Download or read book Ernest the Elephant Goes to the Seaside written by Joyce Beasley and published by . This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second of a series of booklets I have written about Ernest the Elephant. It is aimed at children from the ages of 5 to 7 years, Key Stage 1. Each booklet contains a story about Ernest (who is supposed never to forget, but who always does!) accompanied by simple comprehension questions. The aim is to provide an interesting story for children to read on their own, or with adult support, and also to introduce the concept of answering questions with a full sentence. Many of my older students are unable to do comprehension. This is because their reading skills and their deduction skills are not very good. It is my opinion that the younger the child, the easier it is to master these skills. I have, therefore, produced a series of stories and activities based around the character of Ernest. I do not in any way wish to 'hot-house' children, but I do think it is important to learn basic skills as soon as possible, because failure to do so leads to lots of problems as the child progresses through school.Everything I have written is based on my own teaching and tutoring experiences. I know that children find certain areas of literacy extremely difficult, and the same problems crop up time and time again. Hopefully, by using these booklets, some of these problems can be avoided.

Download or read book The Old Man and the Sea written by Ernest Hemingway and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last novel Ernest Hemingway saw published, The Old Man and the Sea has proved itself to be one of the enduring works of American fiction. It is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal: a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Using the simple, powerful language of a fable, Hemingway takes the timeless themes of courage in the face of defeat and personal triumph won from loss and transforms them into a magnificent twentieth-century classic. Written in 1952, this hugely successful novel confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Book excerpt: In many ways, Sherman is a guy's guy. He eats everything in sight. His so-called smooth moves with his girlfriend sink like a stone. And his happy-go-lucky manner endears him to all of his friends. What makes Sherman atypical is the fact that he's a great white shark whose pals include a smart-aleck hermit crab named Hawthorne, an intellectual fish called Earnest, and a sensible sea turtle known as Fillmore. For more than a decade, the daily adventures of Sherman and his coral companions have delighted readers of Sherman's Lagoon across the globe. Now Sherman and his sea urchin buddies take us for another swim down memory lane with Surf's Up, bringing together Sherman's Lagoon strips from 1994 and 1995, many of which have never before been published in book form.This roll-back-the-clock collection picks up where the successful Greetings from Sherman's Lagoon collection left off, offering the strip's loyal longtime readers the opportunity to catch up on classic Sherman tales of yesteryear. Whether you are a faithful follower of the silly yet sophisticated strip or new to Sherman's underwater world, Surf's Up will be a book you can't put down. Once you've seen the world through the eyes of Sherman, you'll never look at marine life the same way again.

Download or read book Shackleton s Boat Journey written by Frank A. Worsley and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On August 1, 1914, on the eve of World War I, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his hand-picked crew embarked in HMS Endurance from London's West India Dock, for an expedition to the Antarctic. It was to turn into one of the most breathtaking survival stories of all time. Even as they coasted down the channel, Shackleton wired back to London to offer his ship to the war effort. The reply came from the First Lord of the Admiralty, one Winston Churchill: "Proceed." And proceed they did. When the Endurance was trapped and finally crushed to splinters by pack ice in late 1915, they drifted on an ice floe for five months, before getting to open sea and launching three tiny boats as far as the inhospitable, storm-lashed Elephant Island. They drank seal oil and ate baby albatross (delicious, apparently). From there Shackelton himself and seven others - the author among them - went on, in a 22-foot open boat, for an unbelievable 800 miles, through the Antarctic seas in winter, to South Georgia and rescue. It is an extraordinary story of courage and even good-humour among men who must have felt certain, secretly, that they were going to die. Worsley's account, first published in 1940, captures that bulldog spirit exactly: uncomplaining, tough, competent, modest and deeply loyal. It's gripping, and strangely moving.
Download or read book South written by Ernest Henry Shackleton Sir and published by Voyageur Press. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1914, the polar explorer Ernest Shackleton announced an ambitious plan to lead the first trek across Antarctica via the South Pole. The expedition would prove fraught with adventure—and peril. South is the remarkable tale of the ill-fated expedition, told in Shackleton's own words—breathtakingly illustrated in this unique edition with photography from the expedition, modern images of the Antarctic, and newly discovered photos from the Ross Sea Party. This handsome edition, first published in 2016, is presented in paperback to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the original publication and features images by expedition photographer Frank Hurley, modern color photography of the fauna and vistas the men encountered, as well as long-lost photos taken by the expedition’s Ross Sea Party and discovered in 2013. The expedition’s story begins on the eve of World War I, when the ship Endurance departed England with Shackleton and his team of six men. The plan was to travel 1,800 miles across the icy continent from the Atlantic side, while a second team aboard the Aurora, would reach Antarctica’s Pacific side and lay out supply depots for the advancing team. As the Endurance approached the continent, however, it became hopelessly locked in an ice floe, beginning a series of harrowing travails. Today considered an adventure survival classic, South is the true story of a thrilling polar expedition. Never before has Shackleton's lively prose been so extensively and stunningly illustrated.
