Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was born in 1968, during a decade of change. My parents’ quest for equity helped to shape the woman that I am. They were high school sweethearts with lofty dreams, but their unexpected pregnancy forced them to travel down a more jagged path. #2 I was born in 1968 in Manhattan’s Beth Israel Hospital. My parents got married in 1968, and I was born fifteen days later. My mother dropped out of eleventh grade and went to live with my paternal grandmother in the South Bronx. #3 My grandmother, Nannie Mary, was an immigrant who had fled terror in one region of the country to seek safety in another. She and her family were among the millions of African Americans who escaped the bigotry and cruelty of the Jim Crow South to find opportunities elsewhere. #4 I adored my grandfather, Doc. He had a solid job working for the New York Department of Sanitation. He would lift and tote overflowing garbage cans all day, then bring his paycheck home to my grandmother every two weeks, setting aside a couple of dollars to slip to me and my cousins on the side.

Book Description
The perfect Christmas gift for the bookworm in your life. 'Beautiful and moving... It will kickstart a cascade of nostalgia for countless people' Marian Keyes When Lucy Mangan was little, stories were everything. They opened up different worlds and cast new light on this one. She was whisked away to Narnia - and Kirrin Island - and Wonderland. She ventured down rabbit holes and womble burrows into midnight gardens and chocolate factories. No wonder she only left the house for her weekly trip to the library. In Bookworm, Lucy brings the favourite characters of our collective childhoods back to life and disinters a few forgotten treasures poignantly, wittily using them to tell her own story, that of a born, and unrepentant, bookworm. 'Passionate, witty, informed, and gloriously opinionated' Jacqueline Wilson 'A deliciously nostalgic treat' Good Housekeeping 'Lucy Mangan has enough comic energy to power the National Grid' The Spectator

My Name Is Tenzin, I Am Not Chinese
Author: Pam D. Tenzin
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1945579129
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
Tenzin Phuntsok was brought to India from his homeland, Tibet, at the tender age of nine. He respects this decision of his elders, though he has left his mother back home, and has never been able to meet her again. Growing up in India under the care of his uncle and the school authorities, who stand in for the parents of such refugee children, he is happy enough in India, his foster home. However, being the child of a freedom fighter, he never forgets his roots, and is very conscious of his Tibetan identity. My Name Is Tenzin, I Am Not Chinese is a first person narrative of this young Tibetan’s experiences as a college student in Chennai. Written in an easy conversational style, the story is rich with humor that cloaks the poignancy of an uprooted youth’s life in a place which is poles apart from his Himalayan homeland. The book also provides a well-researched insight into the academic opportunities in Chennai.

Evaluation without Tears
Author: Selma Wassermann
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1475853513
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
Teachers evaluate students’ work constantly. It is a built-in part of the job of teaching. Yet, what is hardly acknowledged is the subjectivity and unfairness of evaluation. Although grades and marks have long been discounted as having any reliability or validity, they endure as real and exact measures of ability and performance. Not only are they specious, they have little or nothing to do with the important goal of evaluation – that is to provide feedback to learners that enables their subsequent growth. Evaluation Without Tears provides teachers with specific examples of how they might provide evaluative feedback to students that is enabling and affirming, rather than punishing, respectful of the learner and protective of the learner’s dignity, recognizing that one person’s judgment is not truth. Teaching students to self-assess, an important dimension of growth and maturity, is a significant feature of the book.

I Am Here Now
Author: Barbara Bottner
Publisher: Imprint
ISBN: 1250207703
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 473
Book Description
Set in the 1960s, Barbara Bottner's I Am Here Now is a beautiful novel in verse about one artist’s coming of age. It’s a heartbreaking, powerful and inspiring depiction of what it's like to shatter your life—and piece it all back together. You can’t trust Life to give you decent parents, or beautiful eyes, a fine French accent or an outstanding flair for fashion. No, Life does what it wants. It’s sneaky as a thief. Maisie's first day of High school should be exciting, but all she wants is to escape. Her world is lonely and chaotic, with an abusive mother and a father who’s rarely there to help. So when Maisie, who finds refuge in her art, meets the spirited Rachel and her mother, a painter, she catches a glimpse of a very different world—one full of life, creativity, and love—and latches on. But as she discovers her strengths through Rachel’s family, Maisie, increasingly desperate, finds herself risking new friendships, and the very future she's searching for. An Imprint Book
