Download or read book Memory Speaks written by Julie Sedivy and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From an award-winning writer and linguist, a scientific and personal meditation on the phenomenon of language loss and the possibility of renewal. As a child Julie Sedivy left Czechoslovakia for Canada, and English soon took over her life. By early adulthood she spoke Czech rarely and badly, and when her father died unexpectedly, she lost not only a beloved parent but also her firmest point of connection to her native language. As Sedivy realized, more is at stake here than the loss of language: there is also the loss of identity. Language is an important part of adaptation to a new culture, and immigrants everywhere face pressure to assimilate. Recognizing this tension, Sedivy set out to understand the science of language loss and the potential for renewal. In Memory Speaks, she takes on the psychological and social world of multilingualism, exploring the human brainÕs capacity to learnÑand forgetÑlanguages at various stages of life. But while studies of multilingual experience provide resources for the teaching and preservation of languages, Sedivy finds that the challenges facing multilingual people are largely political. Countering the widespread view that linguistic pluralism splinters loyalties and communities, Sedivy argues that the struggle to remain connected to an ancestral language and culture is a site of common ground, as people from all backgrounds can recognize the crucial role of language in forming a sense of self. Distinctive and timely, Memory Speaks combines a rich body of psychological research with a moving story at once personal and universally resonant. As citizens debate the merits of bilingual education, as the worldÕs less dominant languages are driven to extinction, and as many people confront the pain of language loss, this is badly needed wisdom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Taking care of yourself is not meant to be stressful. [This book] gives practical tips for implementing self-care in our busy lives.” —Allure Some days you need a pick-me-up, some days you need a life preserver. As Anna Borges explains, for most of us, self-care is a wide spectrum of decisions and actions that soothe and fortify us against all the shit we deal with. You may already practice some form of self-care, whether it’s taking an extra-long shower after a stressful day, splurging on a fancy dinner, or choosing Netflix over that friend-of-a-friend’s birthday party. But when life gets so overwhelming that you want to stay in bed, some more radical care is crucial to maintain your sanity. The More or Less Definitive Guide to Self-Care is here to help you exist in the world. Borges gathers over 200 tips, activities, and stories (from experts and everyday people alike) into an A-to-Z list—from asking for help to catching some Zzz’s. Make any day a little more OK with new skills in your self-care toolkit—and energy to show up for yourself.

We are living in an age when “hustle” and “grind” are part of our daily lives. While teachers are expected to stay on top of their lengthy to-do list, the demands on them are greater than ever. How can we provide the tools teachers and, by extension, their students need to declutter thoughts, manage time better, and remain focused and productive?

Filled with the author’s original illustrations, the book shares ideas and techniques for developing an effective, personalized system to improve productivity and address teacher burnout. The book can also help teachers help students — particularly those in older grades — prioritize and think through their thoughts, goals and actions to be more productive learners. Throughout the book, readers will be presented with challenges and prompts that will encourage them to write and reflect. The book: • Features beautiful full-color illustrations, including sample layouts, calendar ideas and more. • Includes access to online content available on the author’s companion website, such as journal and planner templates, additional tutorials, printables and how-to videos. • Helps teachers understand and meet their own goals, and learn metacognitive strategies for teaching students how to assess their habits and goals, and reflect on them. • Highlights a range of analog and digital tools, and shows how teachers and students can use them. With this book, readers will discover a fun, creative and popular approach to improve their productivity and focus, and strategies for passing these skills along to their students.

Download or read book Separated on the Paris Metro written by Cody Tolmasoff and published by Adventuring.in. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As she pounded on the door of the Metro to let her in, the train lurched forward and started to move. Running over to look through the window where her younger sister Zoe and cousin Thibault sat alone, she yelled, “go to Thibault’s house.” Watching helplessly, the train disappeared into the tunnel. Anna Dahlia, a middle school girl on a Paris family vacation, wanted to prove her independence and show how responsible she could be. She never thought it would be this tough. While traveling on the Paris Metro with her younger sister and cousin, her purse is stolen while boarding a connecting train. She is left without directions, phone, or wallet. No one is around to help. Will she avoid a panic attack? Where will she find help? Can she make her way? Will her sister and cousin manage on their own? This wasn’t the vacation she expected. ★★★★★ One story, written as two books, told from each sister’s perspective. In the first book, read the story from Anna Dahlia’s viewpoint. Continue with the second book to increase comprehension, add extra details, and story variations with the story seen from her sister Zoe’s point of view. Reading a book twice can dramatically increase reader comprehension. However, encouraging readers to read a story twice can be tough. Providing the same story from another character’s point of view, bringing a change in perspective, and some alternate storylines will excite readers to take a deeper dive into what they have just read.

After years of bickering, Penny and Tate have called a truce: they’ll play nice. They have to. Their mothers (life-long best friends) need them to be perfect, drama-free daughters when Penny’s mother becomes a living liver donor to Tate’s mom. Forced to live together as their moms recover, the girls’ truce is essential in keeping everything—their jobs, the house, the finances, the Moms’ healing—running smoothly. They’ve got to let this thing between them go. There’s one little hitch: Penny and Tate keep almost kissing. It’s just this confusing thing that keeps happening. You know, from time to time. For basically their entire teenaged existence. They’ve never talked about it. They’ve always ignored it in the aftermath. But now they’re living across the hall from each other. And some things—like their kisses—can’t be almosts forever. Told through the two girls’ present, and six moments from their past, this dynamic love story shows that sometimes the person you need the most has been there for you all along.
