The first ever critical biography of Helen Chadwick, who died tragically young but is now revered as a pioneering feminist artist. Helen Chadwick (1953-1996) embraced the sensuous aspects of the natural world, breaking taboos of the 'traditional' or 'beautiful'. Her sculpture, performance and photography is radical, provocative and often steeped in humour, and employs unusual, sometimes grotesque materials - bodily fluids, meat, flowers, chocolate and compost among them. She quickly became a leading figure amongst Britain's post-war avant-garde, becoming one of the first women to be nominated for the Turner Prize. A dedicated teacher, she mentored the majority of the Young British Artists and is now known as the 'mother of the YBAs'. She was also involved in the artistic community at Beck Road, Hackney, whose residents included Maureen Paley, Richard Deacon and Genesis P-Orridge. Although she was widely exhibited during her lifetime, attention to Chadwick's work declined following her unexpected death in 1996, and it is only relatively recently that the significance of her work has been acknowledged afresh. Coinciding with a major touring retrospective, this publication spans the breadth of her practice, from her renowned MA degree show In the Kitchen (1977) through to her seminal Piss Flowers (1991-2). Merging art and life, with a focus on Chadwick's interdisciplinary interests and engagement with education, music and politics, as well as an in-depth study of her art and ideas, the book is a fitting tribute to her vital impact on social and cultural history.

One night, her house catches on fire, and she and her parents and adopted brother, Danny, are forced to move into an old rundown house while their house is reconstructed. Heidi is separated from her only friends: her elderly neighbor, Violet and her niece Jenny. She has no clothes or possessions, and everyone at school stares at her like she's some kind of a freak. While in her new neighborhood, though, Heidi meets Dorothy, the girl next door who befriends her and takes Heidi on new adventures while at her temporary house. With Dorothy's friend Stacey sometimes along for the ride, they go trick-or-treating, take bus trips to the mall, babysit, celebrate Stacey's birthday, attend a school dance, and try to find out if a popular eighth grade boy may have a crush on Heidi. What starts as a tragedy turns out to be one of the best things that could ever happen to her.

This is a new release of the original 1946 edition.

Ten-year-old Mike Hascal loves all things horror. His family owns a horror-themed shop that his sister, Julie, inherited from their father who died when Mike was only two. Before his death, two teenage boys went into some nearby woods to capture an image of a ghost for a contest being held by the shop. One of the boys, Shawn Mackey, never made it out of the woods, causing Shawn's father, a teacher at Mike's school, to force the Hascal family to close the shop to the public and sell only to adult collectors. When Mike learns this, he and his friends, along with a new friend, Freddy Nickerman, spend the summer planning to search for Shawn's body in the woods. He does this not only to keep the shop from going out of business but also to earn his place as the future owner after Julie announces that she is having a baby. After Freddy's grandmother threatens to report the shop for letting her grandson hang out there, Julie bans Mike and his friends for the summer, making him even more determined to set things right. Once in the woods, Mike discovers a cave that leads to the answers he has been looking for, but will he and his friends make it out to tell their tale, or will the ghost of Shawn Mackey keep them from leaving too?

He who awaits much can expect little." - Gabriel Garcia Marquez-PROCRASTINATION AS A DEMON Procrastination is one of those time burglars that has eaten profound into our souls. A demon presence keeps on remaining close by and grins as you often lose potential open doors intended to rise above you to more noteworthy levels.One significant explanation why we procrastinate more frequently is on the grounds that we don't want to leave our comfort zone.Simply Imagine what is happening, you were given a vital task by your manager at work that you must finish in an hour but since the notifications of web-based entertainment applications on your cellphone, you chose to defer the turn out only for the prompt joy and charm of presumably your Instagram feed realizing completely well that such an activity could cost you your work. This occurs in pretty much every part of our lives - a standard that sets the way for disappointment.Nonetheless, what we neglect to perceive is that activities and habits compound extra time which consequently yields brings about extent to the idea of our habits. So on the off chance that you are the sort that delay at each seemingly insignificant detail, you will continuously become ineffective and this damages a ton. Apprehension about disappointment, muddled objectives, disruption is by all accounts the normal reasons that cause us to stall without any problem. "Procrastination is a grave where all opportunities are buried".

