IMPRISONED
Author: Tommy Clancy
Publisher: The Real Tom Clancy
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 461
Book Description
The fourth book in the series ‘IMPRISONED - The Secret She Keeps Inside’, which continues the story of what began as an innocent Friendship Request on Phazebook that led to flirting, spiraled into Lust, then quickly developed into what seems to be an unstoppable Love Story, only to be cradled by Narcissism. The Journey will pick up at the end of the third book ‘EXPOSED - A Crack in Her Hidden Fortress’ leaving off after the discovery that Maxi had been Living Two Lives. Her lives where not split by day & night. Her lives were split between her Two Realities. The Atlantic Ocean separating us seemed like the smallest of barriers when I was willing to go to the moon for a cup of coffee and conversation. Day to day, she existed as a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister and a primary school teacher. She lived in an idyllic village and appeared happily settled in life with marriage, family, friends and community. She was “the sunshine” of her village and her family. But for her, she was dying inside. She had not wanted to get pregnant. She did not want to get married. And she did not want to be limited to a small village in Germany. She, like many suffering from depression, put on her mask and was walking through life miserable on the inside. She was in an unfulfilling marriage. Her family was controlling, especially her parents. She loved her children, but fought against motherhood. Her life was much like the weather ‘an der Donau’ (on the Donau River) …flashes of hot & sunny, but mostly cloudy with high probability of rain & blinding fog. With us being worlds apart, literally & figuratively, in space and mind, we originally agreed for her to come back to Boston for a visit, where we fell in love some 18 years ago. It would be romantic for both of us, and safe for her to keep me separate from her family. But when would she be able to leave her new baby, Sebastian? Maybe, it would be easier if we came up with a better plan? Without Yearning, there can be no Longing. Without Lust, there can be no Desire. Without Sorrow, there can be no Love. Without the Devil, there can be no God. The Silent Seduction Series is based on a False Reality, a Real Fantasy and a True Story. Character names and certain identifiers have been changed to protect the Innocent, the Young and those unaware of how History is writing itself Every day. There are those of us that are Observers and those that are Oblivious to what is Happening right in front of them.

Nonfiction Readers Theatre for Beginning Readers
Author: Anthony D. Fredericks
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA

Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Teachers and librarians are continually looking for an interesting, fun way to input content knowledge to build that background information which will help push up student expository reading scores. Nonfiction readers theatre is one way to accomplish this. Professor Fredericks offers 30 short nonfiction readers theatre plays for the young reader (grades 1-3) on topics ranging from earth and natural science to community helpers, holidays, and government. Test scores across the country show American students are far more able to read narrative than nonfiction text. Some research speculates this is due to a great lack in the background knowledge of many children. Librarians are beginning to realize that a unique fit for the school librarian is as a provider of background knowledge materials for teachers to use.

Book Description
American English File Second Edition retains the popular methodology developed by world-renowned authors Christina Latham-Koenig and Clive Oxenden: language + motivation = opportunity.

The first goal is to explore the difference between fairness and justice in language assessment. The authors distinguish internal and external dimensions of the equitable and just treatment of individuals taking language tests which are used as gatekeeping devices to determine access to education and employment, immigrant status, citizenship, and other rights. The second goal is to show how the extent of test fairness can be demonstrated and improved using the tools of psychometrics, in particular the models collectively known as Rasch measurement. “This book will have an enormous impact on the field of language assessment. Using Rasch analysis models to explore and identify sources of unfairness, the authors make a compelling case for fairness in the design and implementation of language assessment instruments and for justice in the interpretation and use of test results. A real strength of the book is that it guides readers through analytical techniques in an accessible way.” Dan Douglas, Professor Emeritus, Applied Linguistics Program, Iowa State University.
