Book Description
“Perfect to read on the beach.” –The Boston Globe To go for it or not to go for it? That is the question when two former high school flames return to their Shakespeare-obsessed hometown for a summer of theater and unexpected romance, in a laugh-out-loud rom-com from debut author Jessica Martin. Literary agent and writer Miranda Barnes rolls into her hometown of Bard’s Rest with one goal in mind: to spend the summer finally finishing her YA novel, the next installment in her bestselling fantasy series. Yet Miranda’s mother, deep in the planning stages for the centennial of the town’s beloved annual Shakespeare festival, has other ideas. Before you can say “all’s fair in love and war,” Miranda is cornered into directing Twelfth Night—while simultaneously scrambling to finish her book, navigating a family health scare, and doing her best to avoid the guy who broke her heart on prom night. When it comes to Adam, the veterinarian with a talent for set design and an infuriating knack for winning over Miranda’s dog, the lady doth protest too much. As any Shakespeare lovers knows, the course of true love never did run smooth, and soon Miranda realizes she’ll have to decide whether to trust Adam with her heart again.

Book Description
Kevin Long and Mary T. Christel offer active drama approaches that position students to engage with a rich text through low-risk speaking and improvisation activities as a part of any ELA classroom. Shakespeare didn't write his plays for readers; he wrote individual "cue scripts" for actors who hadn't read the entire play but had to perform on the fly with almost no rehearsal. Those cue scripts have become the written form of his dramas, compiled originally in the First Folio of 1623. And the actors' cues for meaning, emotion, and emphasis are still embedded in Shakespeare's language, ripe for discovery by today's students. Shakespeare's plays rightly remain a staple of the ELA curriculum, but evolving standards and youth culture itself challenge teachers to put students--not a text--at the center of a reading experience in order to support diverse readers and learners. How can we do this? Experienced educators Kevin Long and Mary T. Christel introduce us to the Folio technique, which builds on active drama approaches that position students to engage with a rich text through low-risk speaking and improvisation activities. Without requiring students to become actors, the Folio technique helps them to discover the clues the Bard built into his works that allow actors to efficiently understand their characters' text, context, and subtext. Teachers can use excerpts from the First Folio along with a mass market paperback or digital edition of a play to help students get closer to Shakespeare's intentions; understand the language, action, and emotions of the characters; and perhaps even explore the challenges the Bard's modern editors face. The book offers suggestions for using parallel text, graphic, and abridged editions of Shakespeare's works, as well as activities using cue scripts and a variety of viewing experiences. A deep dive into the rich resources available for teaching Shakespeare's plays, Bring on the Bard is for every high school teacher--early career to veteran--looking for new, hands-on activities to draw students of all ability levels into the work and world of Shakespeare.

Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK Lunch in Paris: A Love Story with Recipes is not only a love letter to France and Elizabeth Bard’s husband Gwendal, but a love letter to good food as well. Bard takes the mundane aspects of solitary ingredients and writes about them so intricately that reading about a rare pave au poivre maes you to feel the steak in your mouth. What starts out as a one-afternoon stand (she and husband Gwendal had their first date in the afternoon) turns into a love affair of epic proportions not only with each other, but with their beloved France as well. The recipes almost always follow a significant event in Bard’s life. Upon meeting her future in-laws for the first time, after a five hour car ride, her nervousness is contagious. But all was well as Gwendal’s parents threw together a magnificent feast of poached cod with wilted leeks and homemade mayonnaise. Life would never be the same for Bard again, nor for Gwendal’s parents. After meeting her mother-in-law, Elizabeth, Nicole promptly signs up for English classes. MEET THE AUTHOR With over 25 years experience as a writer and editor, Lucille Barilla can get a job completed correctly and with flair! Her brain is a cesspool of information that, if not for her writing, would just sit there and go to waste! Thank goodness for instant recall about celebs and who they're dating, otherwise she would never be able to finish a TV guide crossword puzzle! EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK “Elizabeth Bard is originally a New Yorker and found her way to London in the early 2000’s. During a trip to attend a conference in Paris, she met her Gwendal and fell in love. Bard subsequently split her time between London and Paris, trying to make a long-distance relationship work, as she had vowed not to give up her independence. The pull of France; its food, people, life and of course her boyfriend was just too strong and Bard relocated to the south of France. (elizabethbard.com) Learning how to live in a place where both the language and customs were foreign to her was a challenge for Bard, who described herself as a lonely only child who only found her peace while strolling through the many museums New York had to offer. Bard later became fluent in the French language and began to learn the recipes that had been handed down to her husband’s family through generations. Buy a copy to keep reading!