""What does being a hopeless romantic mean to you? To some, hopeless romantics are naïve people who shamelessly wear rose-tinted goggles and believe in an idealised version of romance, despite all evidence and experience to the contrary. To others, hopeless romantics are sentimental, sensitive folk who care deeply and love with passion and gusto.It certainly seems like the art of sentimentalism is becoming lost to the world. We are drowning in oceans of instant gratification and commercialism. Take a break from our reality for a little while and enjoy some short poems that relish what it means to be alive through the enjoyable and unpleasant.""

In October 2020, a friend convinced Laura to sign up for a Half Ironman-even though the sum of her knowledge of the event consisted of only knowing it was a swim, a bike, and a run. When she started, Laura had only seven months to go from 0 to 70.3 with a huge learning curve. This book follows Laura's journey from complete triathlon novice to completing her first Half Ironman and beyond, with all the mental and physical bumps and bruises along the way-and some truly hilarious moments.Laura wrote this book for anyone who thinks they can't achieve their loftiest goals. It is not for the elite athlete who has it all figured out. It is for the person who is unsure; who needs to believe in themselves and might finish with minutes to spare.

Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Didactics for the subject French - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 62, University of Birmingham, course: PGDipEd Secondary (QTS) French, language: English, abstract: Drama pedagogy is a highly promising approach to modern language teaching, which moves drama from its traditionally extra-curricular status to a key teaching and learning tool. Authentic communication is often mentioned as a goal of drama pedagogy; the teacher wants to create a context for speech that simulates actual communication rather than the isolated or contrived sentences and dialogue often found in textbooks.This paper aims to find out what effect the use of drama can have on learners' speaking confidence, spontaneity, and fluency. Different literature on the subject is consulted and several approaches are considered, such as a speed dating activity with no preparation to simulate an authentic conversation; a role-play scripted by the pupils; and a pair conversation, with ¿character cards¿ to give pupils an idea in English what they could say, and questions on the slide.These methods are implemented over three lessons with a class of 20 year ten pupils. Different tools to collect data were used for analysis, such as a questionnaire and observation notes from the class teacher, to answer the question, in how far the use of drama can be profitable in modern language teaching.The paper includes the used working material for French lessons and an evaluation.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Beziehungen und Familie, Note: 1,0, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Beschwerden über fehlendes Interesse an Technik und den daraus entstehenden Nachwuchsmangel bestimmen aktuell die mediale Debatte über technische Berufe und Fachkräftemangel. Hinzu kommt, dass der Frauenanteil bei MINT-Berufen bei 14% nicht-Akademiker und 17% Akademiker liegt. Sowohl der Staat, als auch die Wirtschaft rufen Aktionen und Einrichtungen ins Leben, die versuchen, dem entgegenzuwirken. In Passau wurde beispielsweise die Wissenswerkstatt Passau gegründet, in welcher Kinder und Jugendliche durch Versuche und Projekte Phänomene aus Naturwissenschaften und Technik erleben können und auch an Vorführungen, Vorträgen und Betriebsbesichtigungen teilnehmen können. Das Kursangebot richtet sich auch an Schulklassen. Sachunterrichtlich-technische Lernprozesse können somit in der Wissenswerkstatt Passau initiiert und unterstützt werden. Daher widme ich mich in meiner Seminararbeit dem Thema, ob die Wissenswerkstatt Passau dazu beitragen kann, das Interesse von Mädchen und Jungen für Technik zu fördern. Im ersten Teil meiner Arbeit werde ich untersuchen, was Interesse ist, welche Rolle es für das Lernen der Kinder spielt und inwiefern hierbei das Geschlecht eine Rolle spielt. Im Zweiten Teil meiner Arbeit werde ich anhand empirischer Untersuchungen, die ich in der Wissenswerkstatt Passau durchgeführt habe untersuchen, ob die Wissenswerkstatt Passau zur Förderung des Interesses beiträgt.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Schulwesen, Bildungs- u. Schulpolitik, Note: 1,0, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Bertelsmannstiftung hat eine Studie veröffentlicht, welche prognostiziert, im Jahr 2025 gäbe es statt der nun aktuell 11 Millionen Kindern und Jugendlichen im Alter von 6 bis 18 Jahre nur noch 9 Millionen. Dieser Rückgang der Zahlen der Schülerinnen und Schüler erfordert neue Überlegungen zur Gestaltung des Schulwesens. Aber neben demographischen Ursachen für die Entwicklung neuer Tendenzen im Schulbereich gibt es auch pädagogisch initiierte Änderungsmaßnahmen, welche die Schulentwicklung im Bereich der Jahrgangsmischung maßgeblich beeinflussen. Die folgende Seminararbeit widmet sich der Frage, welche neuen Schuleingangsformen initiiert wurden unter besonderer Betrachtung des Aspektes der Beweggründe für die Einführung der neuen Schuleingangsstufe. Zuerst werden die die grundlegenden Änderungen in der Schuleingangsdiagnostik thematisiert. In einen nächsten Schritt werden die spezifischen Merkmale der neuen Schuleingangsstufe vorgestellt, um sie fortlaufend mit denen der alten Schuleingangsstufe zu vergleichen, Gemeinsamkeiten herauszuarbeiten und Unterschiede festzustellen. Anhand der Gegenüberstellung werden nun noch speziell die Beweggründe und Legitimationsaspekte für die Einführung der neuen Schuleingangsstufe hinsichtlich der Jahrgangsmischung angeführt.

Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Romance Languages - General, University of Birmingham, course: PGDipEd Secondary (QTS) French, language: English, abstract: In this discussion, I evaluate my practice with regards to assessment and monitoring progress. I first consider the relevant literature and explore assessment of learning and assessment for learning, as well as suggestions for monitoring pupil progress. Assessment for learning (AfL) is defined by Driscoll, Macaro and Swarbrick as: ¿formative assessment and the practical implementation of this by teachers in classrooms¿. Assessment of learning (AoL), often referred to as summative assessment, ¿identifies the standard of attainment achieved at a particular moment in time¿. I then discuss my approach in my research design, followed by a critical evaluation of my progress so far, supported by my documentary evidence.As a key part of the teaching and learning process, assessment is a frequent focus in educational research, both generally and specifically in modern languages (ML). The Office for Standards in Education state that best practice includes ¿regular assessment of all four language skills¿, while the Department for Education (DfE) make no specific mention of assessment in the National Curriculum. This shows that there are multiple viewpoints on the importance of assessment and monitoring.

Case Study from the year 2017 in the subject Didactics - Common Didactics, Educational Objectives, Methods, grade: 68, University of Birmingham, course: PGDipEd Secondary (QTS) French, language: English, abstract: All teachers face the challenge of making sure every pupil has the same access to education by adapting their teaching to suit different needs, known as inclusion. Kyriacou defines inclusive teaching as organising teaching and learning to "cater for pupils with a broad range of abilities and needs". Gedge refers specifically to pupils with a special educational need or disability (SEND) when considering inclusion and, although the focus of this study is SEND, it is important to note that inclusion refers to all pupils. As Holmes said: "no learner is the same as any other". Inclusion is not the same as differentiation, which refers to the methods employed by a teacher to make the learning accessible to all (Kyriacou, 2014), although this term is still significant in relation to making teaching inclusive. This study aimed to find out how inclusion works in practice. I focused on Modern Language (ML) teaching and carried out a case study of two Year nine pupils with Asperger¿s Syndrome, a condition within the wider range of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), in an 11-19 mixed comprehensive. I looked at how changes to teaching and the classroom environment affected their learning over six one-hour lessons. I will consider views from a range of literature on the subject and use several methods of data collection to analyse the results and conclude whether the teaching had an impact. I will then explore these findings in relation to my future practice.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Didaktik für das Fach Deutsch - Deutsch als Zweitsprache, DaZ, Note: 1,0, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Deutsch als Zweitsprache ist aufgrund von gesellschaftlichen Veränderungsprozessen immer mehr in den Vordergrund der Diskussion über Schulentwicklung und Unterrichtsentwicklung im Fach Deutsch geraten. Der neue Lehrplan PLUS sieht Deutsch als Zweitsprache sogar als eigenes Fach neben dem Deutschunterricht an. Die bildungspolitische Relevanz dieses Thema lässt sich anhand verschiedener Statistiken und Forschungen ableiten. 