Lastly, and one of the reasons why I most value Hattie’s work, is the fact that he is a strong believer in student voice and his meta-analysis shows that an element of student control over learning has a high effect as long as that student control is over relevant choices, and not contrived choices that teacher gives to ultimately get what they want. This can help all educators understand what positive elements they should include in their classroom environment. There were other interventions that had a much larger effect.Īreas such as appropriate cues, time on task, peer tutoring, and effective feedback all have a large effect on student learning. In Hattie’s research he found that class size did not have a large effect on learning. One of the areas that is often seen as a barrier to learning, and one that Hattie does not believe is one, is class size. It’s not through a gut-feeling but through data that he makes his decisions. His meta-analysis provides insight, in a quantitative approach, to what works and what does not. Hattie’s work does not come without controversy. Hattie believes in looking through data to see what works and he has spent years looking at meta-analysis that includes the results of millions of studies. He doesn’t believe in quick fixes or silver bullets.

Elif Shafak is an award-winning British-Turkish novelist and the most widely read female author in Turkey. Jakob's narrative is a rich chronicle of intellectual hungers generously satisfied, as ``Athos's tales of geologists and explorers, cartographers and navigators'' stimulate his young disciple's active imagination-an imagination also possessed by vivid memories of Jakob's dead parents and sister Bella, who appear to him as both vocal and visible presences. The main narrator, Jakob Beer, who tells his story at age 60 in 1992, was a Polish survivor of the Holocaust who, after losing his entire family in 1939, was rescued by Antanasios Roussos, a middle-aged scholar and polymath, who took Jakob to safety and raised him on the Greek island of Zakynthos. A moving tale of survival becomes a grave and stately hymn to the revivifying qualities of language and learning in this impressive debut by a Canadian poet. Vogt, author of Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and a 2015 RITA® Finalist and a 20 Carol Award finalist The characters Lessman created in Isle of Hope confront their (in)ability to forgive – and as you fall in love with these characters, be prepared to question your beliefs about forgiveness.” Lessman’s novel has it all: lush details, dynamic characters, and a storyline that keeps you turning the pages. “In Isle of Hope, award-winning author Julie Lessman weaves a story of how past choices collide with future consequences. Denise Hunter, bestselling author of Falling Like Snowflakes Fans of Lessman will be absolutely delighted with this riveting tale!” Both emotionally captivating and spiritually challenging, this sweet southern love story deals with issues of forgiveness and restoration. “In Isle of Hope Lessman tells a poignant tale of first loves reunited and families reconciled. He sees a dark world that is growing darker, but he carries with him a light that refuses to go out. Reminiscent of Ray Bradbury and Richard Matheson, Dale Bailey mixes the macabre in with his melancholy, crafting stories that linger long after their reading. And it largely succeeds at both: its central characters are well-drawn, and its more uncanny aspects never overwhelm the emotional connections Bailey has established throughout the book. There is the Creature from the Black Lagoon, who is more human than any of those he meets in Hollywood Eleanor, who works at the End-of-the-World Cafe, and who sees the depravity and despair of the Pit every day, yet never gives up hope for her ailing child and young Tom, lost in a world scorched by the sun, who follows the rumor of angels still hanging on the wind. Bailey’s novel is both a resonant tale of literary obsession and a story of old myths rising violently to the surface of an otherwise rational world. His stories are filled with the vibrant sound of those hearts, always beating. As we rush headlong toward a "Choose Your Own Apocalypse" future, Bailey hangs back, refusing to let go of the indelible ferocity of the human heart. Dale Bailey's new collection, "The End of the End of Everything, " is filled with hope. With the moral support of his wife, Annie, he tears up part of their cornfield to build that baseball field. He was estranged from his father at the time of his death, something that he now regrets. Ray grew up with baseball, his long-deceased father, John, who played in the minor leagues, lived in Chicago during that infamous year, and told stories to Ray about it and Jackson when he was growing up. Although it was proved that Jackson did take money, it was never proved that he participated in throwing any of the games. Later, he has a vision that the "it" is a baseball field, the "he" is Shoeless Joe Jackson, who was infamous for his association in the Chicago 8, the eight players of the 1919 White Series who were banned for life from the sport for throwing games in exchange for money from gamblers. "If you build it, he will come," is what thirty-six-year-old novice farmer Ray Kinsella hears several times over the course of days from a bodiless voice emanating from somewhere in the cornfield on his Iowa farm. A daughter, Maria, was born to the couple two and a half years later when shown his infant sister, Albert took a look and said, “Yes, but where are the wheels?” Though this showed an investigative turn of mind, the boy was slow to talk, and the family maid dubbed him der Depperte-“the dopey one.”Īs the boy progressed through the schools of Munich, where his father had found employment in his brother Jakob’s gas-and-electrical-supply company, Albert’s teachers, though giving him generally high marks, noted his resistance to authority and Germanic discipline, even in its milder Bavarian form. When youthful and frisky, Albert Einstein would refer to himself as “the valiant Swabian,” quoting the poem by Ludwig Uhland: “But the valiant Swabian is not afraid.” Albert-the name Abraham had been considered by his unreligious parents but was rejected as “too Jewish”-was born in Ulm, in March of 1879, not long after Swabia joined the new German Reich he was the first child and only son of a mathematics-minded but financially inept father and a strong-willed, musically gifted woman of some inherited means. Einstein in his office in Berlin in the twenties. Haunted by visions of Hannah, and with knowledge of things she can't explain, Annie wonders if everyone is lying to her? With each passing day, Annie's remembered past and unfamiliar present begin to blur. Her long-estranged sister is more like a best friend, and her recently deceased dog is alive and well. Now a successful artist living in Manhattan, she's no longer home in their beloved upstate farmhouse. Five happy years of her life apparently never happened.Īnnie's marriage is coming to an end. In fact, nothing after waking from the crash is the same as Annie remembers. When she asks for her daughter, confused doctors tell Annie that Hannah never existed. It's a day like any other when she takes Hannah to the pediatrician-until she wakes hours later from a car accident. Synopsis: A beautiful house, a loving husband, and an adorable daughter, Annie Beyers has everything. MLA style: "A Day Like This." The Free Library. According to her publisher, it is Oates’ 61st novel, although no one seems certain, least of all Oates. The film adaptation of her 2000 novel Blonde, a fictionalised account of the life of Marilyn Monroe and “the most difficult novel” she has written, is to be released on Netflix next month, while Babysitter is unflinching in its detailing of sexual assault before the #MeToo era. She is 84, but her work remains exceptionally relevant. We are speaking before the publication of her novel Babysitter, inspired by a serial killer who murdered children in the 1970s in the suburbs of Detroit, where Oates lived at the time. She is friendly, but not in a way that makes her less forbidding. “She hopes we won’t interfere with her nap,” Oates says, in a voice that sounds mildly warning. She lets the camera linger on Zanche, who is amply provided for – she also has her own “catio” garden. We are speaking on video and Oates pans around the room – large, book-lined – to show me it. J oyce Carol Oates is on her feet in her study, looking out over woodland in rural Princeton, New Jersey, while her maine coon, Zanche, sprawls atop a swanky white cat tower.
