Sho And The Demons Of The Deep

An original pourquoi take to explain how kites came to be created.

First Published in 2000. Since before modern schooling, before literacy itself, stories have been told in every culture not only as a form of entertainment but also as a means of transmitting values from one generation to the next. Narrative story can be seen as one of the fundamental ways in which the human mind interprets and speculates upon the world and translates lived experience into conceptual understanding. Many good stories of whatever genre that do present themselves as vehicles to develop literacy, whether short stories, picture books, traditional tales, recent or classic novels, will very often present equally exciting possibilities for moral learning. This book seeks to help primary teachers use selected stories not only to develop literacy but also to plan for drama work that can harness the potential for social and moral education, itself an area under increasing attention from central government agencies.

This fascinating nonfiction book will allow elementary readers to discover the dangerous and strange creatures of the deep ocean. Readers come along on deep sea exploration to learn about marine animals they may have never heard of, including gulper eels, yeti crabs, and deep-sea lizardfish. With detailed stunning photos and images, informational text, a glossary of terms, and intriguing facts, children will be excited to learn about these unbelievable predators. This 6-Pack includes six copies of this title and a lesson plan.

(This is the regular edition of "The Demons in the Deep," with fade-to-black, closed-door scenes. For the full intimate scenes between the characters, try the Extended Edition of "The Demons in the Deep.") Mai sets sail with her cousin Kestra and Captain Flay on the Wind's Favor, but her excitement about seeing new lands is tinged with sadness. When the Wind's Favor makes port at the town governed by Flay's cruel father, Flay is forced to enter a competition against the other captains in his father's fleet. The contest is a savage battle that pits captured sea monsters against various races, including winged Sky-Born prisoners. If Flay does not score a top place in the contest, he will lose his ship and be forced to crew aboard one of his father's slaving vessels. When an old friend returns, Mai realizes her joy at his reappearance is tied to other emotions--things she has never felt for anyone before. But the ongoing competition puts Rake in danger, and risks Mai's goal of learning more about the mermaids' transformative technology. Trigger Warnings: Slavery of fantasy characters and creatures, sexual threat, cannibalism (mermaids eating humans), violence, abuse, PTSD, ableist & fatphobic language from villains

"Picturebook," spelled as a single word to identify its unique qualities and to differentiate the genre from other books with illustrations, is one that tells a story either in pictures alone or in almost equal partnership with text. The picturebook has great potential for bridging the differences among us; the concept of a story is one common to all, a shared experience that sets the stage for communication. And the goal of multiculturalism is to emphasize the positive attributes of human society, the outstanding, rather than the stereotype. Because children born today will interact with people from different cultures much more than previous generations, it is important that they are taught about other cultures, starting at a young age. Multicultural picturebooks are, therefore, an excellent teaching tool for meeting this educational challenge. The picturebooks profiled are appropriate for children in grades K - 4 but can be used with older children, depending on the curriculum and the students' comprehension level. Books covering Asia and the Pacific, The Middle East, Africa, South America, North America (Native Americas, Inuit, etc.), and books specific to the immigrant experience are profiled. Each book is described in one paragraph that includes an engaging review of the story line, special features of the content, the look and style of the artwork, interior design, and layout of the book. The authors emphasize that the visual qualities of picturebooks affect their ability to tell stories about people whose values and behaviors are different from those of the reader. The analyses, therefore, used in selecting the books include not only the informational content, but also the emotional content--the feelings generated by the text and art. In choosing books for this volume, the authors have used the following criteria: ]Does the book tell an engaging story?]Do the illustrations convincingly portray and represent humans, animals, and objects?]Is the use of the media consistent?]Do the text and the pi
