How to Enhance Your Students Experience With Literature
How to Enhance Your Student's Experience With Literature Many parents hope their students will read books easily and often. After all, reading is a necessary skill in every academic discipline! Unfortunately, some children simply do not enjoy this pastime. This is a common struggle, but its one that you can address. Before you surrender to your frustration, review the seven strategies below to enhance your students experience with literature. One (or more!) may be just what you need to spark your students interest. 1. Visit your local library Whether you prefer electronic or paper books, the library can serve as the perfect tool to enhance your students experience with literature. Locate your neighborhood library, and then set aside an hour or more to explore its shelves with your child. Young students will especially appreciate the opportunity to handle physical books. These tips can help you create a summer reading program for you and your child. 2. Offer choice Just as children love to dress and feed themselves, students may appreciate the freedom to select their own reading material. Your child knows his or her own interests best ask what book he or she would like to check out from the library or purchase from the bookstore. Ensure that your students choice is appropriate, but allow him or her to control the process. 3. Seek cultural touchstones Literature becomes particularly powerful when the reader identifies with the central character. It is of critical importance that children see themselves reflected in the pages of their books, so select titles that explore elements of your familys culture, race, religion, etc. The Internet is a wonderful tool for searching for such texts. 4. Read aloud A student is never too old to hear literature read aloud. This is an immensely pleasurable pastime, and for a child who struggles with reading, its a chance to reconnect with the joy of narrative. Older students, or children who are advanced readers, can also benefit from reading aloud to you or their siblings, or even the beloved family dog! 5. Incorporate socialization By nature, humans enjoy interacting with other humans. Suggest that your student join a book club or form one with his or her friends. Middle schoolers and high schoolers may also find that online platforms like Goodreads enhance their experience with literature. On Goodreads, individuals can write and post literature reviews, as well as converse with other readers. You can help your child work well in groups with these tips. 6. Experiment with theme activities If your child selects a book about a little girl who likes to bake pies, consider doing the same with your student. When you pair activities with the plot of a novel or short story, you effectively bring the narrative to life. Does this months book involve a garden? Design one on paper, and then plant it! 7. Set a positive example How often do you read? Do you do so where your child can see? Young students often emulate the habits of their parents or guardians, so try to set the correct example. To enhance your students experience with literature, share your favorite parts of reading with your student. Demonstrate that reading is enjoyable, and you may soon find that your child feels the same! You may also want to consider seeking a reading tutorfor your child!

Only a few SAT and ACT dates are left this spring! Now that March SAT scores have been released and preparation for the April ACT is complete, its time to think about a game plan for the rest of the academic year. The SAT and ACT are not offered over the summer, so its important to plan ahead and get in a full round of testing before the end of the school year.

