McDougal Littell Literature Grade 6 Student Textbook

McDougal Littell Literature invites students to explore the world of art, literature, and life’s big questions. The unique organization around clusters of standards allows for the teaching of major literary concepts across genre. Standards that belong together are taught together.
 
 
 
Students analyze fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama, and media across clusters of standards. Special features support visual and media literacy, along with research strategies. 
 
 
Art in the program supports learning. A full-page of fine art or photography at the beginning of every selection builds background, sets cultural context, and supports literary study—without giving away the ending. Every level includes an entire unit devoted to research. A Research Strategies Workshop teaches major skills, such as creating research questions, selecting and evaluating sources, using the Internet, and notetaking. A Research Writing Workshop takes students through the research process, step by step.

Space in Languages Linguistic Systems And Cognitive Categories (Typological Studies in Language)

The studies reported above demonstrate the severe communication deficits that affect the spatial discourse of DAT patients. Their capacities to communicate are limited in many domains, but this is especially evident in the domain of space.
 
 
 
Language itself is not affected and no sign of aphasia was shown by the patients involved in our studies. This is an important point, in that it allows the scientist to obtain knowledge about the DAT patients’ spatial difficulties, complementing the many studies that have documented the severe deficits they experience in spatial orientation and navigation.
 
 
 
Access to memory representations seems to be the most severely damaged function for these patients. However, our data also point to some aspects of spatial cognition and communication that seem to be preserved to some extent.


Prototypical Transitivity (Typological Studies in Language)

The basic claim is that transitivity is iconic: a construction with two distinct, independent arguments is prototypically used to refer to an event with two distinct, independent participants.


From this principle, a unified account of the properties typically associated with transitivity can be derived, and an explanation for why these properties tend to correlate across languages can be given.

ICE Foreign Language Teachers And Intercultural Communication An International Investigation

Foreign Language Teachers and Intercultural Communication: An International Investigation reports on a study that focused on teachers' beliefs regarding intercultural competence teaching in foreign language education.


Its conclusions are based on data collected in a quantitative comparative study that comprises questionnaire answers received from teachers in seven countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Poland, Mexico, Greece, Spain and Sweden.


It not only creates new knowledge on the variability, and relative consistency, of today's foreign language teachers' views regarding intercultural competence teaching in a number of countries, but also gives us a picture that is both more concrete and more comprehensive than previously known.

A Typology of Purpose Clauses (Typological Studies in Language)

This book presents the first comprehensive typology of purpose clause constructions in the world's languages. Based on a stratified variety sample of 80 languages, it uncovers the unity and diversity of the morphosyntactic means by which purposive relations are coded, and discusses the status of purpose clauses in the syntactic and conceptual space of complex sentences.


Explanations for significantly recurrent coding patterns are couched in a usage-based approach to language structure, which pays due attention to the cognitive and communicative pressures on usage events involving purpose clauses, to frequency distributions of grammatical choices in corpora, and to the ways in which usage preferences conventionalize in pathways of diachronic change.


The book integrates diverse previous strands of research on purpose clauses with a thorough empirical analysis in its own right and thus reflects the current state-of-the-art of crosslinguistic research into this distinctive type of adverbial clause.

Real-Resumes for Teachers by Anne McKinney (Real-Resumes Series)

Real-Resumes for Teachers shows actual resumes and cover letters that helped real teachers, counselors, and administrators find new jobs and advance in their field.

By tradition, teaching professionals use either a one-page resume or a lengthier curriculum vitae (CV) when they seek new positions or advance in their field, and this book provides insight into the most effective formats for the popular one-page resume as well as the lengthier CV.

Real-Resumes for Teachers is designed to show the most effective formats which can be used by professionals in the teaching field to present their credentials and qualifications. The Table of Contents is designed to show individuals in varying roles in the teaching and education field. Resumes and CVs are shown of administrators, assistant principals, teachers in child care and social services environments, college teachers and professors, counselors and librarians, elementary school teachers, high school te! achers, as well as military science and ROTC instructors.

There are resumes of teachers embarking on a second career in teaching, and there is even a section focusing on teachers changing careers from teaching to a new field. Since all resumes and cover letters were used by actual people in real job campaigns, each resume and its companion cover letter shown is a picture of a successful job hunt, and the theory behind the book is that a picture is worth a thousand words. Real-Resumes Series editor Anne McKinney has handpicked these resumes and cover letters based on her 20 years of experience in working with teachers. Other titles in the series being released in the year 2000 are: Real-Resumes for Career Changers, Real-Resumes for Students, Real-Resumes for Sales, and Real Essays for College & Grad School.


Real-Resumes for Supply and Logistics Jobs by Anne McKinney (Real-Resumes Series)

Welcome to the Real-Resumes Series. The Real-Resumes Series is a series of books which have been developed based on the experiences of real job hunters and which target specialized fields or types of resumes.

As the editor of the series, I have carefully selected resumes and cover letters (with names and other key data disguised, of course) which have been used successfully in real job hunts. That’s what we mean by “Real- Resumes.” What you see in this book are real resumes and cover letters which helped real people get ahead in their careers.


The resumes and cover letters in this book are designed to be of most value to people already in a job hunt or contemplating a career change. If we could give you one word of advice about your career, here’s what we would say: Manage your career and don’t stumble from job to job in an incoherent pattern. Try to find work that interests you, and then identify prosperous industries which need work performed of the type you want to do. Learn early in your working life that a great resume and cover letter can blow doors open for you and help you maximize your salary.

Real-Resumes for Students by Anne McKinney (Real-Resumes Series)

This book shows actual resumes and cover letters that helped students launch a career after graduation from college, technical or professional school, or graduate school. Real-Resumes for Students is based on the philosophy that students have particular problems when they approach resume preparation and job hunting.

Students are usually seeking their first professional position and they must figure out how to present in a meaningful fashion work experience such as waitress, tutor, intern, student teacher, volunteer, residence hall counselor, and sorority president.

The Table of Contents is designed to present actual resumes of real individuals with varying degrees ranging from accounting and computer programming, to sports administration and veterinary technology. The theory behind the book is that a picture is worth a thousand words, and all resumes and cover letters shown in the book have been handpicked.

There are numerous resumes which illustrate how to show clinical rotations and internships on a resume, and the editor also gives insight into how to use volunteer work and achievements to maximum advantage. Real-Resumes Series editor Anne McKinney believes strongly that student resumes are the most creative (and the most difficult to write) because they must sell potential rather than experience.
