Book excerpt: **Winner of the 2021 Montana Book Award** **Winner of the 2021 New Mexico-Arizona General Nonfiction Book Award** **Finalist for the Spur Award for Best Contemporary Nonfiction** **A New York Times Editors' Choice Pick** "A heart-stomping, heart-stopping read. Unsentimental. Unforgettable. Astonishing. Brothers on Three captures the roar of a community spirit powered by blood history, loyalty, and ferocious love." —Debra Magpie Earling, author of Perma Red From journalist Abe Streep, a story of coming-of-age on a reservation in the American West and a team uniting a community March 11, 2017, was a night to remember: in front of the hopeful eyes of thousands of friends, family members, and fans, the Arlee Warriors would finally bring the high school basketball state championship title home to the Flathead Indian Reservation. The game would become the stuff of legend, with the boys revered as local heroes. The team’s place in Montana history was now cemented, but for starters Will Mesteth, Jr. and Phillip Malatare, life would keep moving on—senior year was just beginning. In Brothers on Three, we follow Phil and Will, along with their teammates, coaches, and families, as they balance the pressures of adolescence, shoulder the dreams of their community, and chart their own individual courses for the future. Brothers on Three is not simply a story about high school basketball, state championships, and a winning team. It is a book about community, and it is about boys on the cusp of adulthood finding their way through the intersecting worlds they inhabit and forging their own paths to personhood.

This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Never again will I doubt myself, mentally regain my thoughts, ...Never again will I forget, ... Never again will I rage, and hopefully turn the page, into the chapter of reality." -RM, 2014 When we were asked to introduce ourselves, we asked around, and what we realized is that we cannot be summed up. We are a generation of individual voices. We are one, yes, but we are many, and we each come with our own stories. We are heroes, yes; survivors, yes; dreamers, yes; speaking, yes; but we have each become these things, learned these stories we tell from our own paths. While these paths may have intersected at some point in 2014 and these stories have intertwined into one autobiography, we are a group that has come from the corners of this continent, and we will not stop speaking until we make it to the corners of the globe. This book is our autobiography. These are OUR VOICES and this is OUR GENERATION. We are STILL SURVIVING.

Download or read book Just Read It written by Jarred Amato and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2024-02-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read widely and read often - create a classroom environment where independent reading thrives Independent reading is more than just "drop everything and read" – it is a gateway to writing, critical thinking, discussion, and deeper learning. Author Jarred Amato, an accomplished middle and high school English teacher and founder of Project LIT Community, believes in the power of independent reading not only to turn around the reading attitudes of students but also to help them achieve huge gains in all areas of literacy, learning, and civic engagement. Many teachers have pushed aside independent reading in the time crunch to teach all the content and skills in the curriculum — or because of pressure to stay true to a traditional literary canon. Instead of looking at it as either/or, Just Read It shows teachers how to make independent reading "yes, and." Dr. Amato’s Read and WRAP (write, reflect, analyze, participate) framework helps teachers cultivate meaningful learning experiences with daily dedication of independent reading time, followed by writing, reflection, conversation, and community-building lessons and activities. With thoughtful, student-centered structures and strategies to sustain independent reading success, this book Provides detailed insights on transforming the principles of access, choice, time, and community into actions Shows how to support student interests and varied reading levels Offers ready-to-go activities to initiate Read and WRAP routines at the start of the school year, keep momentum going, and finish the year strong to ensure continued literacy growth Demonstrates how to leverage student feedback to fine-tune the Read and WRAP routines Discusses various options for incorporating independent and whole-class novels into the curriculum Offers a game plan to "level up" IR, including how to launch and lead a Project LIT chapter We live in a time when choosing what we read is critically important, and this book offers all the tools teachers need to guide students along the path to true literacy. Just Read It is perfect for anyone who believes in the power of books to change students’ lives and nurture a life-long love for reading.

Book excerpt: This book has been written by advocates about advocacy. Advocacy here is defined as speaking on behalf of other people – usually people that have injuries or needs so severe that they cannot resolve them alone. Advocates are skilled in the use of VOICE. They are trained in identifying problems and applying solutions. They “know what to say and how to say it” so that emergencies may be addressed and power (VOICE) is learned by the people that are helped. Through the work of advocacy, people in difficult situations learn more about helping themselves. The advocates that have agreed to make contributions to this book have learned or are learning to use their VOICE in the hard places of the world. The needs in these places like needs everywhere are mostly centered on health and safety concerns. Overriding health and safety is the need to have the power to act and so there are civil order and political issues that must be addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eight-month pregnant woman visits a gypsy fortune teller at a summer carnival in 1943. The fortune teller looks into the woman’s eyes and says the woman has a troubled soul. The gypsy also says that the woman has a “dark cloud” in her life that must be discarded if she and the baby in her womb are to have happy lives. The woman asks about the baby and is told that it is a boy and that the boy will be able to do something better than anyone else in the world. Five years later the gypsy offers a similar, but complementary prediction to another pregnant woman, and the stage is set for an epic battle between good and evil on the baseball diamond. The book focuses primarily on the development of Billy Diamond from a Little League sensation to a Major League relief pitching icon. Although Billy’s mother is successful initially in ridding herself of the dark cloud and makes a wonderful life for herself and Billy, the dark cloud remains a threat to their happiness. In the end, Billy must decide whether to comply with the nefarious demands of the dark cloud or use all of his magical assets to do what he does best on the baseball diamond…throw an incredible fastball. The future of his family hangs in the balance.

But it's not that easy to disappear. Just across the border in a city in Mexico lies the life Jane desperately wants to leave behind--a past filled with drugs and danger, information she never wanted, and a cartel boss who is watching her every move.
