Download or read book The Magical Teachers of Harry Potter written by Danielle Dickie and published by Teachistry. This book was released on 2020-06 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey through every Hogwarts professor's teaching style. - Can a werewolf teach effective lessons about monsters? - Will prophecies of death put a damper on your class environment? - Can a wizarding celebrity learn to put his students before himself? - Is the Dark Lord on the back of your head technically your co-teacher? Education books are often filled with stories of success, charity and perfection. But they fail to capture the true nature of teaching-it's messy. In The Magical Teachers of Harry Potter, you'll take a journey through every Hogwarts professor's teaching style and compare their experiences with the successes and-more importantly-the failures teachers experience inside a muggle classroom. This is where analyzing fictional characters gives a distinct advantage. Inside these pages are lessons from teachers you won't find in any other education book, including a half-giant who is too insecure to share his passion for magical creatures, a ghost who puts students to sleep, a Death Eater who gives surprisingly great career advice and a toad-like woman who abuses her students. What better way to grow as a teacher than to learn from these familiar professors' strengths and weaknesses? But this book is not just for educators. Any Harry Potter fan can appreciate reading more about the Hogwarts teachers who have already taught us so much. Harry's professors show us there isn't just one spell you can cast to become a perfect teacher-every day muggle teachers of all kinds bring true magic into their classrooms.

Download or read book The Engineer of 2020 written by National Academy of Engineering and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-05-14 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To enhance the nation's economic productivity and improve the quality of life worldwide, engineering education in the United States must anticipate and adapt to the dramatic changes of engineering practice. The Engineer of 2020 urges the engineering profession to recognize what engineers can build for the future through a wide range of leadership roles in industry, government, and academia-not just through technical jobs. Engineering schools should attract the best and brightest students and be open to new teaching and training approaches. With the appropriate education and training, the engineer of the future will be called upon to become a leader not only in business but also in nonprofit and government sectors. The book finds that the next several decades will offer more opportunities for engineers, with exciting possibilities expected from nanotechnology, information technology, and bioengineering. Other engineering applications, such as transgenic food, technologies that affect personal privacy, and nuclear technologies, raise complex social and ethical challenges. Future engineers must be prepared to help the public consider and resolve these dilemmas along with challenges that will arise from new global competition, requiring thoughtful and concerted action if engineering in the United States is to retain its vibrancy and strength.

Download or read book Allies at Dieppe written by Will Fowler and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-20 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the context of the Dieppe raid as a whole, Will Fowler studies the contribution of No. 4 Commando and Operation Cauldron. In August 1942, the Allies launched a raid against the German-held port of Dieppe on the French channel coast. It was largely a disaster, with the Canadian forces bearing the brunt of the catastrophe. However, it wasn't all a failure, and history has tended to overlook the role of 4 Commando, who, along with their US Ranger counter-parts, landed and successfully disabled the German guns threatening the rest of the landings. Their actions proved an excellent demonstration of the military adage “train hard, fight easy” and showed the advantage of proper operational planning and brilliant leadership. This controversial raid also included members of the Free French and it was the first time US land forces engaged the Germans on mainland Europe. Allies at Dieppe evaluates how and why they achieved their objectives in this daring Commando raid of World War II.

Download or read book Photo Brut written by Bruno Decharme and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking volume on a boundary-stretching art form tackles unconventional approaches to photography and gives voice to forty marginalized and provocative artists from around the world. Photo Brut--a genre of Art Brut, or outsider art--spans photography, prints, photomontage, collage, and other combinations of media and techniques. This art form allows those living on the fringes of society to voice their unique perception of the world, offering unconventional approaches to issues of sexuality, identity, and reality. This visceral and intimate selection of 520 works offers profound insight into the realm of outsider art. Works focusing on private affairs address questions of sexuality, perversion, the femme fatale icon, the Madonna, and innocence. In other works, artists attempt to reappropriate and tame the world, bringing issues of modern society into sharp focus. Some artists use performance, role play, and blurred/fluid/plural identities as a mode of self-expression. Lastly, practices and rituals using pseudoscientific or magical explanations allow some artists to confront apparitions and terrifying truths, to understand mysterious forces, and to create order. This authoritative first book dedicated to the previously unpublished field is an important contribution to the history of art.
