Download or read book Lost Stolen Or Shredded written by Rick Gekoski and published by Profile Books(GB). This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Sherlock Holmes's dog in the night time, sometimes the true significance of things lies in their absence. Rick Gekoski tells the very human stories that lie behind some of the greatest losses to artistic culture - and addresses the questions such disappearances raise. Some of the items are stolen (the Mona Lisa), some destroyed (like Philip Larkin's diaries, shredded, then burnt, on his dying request) and some were lost before they even existed, like the career of the brilliant art deco architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, which foundered amid a lack of cash - but behind all of them lies an often surprising story which reveals a lot about what art means to us. Gekoski explores in depth the greater questions these tremendous losses raise - such as the rights artists and authors have over their own work, the importance of the search for perfection in creativity, and what motivated people to queue to see the empty space where the Mona Lisa once hung in the Louvre.

From debut author Courtney Ellis comes a captivating novel about finding the courage to heal after the ravages of war. Alberta Preston accepts the commission of a lifetime when she receives an invitation from the Earl of Wakeford to spend a summer painting at His Lordship's country home, Castle Braemore. Bertie imagines her residence at the prodigious estate will finally enable her to embark on a professional career and prove her worth as an artist, regardless of her gender. Upon her arrival, however, Bertie finds the opulent Braemore and its inhabitants diminished by the Great War. The earl has been living in isolation since returning from the trenches, locked away in his rooms and hiding battle scars behind a prosthetic mask. While his younger siblings eagerly welcome Bertie into their world, she soon sees chips in that world's gilded facade. As she and the earl develop an unexpected bond, Bertie becomes deeply entangled in the pain and secrets she discovers hidden within Castle Braemore and the hearts of its residents. Threaded with hope, love, and loss, At Summer's End delivers a portrait of a noble family--and a world--changed forever by the war to end all wars.

Download or read book Fun Size Academic Writing for Serious Learning written by Gretchen Bernabei and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes a student’s best teacher is another student Just as the pressure for students to perform well on state assessments escalates ever higher, and the call to raise students’ achievement in narrative, opinion/argument , and informative/explanatory writing grows louder, Gretchen Bernabei and Judi Reimer publish Fun-Size Academic Writing for Serious Learning. If ever there were a book to answer every need, this is it. You see, Gretchen and Judi have been concerned about adolescents’ writing for years, and they have had amazing success using mentor texts by students to teach the ins and outs of writing in any genre. So with this book, they "hand over their file drawers" and provide you with 101 essays written by students with one-page companion lessons that address text structure, imagery, dialogue, rhetorical devices, grammatical structures, textual blends--all the different tools that writers use. Organized into three major sections that align with the Common Core, STAAR, and other major state assessments, Fun-Size Academic Writing delivers succinct, powerhouse instruction on topics such as: • How to choose a structure for argument, informational, or narrative writing • How to read a piece and extract thesis statement and main points • How to layer a wide range of details to support points • How to use rhetorical devices and grammatical constructions for effect • How to write from the point of view of a fictional character The essays—also available in reproducible form on the companion website--demonstrate something striking, something imitable, something concrete. They give students a bank of choices to call upon as they write. The lessons are short, practical, and full of variety. Collectively, these essays and lessons have the potential to move the needle on American students’ writing achievement once and for all. They show what has been done by students—and they reveal to you how your own students can do it, too.
Download or read book Who Said the Mechanics of Essay Writing Can t Be Fun written by Francis A. Andrew and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is essentially a sequel to Francis A. Andrew’s earlier book, “Who Said English Grammar Was Boring?” The “sequel” begins by devoting a few chapters to some grammar points and continues with explanations and examples of twenty three essay types. As well as example essays, each unit provides reading passages which are unrelated to the essay type. The reason for this is to encourage students to read widely and thus to see reading and writing as interconnected and inter-related skills.
