Patterns of Power Grades 9-12 Teaching Grammar Through Reading and Writing Traditional grammar instruction often focuses too much on what’s right or what’s wrong hiding the true power of conventions—the creation of meaning purpose and effect. Instead of hammering high school students with the mistakes they should avoid Jeff Anderson Travis Leech and Holly Durham suggest exploring grammar through the celebration of author’s purpose and craft. In Patterns of Power Grades 9-12: Teaching Grammar Through Reading and Writing they invite you to create an environment in which writers thrive while studying and appreciating the beauty effects and meaning of grammar. Inside this book teachers will find a comprehensive explanation of the brain-based Patterns of Power invitational process as well as: 35 standards-aligned lesson sets built around practical engaging inquiry-based methods that take deeper dives into grammar and craft than any worksheet quiz or editing exercise ever could A variety of high-interest model texts from authentic and diverse sources including excerpts from classic and current novels memoirs plays graphic novels poems and media Real-life classroom examples and tips with suggestions for scaffolding new learning and ideas for how to use the lessons in AP courses Templates for extended application easy to locate printables and ready-to-go visuals Additional Models for Further Study for extension opportunities in every lesson set An entire chapter devoted to helping high school writers master citations in research With hundreds of teach-tomorrow resources and implementation supports such as quick-reference guides specific applications to reading instruction and soundtrack suggestions to infuse the joy of music into grammar instruction Patterns of Power Grades 9-12 gives you everything you need to inspire your high school writers to move beyond limitation and into the endless possibilities of what they can do as writers. The Patterns of Power series also includes Patterns of Power Grades 6-8: Inviting Adolescent Writers into the Conventions of Language; Patterns of Power Grades 1-5: Inviting Young Writers into the Conventions of Language; Patterns of Wonder Grades PreK-1: Inviting Emergent Writers to Play with the Conventions of Language; and Patterns of Power en Español Grades 1-5: Inviting Bilingual Writers into the Conventions of Spanish. | Patterns of Power Grades 9-12 Teaching Grammar Through Reading and Writing GBP 56.99 1
Philippine Security in the Age of Terror National Regional and Global Challenges in the Post-9/11 World As the twelfth most populous nation the Philippines’ diverse religious and ethnic population makes it an ideal example of the changing tenet of what is deemed national security—post 9/11. Issues previously considered social or public are now viewed as security issues. Food production is now analyzed in the context of food security and environmental degradation is now a part of environmental security. This broadened perspective is not unique to the Philippines but—thanks to the island nation’s long struggle with issues of Muslim radicalism democracy and globalization—it serves as a model worth studying. And no one is better positioned to take on this study than Rommel C. Banlaoi Chairman and Executive Director of the Philippine Institute for Peace Violence and Terrorism Research. In Philippine Security in the Age of Terror: National Regional and Global Challenges in the Post-9/11 World Banlaoi illustrates the increasing complexity of the issues. Divided into three sections the book explores why a nation’s security can no longer be just about its military or only about what is happening within its borders. Section I reviews issues specific to the Philippine people including politics national identity globalization and local and military security. Section II moves to bilateral security issues to report on security interests and collaborations with the United States China and Australia—as well as with India Japan and Russia. Section III examines selected global regional and multilateral issues such as maritime security piracy and the ASEAN Regional Forum. The comprehensive approach and coverage within the book reflects the author’s diverse interests as a scholar of politics security terrorism and international relations. More importantly it documents an intellectual journey that national policymakers across the world need to consider if they hope to achieve the shift in thinking that will promote the well-being of the world’s populations as the strategic centerpiece of any war on terrorism. | Philippine Security in the Age of Terror National Regional and Global Challenges in the Post-9/11 World GBP 56.99 1

Creo Parametric 9.0 Tutorial The eleven lessons in this tutorial introduce you to the design capabilities of Creo Parametric 9. 0. The tutorial covers the major concepts and frequently used commands required to advance from a novice to an intermediate user level. Major topics include part and assembly creation and creation of engineering drawings. Also illustrated are the major functions that make Creo Parametric a parametric solid modeler. Although the commands are presented in a click-by-click manner an effort has been made in addition to showing/illustrating the command usage to explain why certain commands are being used and the relation of feature selection and construction to the overall part design philosophy. Simply knowing where commands can be found is only half the battle. As is pointed out numerous times in the text creating useful and effective models of parts and assemblies requires advance planning and forethought. Moreover since error recovery is an important skill considerable time is spent exploring the created models. In fact some errors are intentionally induced so that users will become comfortable with the debugging phase of model creation. At the end of each lesson is a short quiz reviewing the new topics covered in that chapter. Following the quiz are several simple exercise parts that can be created using new commands taught in that lesson. In addition to these an ongoing project throughout the book is also included. This project consists of several parts that are introduced with the early lessons and finally assembled at the end. Who this book is for This book has been written specifically with students in mind. Typically students enter their first CAD course with a broad range of abilities both in spatial visualization and computer skills. The approach taken here is meant to allow accessibility to persons of all levels. These lessons therefore were written for new users with no previous experience with CAD although some familiarity with computers is assumed. | Creo Parametric 9. 0 Tutorial GBP 66.00 1
