Diary of a Wimpy Kid Book #1 Teaching Guide
By Jeff Kinney Teaching guide Encourage self-expression, inspire student writing, spark critical thinking, explore writing in nontraditional formats, and much more. based on the first book in the #1 bestselling diary of a wimpy kid series by jeff kinney Includes: • Assessments • Teaching rationale • Student reproducible • Discussion questions • Writing prompts • Correlation to national and state standards Aligned with the Common Core State Standards and the NCTE/IRA English Language Arts Standards. DIARY OF A WIMPY KID®, WIMPY KID™, and the Greg Heffley design™ are trademarks of Wimpy Kid, Inc. All rights reserved. 1 About the Book This book is a journal—NOT a diary—belonging to Greg Heffley, a middle school student struggling to navigate among the morons, girls, and gorillas that fill his school. Greg figures he’s around the 52nd or 53rd most popular kid this year and soon to move up in the ranks. Though this middle school weakling works hard to figure out the angle that will always make things come out best for him, Greg’s schemes to gain popularity and status rarely seem to pay off. Especially when it comes to dealings with his best friend Rowley, who has Greg to thank for a broken hand and getting blamed for terrorizing a group of kindergartners. Throughout his journal, Greg shares all the misadventures of his middle school experience and his family life. From wrestling in gym with a weird classmate who shouts “Juice!” when he has to go to the bathroom to being chased by teenagers on Halloween (and losing all his candy when his father douses him with a trash can full of water) to the daily emptying of his little brother’s plastic potty, Greg acerbically chronicles his year, from the first awkward day of school to the last.

Board of Governors July 18, 2011 Minutes
National Press Club Board of Governors July 18, 2011 Minutes 1. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Theresa Werner at 6:33 p.m.. Present: Chairman Theresa Werner, President Mark Hamrick, Vice President Keith Hill, Club Secretary Joel Whitaker, Immediate Past President Alan Bjerga, Mike Soraghan, Mark Wojno, Rodrigo Valderrama, Ken Mellgren, Treasurer Myron Belkind, , Ed Barks, Shawn Bullard, John Hughes, Library President Richard Dunham. Absent: Membership Secretary Angela Greiling Keane, Vice Chairman John Donnelly, Patrick McGrath. Staff Present: General Manager William McCarren and Membership Director Melinda Cooke. 2. Approval of Minutes a. On July 12, prior to the board meeting, the board by e-mail vote approved without objection a request from Mike Soraghan that the June minutes be amended to reflect the following motion: I move that the board approve the recommendation of the judging panel for the Gingras humor writing award that Lore Sjoberg of Wired.com be awarded an honorable mention in the humor category. By way of discussion, Soraghan explained in his e-mail request: “Because of an omission, the honorable mention for the Gingras humor award was not formally in the list I presented to the board (at the June meeting). Since my motion was to accept the recommendations of the judging panels, except for two, it could be said that this has been approved. But, in an abundance of caution, I move that the board approve the recommendation of the judging panel for the Gingras humor writing award that Lore Sjoberg of Wired.com be awarded an honorable mention in the humor category.” b.

BRAILLE: DECODING the DOTS Dr
BRAILLE: DECODING THE DOTS Dr. Pamela Thomas, Bibliographic Project Coordinator, CMC, IHLS [email protected] March 18, 2021, Online with the CMC This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA 1 Today, I will be talking about cataloging braille books. I will answer your questions at the end of the presentation. 1 MARC fixed-field elements Specific MARC fields for braille books Examples of MARC records AGENDA Mattoon Public Library received between 400 and 450 braille books and asked the CMC to catalog them. I have cataloged approximately 160. These are the lessons that I have learned when cataloging braille books. This is not the only way to catalog braille books, but these are the fields that I have found should be included in a braille bibliographic record. Today, I will talk about the MARC fixed-field elements, specific MARC fields for braille books, and then I will show you some examples of MARC records. In the MARC record screenshots from OCLC, $a does not display as the first subfield of each field: “Subfield ǂa is implicit at the beginning of each field, and the subfield code does not display. However, subfield ǂa does display when it is preceded by another subfield”—OCLC Bibliographic Formats and Standards (BFAS), 2 https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/introduction.html I have found very few resources for formatting braille bibliographic records and there is not a lot of consistency in the records that I have found in OCLC or WorldCat. 2 FIXED-FIELD ELEMENTS Here is an example of the MARC fixed-field elements for a braille book.
