Book excerpt: Research Question: To what extent does teaching the reading strategy of identifying cause and effect by using a graphic organizer impact my students' comprehension of their history text? Research Activities: This research was conducted in an 11th grade college prep, U.S. History classroom in a large suburban California high school where I am the teacher of record. There are 33 students in the classroom. Four of the students in the class have been re-designated as English Language Proficient. There are also 3 English Language Learners in the class. I chose 4 focus students to look at for the intervention. Each of them has Spanish as a home language. One is English Language Proficient, one was recently re-designated English Language Proficient, and two are still classified as English Language Learners. The intervention took place over a week and a half, from January 20th, 2009 to February 4, 2009. The intervention involved direct instruction, teacher-led whole class work and modeling, paired in-class work, and independent work. The class also did whole-class guided work correction and analysis. I collected several forms of data throughout the intervention. I began the intervention with an attitudinal survey. I also administered a baseline assessment, a mid-intervention quiz, two sets of paired/independent graphic organizers, a final assessment and a final survey. The purpose of this intervention was to determine the effect on students' comprehension of their history text of teaching cause and effect text structure and of utilizing a graphic organizer. Before the intervention, over one-half of my students lacked an awareness or a knowledge of problems they encountered while they read, and over one-half the students couldn't point to any specific strategies they used while reading. After the intervention, based on the analysis of their surveys and an interview with the focus students, nearly the whole class saw value in and an appreciation of how understanding text structure can lead to better reading comprehension. The class average increased from a 76% on the baseline assessment to an 80% on the final assessment. On the final assessment, the students made fewer comprehension-related errors. This indicated that they were using a learned strategy to assist in reading comprehension and that the strategy indeed helped with reading comprehension. Instructional Approaches: Assessment/Evaluation, Class discussion, Cooperative learning, Direct Instruction, Homework, Graphic Organizers/Concept Maps, Reading-Comprehension, Reading-Strategies, Think-alouds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ronald Reagan’s most-quoted living author—George Gilder—is back with an all-new paradigm-shifting theory of capitalism that will upturn conventional wisdom, just when our economy desperately needs a new direction. America’s struggling economy needs a better philosophy than the college student's lament: "I can't be out of money, I still have checks in my checkbook!" We’ve tried a government spending spree, and we’ve learned it doesn’t work. Now is the time to rededicate our country to the pursuit of free market capitalism, before we’re buried under a mound of debt and unfunded entitlements. But how do we navigate between government spending that's too big to sustain and financial institutions that are "too big to fail?" In Knowledge and Power, George Gilder proposes a bold new theory on how capitalism produces wealth and how our economy can regain its vitality and its growth. Gilder breaks away from the supply-side model of economics to present a new economic paradigm: the epic conflict between the knowledge of entrepreneurs on one side, and the blunt power of government on the other. The knowledge of entrepreneurs, and their freedom to share and use that knowledge, are the sparks that light up the economy and set its gears in motion. The power of government to regulate, stifle, manipulate, subsidize or suppress knowledge and ideas is the inertia that slows those gears down, or keeps them from turning at all. One of the twentieth century’s defining economic minds has returned with a new philosophy to carry us into the twenty-first. Knowledge and Power is a must-read for fiscal conservatives, business owners, CEOs, investors, and anyone interested in propelling America’s economy to future success.

Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Reamde, and Cryptonomicon comes an exciting and thought-provoking science fiction epic—a grand story of annihilation and survival spanning five thousand years. What would happen if the world were ending? A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb. In a feverish race against the inevitable, nations around the globe band together to devise an ambitious plan to ensure the survival of humanity far beyond our atmosphere, in outer space. But the complexities and unpredictability of human nature coupled with unforeseen challenges and dangers threaten the intrepid pioneers, until only a handful of survivors remain . . . Five thousand years later, their progeny—seven distinct races now three billion strong—embark on yet another audacious journey into the unknown . . . to an alien world utterly transformed by cataclysm and time: Earth. A writer of dazzling genius and imaginative vision, Neal Stephenson combines science, philosophy, technology, psychology, and literature in a magnificent work of speculative fiction that offers a portrait of a future that is both extraordinary and eerily recognizable. As he did in Anathem, Cryptonomicon, the Baroque Cycle, and Reamde, Stephenson explores some of our biggest ideas and perplexing challenges in a breathtaking saga that is daring, engrossing, and altogether brilliant.