60,9 Prozent der drei- bis sechsjährigen Kinder mit Migrationshintergrund sprächen in der Familie vorrangig nicht Deutsch.1 Dies bedeutet, dass diese Kinder diese wichtige Bildungsressource nicht in der Primärsozialisationsinstanz Familie erlernen und die Schule Fördermöglichkeiten zur Verfügung stellen muss. Es stellt sich nun die Frage, wie solche Fördermöglichkeiten konkret aussehen sollen. Die Seminararbeit beschäftigt sich mit diesem Thema. Die konkrete Forschungsfrage lautet nämlich: Gibt es Materialien aus der Montessori-Pädagogik, welche sich für den DaZ-Unterricht in der Grundschule eignen? Zu Beginn der Arbeit wird in einem Theorieteil darauf eingegangen, was unter der Montessori-Pädagogik zu verstehen ist und es wird das Unterrichtsfach DaZ beschrieben. Im Anschluss daran folgt der Praxisteil der Arbeit. Zunächst werden verschiedene Montessori-Materialien vorgestellt, welche sich für den DaZ-Unterricht in der Grundschule eignen; diese werden im Anschluss in den Lehrplan eingeordnet, didaktisch reflektiert und begründet. Zusammenfassend werden die Chancen und Grenzen der Idee erörtert und ein Fazit gezogen.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Sachunterricht, Heimatkunde, Note: 1,0, Universität Passau, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das Forschungsziel der vorliegenden Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, inwieweit es möglich ist, mit der kritisch-konstruktiven Didaktik Wolfgang Klafkis einen Unterrichtsentwurf über kritische Verbraucherbildung in der Schule zu erarbeiten und durchzuführen.Um das Forschungsziel zu erreichen, werden zunächst grundlegende Konzepte vorgestellt. Um einen Unterrichtsversuch realisieren zu können, bedarf es eines Didaktischen Konzeptes. Theoretischer Bezugspunkt der Arbeit ist die kritisch-konstruktive Didaktik Wolfgang Klafkis. Daher werden im Hauptteil zunächst die Grundzüge der kritisch-konstruktiven Didaktik Klafkis dargestellt. Im Fokus liegen hier die Didaktik, der Begriff der Allgemeinbildung und der Begriff der Werte. Im Anschluss daran wird ein Unterrichtsentwurf am Themenkomplex Mensch und Umwelt für die vierte Klasse skizziert und unterrichtspraktisch erprobt.

This book presents a critical history of the intersections between American environmental literature and ecological restoration policy and practice.

Awaken to Life in the Holy SpiritIn the Western church, our experience with the Holy Spirit ranges from untethered emotionalism to impersonal intellectualism-but He is neither untethered nor impersonal. The Holy Spirit is the trustworthy third person of the Trinity, and His power is essential to all life transformation and ministry fruitfulness. In Spirit Walk (Special Edition), Steve Smith lays out a biblical framework for understanding the Holy Spirit's work, knowing Him intimately, and being filled with His power to accomplish His purposes. The extraordinary power we see at work in Acts is still available to every believer today, whether you need a movement of God in your personal life or in your ministry. We need only believe what the word of God says and put it into practice!Spirit Walk: Study Guide is designed for either individual or small group use. In eight sessions of five days each, it guides you through the process of digesting biblical paradigms, surrendering to the Holy Spirit, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and cultivating an authentic relationship with Him. Along the way you will learn practices and rhythms for long-term spiritual growth. Become a doer of the Word as you engage in this study, and join believers who have gone before you to discover the biblical path of the Spirit Walk.
