ReWRITING the Basics
Author: Anne Haas Dyson
Publisher: Teachers College Press
ISBN: 0807772550
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
What are the real “basics” of writing, how should they be taught, and what do they look like in children’s worlds? In her new book, Anne Haas Dyson shows how highly scripted writing curricula and regimented class routines work against young children’s natural social learning processes. Readers will have a front-row seat in Mrs. Bee’s kindergarten and Mrs. Kay’s 1st-grade class, where these dedicated teachers taught writing basics in schools serving predominately low-income children of color. The children, it turns out, had their own expectations for one another’s actions during writing time. Driven by desires for companionship and meaning, they used available linguistic and multimodal resources to construct their shared lives. In so doing, they stretch, enrich, and ultimately transform our own understandings of the basics. ReWRITING the Basics goes beyond critiquing traditional writing basics to place them in the linguistic diversity and multimodal texts of children’s everyday worlds. This engaging work: Illustrates how scripted, uniform curricula can reduce the resources of so-called “at-risk” children.Provides insight into how children may situate writing within the relational ethics and social structures of childhood cultures. Offers guiding principles for creating a program that will expand children’s possibilities in ways that are compatible with human sociability. Includes examples of children’s writing, reflections on research methods, and demographic tables. “Dyson’s ethnographies offer new ways of thinking about writing time and remind us of the importance of play, talk, and social relationships in children’s literacy learning. If every literacy researcher could write like Dyson, teachers would want to read about research! If policymakers took her insights on board, classrooms might become more respectful and enjoyable spaces for literacy teaching and learning that soar way above the basics.” —Barbara Comber, Queensland University of Technology, Australia

Manny's Law
Author: Reynaldo Prieto
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1642140554
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
Imagine losing a child because of lack of health insurance. Imagine trying to do everything possible to try to get him the proper care that would save his life. What parent wouldn't give their life to save their child? Then imagine your child being ignored and left to die because his health-care providers thought money was more important than his life. This didn't happen in some third-world country. It happened right here in the USA. My son's death prompted New York State to pass a law in an effort to prevent this from happening. Did you know that New York State has millions of dollars to pay for patients who are poor or uninsured or unaware about help available? No? Well, neither did I. This book is the tragic story of Manuel Lanza, who fell victim to greedy doctors and a system that quite frankly is broken. I'm talking about our "for profit" health-care system. He was left to die because he didn't have health insurance. No one deserves the cruelty that we as a family, but more importantly Manny, went through. No parent should have to bury a child because of greed. No one should decide who lives and dies. No one gave him a chance at life, and in four short months, all his dreams were shattered and we lost our precious son. Then ten years later, my younger son got cancer. This book tells the story of our experiences with our health-care system. Be prepared to read about our emotional roller coaster and read the true details of what happened here in America. It is surely an eye-opener as well as a tearjerker.
