Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
Praise for Born Blind – “An extraordinary idea...” – W. S., national law firm partner “...intriguingly explores its themes of legality and justice.” - Kirkus Reviews “A unique novel - an education in American history played out in the lives of the protagonists.” - Rev. E. A. Schroder (tedschroder.com) The story continues in A Potter’s Vessel - The national crisis that erupted in Born Blind intensifies as Tennessee’s petition to withdraw from the Union goes to trial before the Supreme Court. The President and the Congress strive to pre-empt the Court’s verdict ahead of the elections of 1860. Every check and balance crafted into the Constitution is employed by the competing forces. Does the Constitution dictate that the votes of only five justices can validate Tennessee’s withdrawal? Or does the vote of the people and the Congress trump the power of the judiciary? Did the wisdom of the founding fathers enable the states to resolve their differences peaceably under the rule of law? Or did their compromises ensure that this constitutional case will be tried on the battlefield?

On the Write Track
Author: James Clements
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000655989
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
On the Write Track puts teachers’ autonomy and their knowledge of what is right for their pupils at the heart of teaching writing. It explores a set of research-based principles, before illustrating these with case studies and examples of classroom practice. Writing is about communication. Learning to write gives children a voice that others will listen to – a voice they can use to share their ideas, articulate their feelings, amuse and delight their readers and argue for what they believe in. While every child, every teacher and every classroom are different, approaches to teaching writing can sometimes feel prescriptive, whether they are based on a particular curriculum model, commercial scheme, assessment system or underlying philosophy. This book provides freedom and choice by introducing a series of ‘tracks’ for writing teaching, including practical approaches to: Building a community of writers in the classroom Employing a process-led sequence for teaching writing Encouraging children to write for pleasure and share their own interests Exploring the use of rich and diverse texts as fuel for writing Drawing on spoken language and oracy to develop written communication Teaching grammar and punctuation to support writing Utilising feedback to help children develop their writing voice Using drama and play as starting points for writing Through considering these different tracks and thinking about how to weave them together into a coherent whole, teachers can help every child to make the journey to being a confident, skilled, keen writer.

The Castle of Wolfenbach
Author: Eliza Parsons
Publisher: Graphic Arts Books
ISBN: 1513287907
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
The Castle of Wolfenbach (1793) is a novel by Eliza Parsons. Employing themes common to the popular genre of Gothic fiction, Parsons crafts a chilling tale of murder and mystery that remains uniquely entertaining to this day. Referred to as a “horrid” novel in Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey, The Castle of Wolfenbach was recognized as a terrifying precursor to such classics as Ann Radcliffe’s The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794), often considered the quintessential Gothic novel. Orphaned as a young girl, Matilda Weimar is raised by her uncle, a domineering figure whose attentions soon turn abusive. Left with no choice, Matilda flees with her trusted servant Albert. They arrive after some time in the harsh countryside at the cottage of Pierre and Jaqueline, who have only one bed and no food to offer. Desperate, Matilda and Albert make their way to the haunted Castle of Wolfenbach, where caretakers Joseph and Bertha offer to give them shelter. Although they seem hesitant, the caretakers reveal that the Count was a terrible man who left his wife and children to die in captivity and advise their unexpected guests to be gone by morning. As night falls, Matilda hears strange sounds coming from inside the castle, and sneaks up into the tower to investigate. There, she encounters a woman and her servant, who are surprised to find a stranger in their midst. Sensing their sympathy, Matilda recounts the story of her life. The next day, after Matilda and Albert have left for France, the castle burns to the ground—but its mystery remains. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Eliza Parsons’ The Castle of Wolfenbach is a classic of British horror fiction reimagined for modern readers.
