The book is based on a five-year study of computers for writing in actual school settings and presents what skilled teachers know about using computers to enhance the teaching of writing in the less than perfect conditions of ordinary clas7;rooms. The book describes classroom environments called "Writing Lands" where computers enhance a process approach to teaching writing and makes the point that what students do with any writing tool depends less on the power of the technology than on the power of the teacher. The book also shows how teachers in the vanguard are using computers to foster collaborative writing and teacher-student dialogue, and explains how these teachers cope with the knotty practical questions computers pose in the average school.

  • 2008 TRASH Regionals Round 10 Tossups 1. This Person Is Deemed
    2008 TRASH Regionals Round 10 Tossups 1. This person is deemed superior to both Francesca in the Guggenheim and a social psychology professor in Baskin- Robbins. She likes her Scotch aged eighteen years. Her name is Janine, although she doesn't want to be called that. She has been encountered in a car by the side of the road, in a tub, and on a pool table, with the latter fulfilling her paramour's prom night pact. John, played by John Cho, popularized the term "MILF" in describing, for ten points, what older woman played by Jennifer Coolidge, the lover of Finch in the American Pie movies? Answer: Stifler's Mom or Mrs. Stifler (accept Janine Stifler on early buzz) 2. His 1984 graphical text adventure, Amazon, sold 100,000 copies. A personal friend of Jasper Johns, he published an appreciation of his work, as well as a book on BASIC programming, Electronic Life. Hollywood work included the script for Extreme Close Up as well as directing Looker and Physical Evidence. His pen names included Michael Lange, a pun on the German word for "tall", and Jeffrey Hudson, the name of a 17th century dwarf, under which he wrote A Case of Need. For ten points, name this author of The Terminal Man, Congo, and State of Fear, who recently died of cancer at the age of 66. Answer: Michael Crichton 3. This show's second episode, "Birdcage," featured a cameo by Audrina Partridge from The Hills. The third, "Dosing," sees the staff's bonus checks held hostage to a feud between the general manager, Neal, and HR director Rhonda, which is defused when the owner's wife tries to seduce Neal.

They should not be considered promises or advice. Also, please keep in mind that the information and opinions cover the period through the date on the front of this report. Of course, the risks of investing in your fund are spelled out in the prospectus. Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance • Returns for the 12 months ended December 31, 2020, returns for the three Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Funds ranged from 2.43% for Investor Shares of Vanguard Mid-Cap Value Index Fund to 34.48% for Admiral Shares of Vanguard Mid-Cap Growth Index Fund. Vanguard Extended Market Index Fund, which includes both small- and mid-capitalization holdings, returned about 32%. Each fund closely tracked its target index. • The emergence of COVID-19 in early 2020 turned into a global health crisis, and aggressive attempts to contain it resulted in a sharp downturn in economic activity. Unemployment spiked, and sectors where social distancing isn't possible were hit hard. Stocks initially plummeted as infections surged, but they finished the year significantly higher, thanks in part to rapid and robust monetary and fiscal action by policymakers and the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines as the year drew to a close.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
