Book Description
Revision is often a confusing and difficult process for students, but it's also the most important part of the writing process. If students leave our classrooms not knowing how to move a piece of writing forward, we've failed them. Revision Decisions will help teachers develop the skills students need in an ever-evolving writing, language, and reading world. Jeff Anderson and Deborah Dean have written a book that engages writers in the tinkering, playing, and thinking that are essential to clarify and elevate writing. Focusing on sentences, Jeff and Deborah use mentor texts to show the myriad possibilities that exist for revision. Essential to their process is the concept of classroom talk. Readers will be shown how revision lessons can be discussed in a generative way, and how each student can benefit from talking through the revision process as a group. Revision Decisions focuses on developing both the writing and the writer. The easy-to-follow lessons make clear and accessible the rigorous thinking and the challenging process of making writing work. Narratives, setup lessons, templates, and details about how to move students toward independence round out this essential book. Additionally, the authors weave the language, reading, and writing goals of the Common Core and other standards into an integrated and connected practice. The noted language arts teacher James Britton once said that good writing "floats on a sea of talk." Revision Decisions supports those genuine conversations we naturally have as readers and writers, leading the way to the essential goal of making meaning.

The Timeless Swing
Author: Tom Watson
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 147110849X
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
Tom Watson's stunning performance in the 2009 British Open was the story of the year in golf - if not in all sports. Nearing his 60th birthday, he led the world's oldest major championship with one hole to play and came within an unlucky bounce of winning his sixth Open championship, losing in a playoff. Known at the highest levels of the game as a shotmaker's shotmaker, a master of any shot under any conditions, and the finest foul-weather golfer of all time, Watson relied on a swing that has lasted as an unmatched model of good mechanics, rhythm and repeatability. Jack Nicklaus and other peers believe Watson is swinging better today than when he was a dominant player on the regular PGA Tour 30-plus years ago. In THE TIMELESS SWING, Watson offers a lifetime's worth of wisdom and insight into the game of golf, showing how to become a better player at any age. In Watson's plain-spoken voice, the book will distil the most important lessons for how to improve your swing and score and will be laced with the anecdotal stories and bits of wisdom that have been accumulated by Watson during his forty year professional career. With a foreword by Jack Nicklaus and 4-color photographs by award-winning Golf Digest photographer Dom Furore illustrating Watson's method throughout.

Mindful Project Management
Author: Dr. Hari Thapliyaal
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
The narratives within these pages are rooted in reality. To ensure its accessibility to a diverse audience, I've tailored some accounts by adjusting their sequences and numbers. This book aims to empower professionals to extract meaningful insights even from seemingly trivial occurrences, urging us all to lead a more conscious life. My hope is that this reading inspires you to imbue every life event with significance. Whether we consider ourselves ordinary students or astute observers, the nature, our surroundings, and the cosmos continuously impart lessons. It is our responsibility to invest the time to experience and interpret these teachings within the fabric of our lives. This self-help book caters to the realm of project leadership while steering readers toward a thoughtful approach to project management. Project management, as a profession, encapsulates diverse elements such as scope, schedule, cost, risk, quality, resources, stakeholders, and time-bound objectives aimed at instigating change sponsored by the project. Consequently, I employ project management terminology, often assigning different meanings compared to their conventional usage. If you possess some background in project management, certain terms may be familiar as they exist within this domain. I endeavor to define pertinent terms whenever they are referenced to ensure clarity and understanding.
