). The contributors to this collection range from the pioneers who created and developed the Asia literacy research space, to those who bring additional new theoretical insights through disciplines such as linguistics and ethnography. Their analysis has resulted in recommendations to develop a deeper understanding of working and living in diverse communities. The book also brings together theoretical perspectives on the current Australian socio-cultural and political context and how that can impact on pedagogical advancement in Asia literacy. The book argues for a broadening focus on what the outcomes Asia literacy in a global world can be for all Australians and offers counter narratives to the myth of a homogenous ‘White Australian culture’, to provide new ways of engaging with curriculum and pedagogy that transcend superficial awareness of multiculturalism to embrace realistic and reflective principles of global education.
Download or read book Follow This Thread written by Henry Eliot and published by Crown. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beautifully designed and gorgeously illustrated, this immersive, puzzle-like exploration of the history and psychology of mazes and labyrinths evokes the spirit of Choose Your Own Adventure, the textual inventiveness of Tom Stoppard, and the philosophical spirit of Jorge Luis Borges. Labyrinths are as old as humanity, the proving grounds of heroes, the paths of pilgrims, symbols of spiritual rebirth and pleasure gardens for pure entertainment. Henry Eliot leads us on a twisting journey through the world of mazes, real and imagined, unraveling our ancient, abiding relationship with them and exploring why they continue to fascinate us, from Kafka to Kubrick to the myth of the Minotaur and a quest to solve the disappearance of the legendary Maze King. Are you ready to step inside?
