Download or read book A Landscape with Dragons written by Michael D. O'Brien and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Harry Potter series of books and movies are wildly popular. Many Christians see the books as largely if not entirely harmless. Others regard them as dangerous and misleading. In his book A Landscape with Dragons, Harry Potter critic Michael O'Brien examines contemporary children's literature and finds it spiritually and morally wanting. His analysis, written before the rise of the popular Potter books and films, anticipates many of the problems Harry Potter critics point to. A Landscape with Dragons is a controversial, yet thoughtful study of what millions of young people are reading and the possible impact such reading may have on them. In this study of the pagan invasion of children's culture, O'Brien, the father of six, describes his own coming to terms with the effect it has had on his family and on most families in Western society. His analysis of the degeneration of books, films, and videos for the young is incisive and detailed. Yet his approach is not simply critical, for he suggests a number of remedies, including several tools of discernment for parents and teachers in assessing the moral content and spiritual impact of this insidious revolution. In doing so, he points the way to rediscovery of time-tested sources, and to new developments in Christian culture. If you have ever wondered why a certain children's book or film made you feel uneasy, but you couldn't figure out why, this book is just what you need. This completely revised, much expanded second edition also includes a very substantial recommended reading list of over 1,000 books for kindergarten through highschool.
Download or read book Speech in the Elementary School written by Mardel Ogilvie and published by . This book was released on 1954 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author states that the three purposes of the book are to suggest ways to promote effective communication in the elementary-school classroom, to indicate the speaking activities that are part of the language-arts program, and to note the part the classroom teacher plays in improving the child's speech. Many speech activities are suggested, but the important place of poetry is stressed. Poetry is far too frequently omitted from classroom- activities, partially because of teachers' lack of security in handling it with children; the author's treatment of this subject should help to bolster the confidence of young teachers and encourage them in the use of poetry. A chart lists the aims of speech education and information about the growth of children in language, and should be a helpful guide. A practical book with many examples of actual classroom experiences and school activities, of children's problems related to speech, and of faulty co-operation in dealing with such problems. The major responsibility, of course, for speech training in the school lies with the classroom teacher.
