Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Randall McLean, talking about baseball is as easy as breathing. He can have a casual conversation with anybody on any baseball-related topic. As a baseball aficionado and researcher, Randall (nicknamed "Bando") grew up around baseball, from playing Little League to coaching Little League. In "Baseball and New York: A Poetic Walk," Randall writes on a vast array of all things baseball and New York - from his trips to Cooperstown at the National Baseball Hall of Fame, to his adventurous first and subsequent trips to New York City, including his experience during 9/11. He not only walks you through written historical achievements, but also his own personal baseball stories, which is reflected through his poetry. From his insightful humor and personal viewpoints into baseball, his passion for the game shows through in his writings, not only for the experienced baseball fan, but for those who want to cherish and celebrate history. His love for the sport has inspired him to write "Baseball and New York: A Poetic Walk," his first written homage to the sport. Randall lives with his wife outside Vancouver, British Columbia.

Book Synopsis Keep It R.E.A.L.! by : Mary Amanda Stewart
Download or read book Keep It R.E.A.L.! written by Mary Amanda Stewart and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces a set of pedagogical practices designed to assist adolescent English learners in developing their English skills in a way that honors and leverages their native languages and cultures. Responding to the linguistic and educational diversity of adolescents, the R.E.A.L. (Relevant, Engaging, and Affirming Literacy) method offers teachers a range of scalable activities, reading lists, and other resources, along with numerous suggestions on how to adapt them for students’particular needs. By sharing experiences from actual secondary English classes, Stewart presents diverse learners making meaningful connections to texts and responding through writing, speaking, and other artistic means. These students are developing high levels of literacy, English language skills, and even biliteracy through R.E.A.L. instruction that all English teachers can use. “Keep It R.E.A.L. is a must-read for secondary teachers and teacher educators who want their students to appreciate literacy as a critical resource for lifelong learning. This is truly an invaluable resource for teachers of multilingual youth.” —Christian Faltis, chair and professor, The Ohio State University “A must-have resource! The powerful student-centered and teacher-friendly framework Mary Amanda Stewart offers in this book makes building literacy skills for adolescent English learners achievable and impactful.” —Andrea Honigsfeld, associate dean and director, Molloy College, New York

Download or read book Still Learning to Read written by Franki Sibberson and published by Stenhouse Publishers. This book was released on 2016 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword by Colby Sharp In the decade since the first edition of Still Learning to Read was published, the prevalence of testing and the Common Core State Standards have changed what is expected of both teachers and students. The new edition of Still Learning to Read focuses on the needs of students in grades 3-6 in all aspects of reading workshop, including reading workshop, read-aloud, classroom design, digital tools, fiction, nonfiction, and close reading. The book stays true to its original beliefs of slowing down and knowing our readers, but it also takes into account the sense of urgency that changing times and standards impose on classrooms. This edition examines current trends in literacy, includes a new section on intentional instructional planning, and provides expanded examples of mini-lessons and routines that promote deeper thinking about learning. It also includes a brand new chapter on scaffolding for reading nonfiction and showcases the authors' latest thinking on close reading and text complexity. Online videos provide glimpses into classrooms as students make book choices, work in small groups, and discuss their reading notebooks. Expanded and updated book lists, recommendations for digital tools, lesson cycles, and sections specifically written for school leaders round out this foundational resource.

Book Synopsis Poet in the Grandstand by : Thomas Porky McDonald
Download or read book Poet in the Grandstand written by Thomas Porky McDonald and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-11-18 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the area of ballpark hopping, there have been a number of accounts written, recorded or talked about in recent times, sometimes for a cause or others just as a gimmick. Through Poet in the Grandstand, poet and writer Thomas Porky McDonald gives us a most unique twist on a preoccupation which has grown in the past few decades, in the wake of the closings of classic old yards and the birth of the more entertainment and nostalgia driven open-air parks. From his first trip in 1990, to the fabled Comiskey Park of Shoeless Joe Jackson, Bill Veeck and the Go-Go Sox, on through to the 2010 opening of Minnesotas fabulous Target Field, featuring the modern M&M Boys, Joe Mauer and Justin Mourneau, McDonald offers up a book that is part travelogue and part poetic tribute to all the places that men and women have gone to over the years for a very personal sense of joy. This journey, done methodically, over two decades, picks up steam as the chapters begin to flow. The effect of McDonald himself clearly growing as a poet through the years is accentuated by the fact that more and more pieces are written in the later trips. The end result is a most interesting volume of not just ballparks, but Americana, as numerous attractions taken in during those ballpark weeks and weekends are also noted and/or dissected. For fourteen seasons on his own and then six more accompanied by friend and confidant Adam Boneker, McDonalds travels, highlighted by over 300 poems, can take the reader back to a simpler time or into the possibilities of the future. In chapter and in verse, Poet in the Grandstand has something for both the baseball enthusiast and the curious traveler. Fans of the game and lovers of the road will each find much to offer within these pages.

Book Synopsis The Pitch Is on the Way by : Dan Liberthson
Download or read book The Pitch Is on the Way written by Dan Liberthson and published by . This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does it feel to love, play, and watch baseball as a kid and as an adult? After a Foreword by Peter Magowan, ex-President of the SF Giants, 50 poems and 21 professional illustrations depict the players and the plays; the challenges of each position; the ups and downs of hitting and fielding; the role of support staff like umpires and coaches; and baseball's fabled history. Poetry can be fun--especially these vividly imagined poems with straightforward language that tell spell-binding stories about baseball. "In his baseball poems Dan Liberthson turns the diamond this way and that to reveal the many facets of the game and of our varied relationships to it. He does so with sharp images and wit."--Bill McGill, ex-Editor, Spitball: The Literary Baseball Magazine "I could not put this book down. The insight is incredible! I literally could feel, see, smell, and be in each poem. Dan Liberthson has poetically found the essence of our great game. I had a grin on my face reading each and every poem."--Brian Doyle, New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics infielder (1978-81) and hero of the 1978 World Series (batted .437 for the Yankees)" "Anyone who knows and loves baseball will enjoy this remarkable collection of poems."--Peter A. Magowan, ex-President, SF Giants "Liberthson does for baseball what Robert Frost did for New England. Though I'm not a baseball fan, this book distills the game's mystique so powerfully that I long for summer and the ballpark."--Nancy Etchemendy, Award-Winning Author and Poet "I have reviewed your book and, quite frankly, it is a joy to read. You certainly capture the passion of the sport and the sociological influence on many millions of people over the past 130 years."--Allan H. (Bud) Selig, ex-Commissioner of Baseball

Download or read book Baseball's Greatest Comeback written by J. Brian Ross and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baseball’s Greatest Comeback recounts the story of the 1914 Boston Braves that experienced the greatest come-from-behind season ever witnessed in baseball history. A perennially woeful team, the Braves rose from the ashes of last place—fifteen games behind on July 4th—to battle in the World Series against the Philadelphia Athletics, one of the most dominant teams of all time. Baseball fans witnessed one of sport’s most spectacular comebacks, and Boston’s National League team earned a new designation: “The Miracle Braves.” Full of timeless images and memorable characters—including a fanatically superstitious manager, a cheerfully madcap star, and an obsessively driven, yet highly sensitive captain—this book will inform and entertain baseball fans and sports historians alike.
