Описание: Annie Laird is Juror 224. A sculptor with a career going nowhere. A single mother struggling to raise a son. A good citizen who has been summoned to what looks like a rountine tour of civic duty. But the trial she is called to serve on is no ordinary trial. It is a mob trial, whose outcome has been meticulously orchestrated by a man of insidious power and deadly precision. A man who lives by the teachings of Lao Tsu...whose magnetism is irresistible...whose mind is as brilliant as it is twisted. He is know to some as the Teacher, and he's set his sights on Annie Laird. Pulled into the most chilling depths of the criminal underworld, Annie will be seduced by double-edged promises, stalked by the spector of terror, then, finally, driven to a shocking decision by the most basic motivation a woman can know. THE JUROR is a tour de force of crime and obsession, evil and innocence -- a story that taps into fears so primal they linger long after the last page has been read.

Описание:
Talk Box offers teachers tried and tested ways of developing children's talk skills, and provides inspiring lesson plans and fresh, curriculum-based activities which will help children to learn collaboratively through their talk with classmates. At the heart of the activities is the 'Talk Box' - a box of ever-changing interesting objects which provide a focus for class and group discussion.
Talk Box activities are based on these linked ideas:
Young children need their teachers to help them make sense of the world.
Talk is children's most effective medium for explaining, discussing and describing.
Children learn very well from one another when taught how to do so, and are a good resource for one another in the classroom.
Children may be able to talk but they are not often aware what sort of talk can help them to get the best from the education they are offered.
Straightforward teaching of essential talk skills and understanding should be undertaken in every primary school classroom.
By becoming articulate speakers, children develop their thinking and reasoning skills.
The activities included in this book are built around specific learning objectives for speaking and listening, and use talk contexts involving subjects such as literacy, numeracy, science, humanities, citizenship and IT. Each activity includes a resources list and suggestions for plenary discussions and extension activities. There are photocopiable worksheets and suggestions for further reading.
Talk Box will help you teach children to engage in the educationally effective kind of discussion known as Exploratory Talk, where everyone's viewpoint is considered, opinions are justified with reasons, and decisions are made together. This revised edition includes new activities, updated curriculum links, current classroom research findings, a home-school link section and a comprehensive introduction to the theory on which Talk for Learning is based.
