You've probably heard the advice ""put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others."" This is true both in airplanes and in classrooms-you have to take care of yourself before you can help someone else. If teachers are stressed out and exhausted, how can they have the patience, positive energy, and enthusiasm to provide the best instruction for students? Author Mike Anderson asked that question as a teacher himself, and the answers he found form the basis of The Well-Balanced Teacher. He found that teachers need to take care of themselves in five key areas to keep themselves in shape to care for their students. In addition to paying proper attention to their basic needs for nutrition, hydration, sleep, exercise, and emotional and spiritual refreshment, teachers also need: Belonging: Teachers need to feel positive connections with other people, both in school and outside school. Significance: Teachers want to know that they make a positive difference through...

Six years ago Pope Benedict XVI stunned the world by resigning, the first Pope in 700 years to do so. What drove this arch-conservative to break with sacred tradition and cede the way for Cardinal Bergoglio - a one-time tango club bouncer, football-loving reformer with the common touch - to become Pope Francis, one of most powerful men on earth? In this fascinating, gripping and often funny story of two very different men, Pope Benedict and Cardinal Bergoglio grapple with their complex pasts and uncertain futures. From coming of age under dictatorships in Germany and Argentina, to the scandal of sexual abuse by the clergy, The Pope shines a light into one of the world's most secretive institutions. At its heart lies a timeless question: in moments of crisis, should we follow the rules or our conscience? Product details Format ...

En esta aventura, Tintín parte al centro de África, para realizar un reportaje. Allí le esperan peligrosas aventuras, pues sus enemigos le persiguen para matarle. Al volver Tintín de su viaje a Rusia relatado en Tintín en el país de los Soviets, Hergé recibe el encargo de hacer viajar a Tintín al Congo, entonces colonia de Bélgica. Este álbum es un documento excelente para ver cómo imaginaban los europeos de la época a África y a los africanos. La historia comenzó a publicarse el 5 de junio de 1930 en Le Petit Vingtième (Ver Biografía de Hergé). En 1946, Hergé redibujó totalmente el álbum para pasarlo a color y reducir sus 110 planchas de origen a las 62 páginas que tendrían los álbumes en lo sucesivo. En esta nueva versión a color introdujo numerosas modificaciones, suavizando un poco los tintes colonialistas. A pesar de ello, Tintín en el Congo cayó en desgracia a partir de los años 50, y se hizo bastante difícil de encontrar. Era el conflictivo momento de la descolonización, y el ál...

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 2,0, Freie Universität Berlin (FACHWISSENSCHAFT UND FACHDIDAKTIK DEUTSCH), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Was für ein Text muss das sein, dessen Autor jenes Buch als Bericht bezeichnet, und nicht als Roman oder Erzählung? Vielmehr sei es auch nur die Fortsetzung eines Berichtes, wie der Titel ohne Umschweife offeriert. Handlich zu lesende Abschnitte sollen es sein - einhundertzwei an der Zahl - die den Leser einladen sollen dann und wann dieses Buch zur Hand zu nehmen, darin an beliebiger Stelle zu blättern und - insofern er ein gutes Durchhaltevermögen besitzt - zu lesen.

Over the course of the last twenty years, Native American and Indigenous American literary studies has experienced a dramatic shift from a critical focus on identity and authenticity to the intellectual, cultural, political, historical, and tribal nation contexts from which these Indigenous literatures emerge. The Oxford Handbook of Indigenous American Literature reflects on these changes and provides a complete overview of the current state of the field. The Handbook's forty-three essays, organized into four sections, cover oral traditions, poetry, drama, non-fiction, fiction, and other forms of Indigenous American writing from the seventeenth through the twenty-first century. Part I attends to literary histories across a range of communities, providing, for example, analyses of Inuit, Chicana/o, Anishinaabe, and Metis literary practices. Part II draws on earlier disciplinary and historical contexts to focus on specific genres, as authors discuss Indigenous non-fiction, emergent ...

By one of Mexico's greatest contemporary writers, this investigation into state violence and mourning weaves together personal essay and literary theory, giving voice to the political experience of collective pain. Grieving is a hybrid collection of short crónicas, journalism, and personal essays on systemic violence in contemporary Mexico and along the US-Mexico border. Drawing together literary theory and historical analysis, she outlines how neoliberalism, corruption, and drug trafficking--culminating in the misnamed "war on drugs"--has shaped her country. Working from and against this political context, Cristina Rivera Garza posits that collective grief is an act of resistance against state violence, and that writing is a powerful mode of seeking social justice and embodying resilience. She states: "As we write, as we work with language--the humblest and most powerful force available to us--we activate the potential of words, phrases, sentences. Writing as we gri...

Noli Me Tangere is Latin for "touch me not." In this modern classic of Filipino literature, Jose Rizal exposes "matters . . . so delicate that they cannot be touched by anybody," unfolding an epic history of the Philippines that has made it that country's most influential political novel in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Jose Rizal, national hero of the Philippines, completed Noli Me Tangere in Spanish in 1887 while he was studying in Europe. Rizal continued to write, completing a second novel and many other poems and essays, until he was executed by firing squad in 1896. Since then, Noli Me Tangere has appeared in French, Chinese, German and Philippine languages. Two other English translations have made Noli Me Tangere accessible, but Lacson-Locsin's new translation offered here is the first to work from facsimile editions of the manuscripts and to restore significant sections of the original text. The result is the most authoritative and faithful...