Face Transplants Too Risky To Continue
Face Transplants Too Risky To Continue Photo Via: https://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/BN-PS134_facefr_G_20160906150745.jpg According to the Amiens University Hospital in northern France, Dinoire died this past April after a long battle with an illness they didnât specify, which left many to speculate as to whether or not the illness was caused by the transplant that took place over a decade ago. Part of the reason for the secrecy are the familyâs wishes, as they wanted this part of her life to be kept private. However, the hospital did go public with her death when Le Figaro reported on it. The initial face transplant was the result of an attack from Dinoireâs pet Labrador which left her âseverely disfigured.â The transplant gave her a new nose, chin and lips to fix the damage done by her dog. The operation was ground-breaking, to say the very least, and took a total of 15 hours. The two doctors that performed the surgery were Bernard Devauchelle and Jean-Michel Dubernard in the Amiens hospital. Of course, this wasnât a total success right off the bat, as her first public appearance following the surgery displayed a very visible scar and her speech was slurred. However, the fact that she was able to speak at all was a big step in the right direction. Plus, the attempt at a smile was visible during her interview with reporters as well, as she claimed she had a âface like everyone else.â The operation took place on November 27, 2005 and since then, there have been almost 40 face transplant surgeries around the world. In the U.S., there was one in New York last year that was the first to include more areas of the face including the scalp and eyelids (functioning). So to say the surgery was a big deal is an understatement. That being said, these 30 something people to follow Dinoire in their face transplant surgeries now have concerns regarding her death. If it is transplant related, itâs important to know what caused it and how to prevent it. So for many, this death means more than just another funeral. So what aspect of the surgery could cause such an illness? As with any transplant, thereâs always the possibility the body will reject the new organs. The same goes with face transplants. So to prevent this, medications are required for patients to take so their body doesnât reject these organs. The problem? Medications have certain severe side effects and trigger illnesses. Le Figaro newspaper, which initially reported Dinoireâs death on Tuesday, also stated that she suffered through two cancers that were linked to her transplant and she began to lose use of her lips last year. And there are also questions surrounding the initial incident that led to the transplant, as Dinoire was âwrestling with personal problemsâ when her dog attacked her and she âtook some drugs to forget,â so she was unconscious when the dog bit her. And while doctors warned her of the risks involved in such a transplant, she insisted on it due to her disfigurement. So while the surgery was without doubt a success, the long-term effects werenât quite so positive. According to Dr. Jean-Paul Meningaud, who wasnât involved in treating Dinoire, âThe results were very good in the medium term, but the long-term results were not so good.â Meningaud has been involved in seven out of 10 face transplants in France, and has switched his ways completely. Now, heâs arguing to suspend these procedures. In his opinion, the science behind such procedures isnât quite right, and doctors need to determine what the long-term benefits are and if itâs worth the risk. Thereâs a physical and psychological toll that these operations take on the patients, and according to him, we donât fully understand the extent quite yet. For many patients, anti-rejection medications arenât even working, so the procedure is oftentimes followed by several more follow-up surgeries. According to him, âItâs a rather high price to pay for the patient. Itâs time to mark a pause.â In the case of Dinoire, her immune system rejected the transplant two times. However, a year afterwards, she was gaining mobility and sensitivity and bought a new pet. According to Dinoire, âI can open my mouth and eat. I feel my lips, my nose and my mouth ⦠I have a face like everyone else. A door to the future is opening.â But was that door opened too soon? Only time will tell. (Cover photo via bbc.com)

Was Elizabeth Being Tutored by Any of Her Friends?
Was Elizabeth Being Tutored by Any of Her Friends?Was Elizabeth being tutored by any of her friends? Was she not receiving any form of formal schooling to teach her the English language or was she left on her own when it came to schooling? In fact did Queen Elizabeth receive tutoring for all those years as you stated and what did they give her?Perhaps you will want to remember that Queen Elizabeth and her family did receive plenty of tutoring at the expense of their father at his private English School. There were other places where she got tutoring like in Brussels during her youth and many more where the papal court heard the reports of her upbringing.Did Queen Elizabeth receive formal education that may have come from someone like Christopher Marlowe who wrote plays, an opera and had he published. He was an eminent writer, poet and astronomer. There is no doubt he had a direct influence on her who used his learning and knowledge to be a better person in life.To determine this clai m on the subject you must know the source of the education and the type of private school it came from. Was it gifted learning from a tutor to Queen Elizabeth and did she learn in a formal setting or was she left on her own when it came to learning or was she left in the classroom during a study period with other students?If you do a search on the internet you can find many pages of information and if you do a search on the internet you will come across sites that claim to have information about the claims about Queen Elizabeth being tutored. One website has more than 2,000 pages of reports and testimonials regarding the claims of this girl.Many of these websites have proof that people are claiming Queen Elizabeth was taught by one of her friends. When it comes to that you can ask yourself if they would make up something if there was no proof to back up their claims.Even if the rumor that the royal heirs have been left in the hands of their friends because of some desire to be indep endent or because they want to be cultured does not hold water then the fact that Queen Elizabeth was left to her own skills and knowledge should not be looked upon as a negative. It shows her mother and father would have done all they could to provide her the best education possible.
