The Scar Boys
Author: Len Vlahos
Publisher: Carolrhoda Lab ®
ISBN: 1606844407
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
A severely burned teenager. A guitar. Punk rock. The chords of a rock 'n' roll road trip in a coming-of-age novel that is a must-read story about finding your place in the world . . . even if you carry scars inside and out. In attempting to describe himself in his college application essay—to "help us to become acquainted with you beyond your courses, grades, and test scores"—Harbinger (Harry) Jones goes way beyond the 250-word limit and gives a full account of his life. The first defining moment: the day the neighborhood goons tied him to a tree during a lightning storm when he was 8 years old, and the tree was struck and caught fire. Harry was badly burned and has had to live with the physical and emotional scars, reactions from strangers, bullying, and loneliness that instantly became his everyday reality. The second defining moment: the day in eighth grade when the handsome, charismatic Johnny rescued him from the bullies and then made the startling suggestion that they start a band together. Harry discovered that playing music transported him out of his nightmare of a world, and he finally had something that compelled people to look beyond his physical appearance. Harry's description of his life in his essay is both humorous and heart-wrenching. He had a steeper road to climb than the average kid, but he ends up learning something about personal power, friendship, first love, and how to fit in the world. While he's looking back at the moments that have shaped his life, most of this story takes place while Harry is in high school and the summer after he graduates.

Talking to Learn
Author: Pauline Jones
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351348841
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
This book examines the place of talk in learning and the role of such talk in literacy education. It builds on a strong tradition of research into the role of talk in constructing curriculum knowledge, the relationship between talking and thinking, and the significance of extended, in-depth dialogic interaction in classroom talk. However, it differs from tradition with its emphasis on the need to make the role of language in learning more visible and more explicit. This book places particular emphasis on the relationship between dialogic pedagogy and language-based approaches to learning. Contributions range from discussions on educational linguistics and dialogic pedagogy as complementary perspectives to needs of students for whom English is an additional language or dialect. This volume was originally published as a special issue of Research Papers in Education.

Red Rover! Red Rover! Send the Dead Over!
Author: Drac Von Stoller
Publisher: Drac Von Stoller
ISBN:
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 4
Book Description
Before this story begins some of us may have heard of the Red Rover game that has been played long ago at many school yards. With many games, there is a time when someone says “Hey why don’t we play it this way?” When the game is played in a different way it becomes more exciting and you’ll want to play it again. Let’s move on ahead with the rules of the Red Rover game in this story and a brief history behind it. The game Red Rover began around the 19th century in schoolyards that consisted of two teams that would line up opposite of each other, no more than thirty feet apart. The first team agrees to call one player from the opposite team, and chants “Red Rover, Red Rover, send (player name) on over!” The person called runs to the other line and attempts to break the chain (formed by the linking of hands).” Since you have an insight as to how the game is played this is where the story begins. Ravendale High School was having a Halloween contest on Friday the 13th in 1963 and Johnny Deadman had a hearse that he liked to give his friends a ride in especially on Halloween night. Johnny was also a prankster and would drive his hearse around town on Halloween night when the trick-or-treaters were going door to door asking for candy. Johnny would pull his hearse alongside the trick-or-treaters and tell them he would give them a ride in his hearse if they would give him some candy but Johnny wanted it all. So, the unsuspecting trick-or-treater would get inside the hearse not knowing that Johnny was going to steal all of their candy and drive off leaving them crying in the cold windy night. Johnny’s prankster days were about to end soon when he picked up his four friends to give them a ride to Ravendale High’s Halloween costume contest. As the four friends got into Johnny’s hearse all in costume they were unaware of the danger that lies ahead. As the hearse was on its way to the high school Johnny decided to take a shortcut across an old wooden bridge, but as the hearse approached the bridge, the wind was so strong it blew off the sign that read “Bridge is unsafe for vehicles to cross.”
