Low-achieving math students are different than students who succeed at math. They need a different instructional approach to be successful. Jim Slosson’s practical, humorous mixture of theory and personal stories provides you the tools to help your students get ready for Algebra I. Loaded with real-life examples of Jim’s success strategies, the book provides you with practical tips on setting a class tone, delivering instruction, creating assignments, grading, and discipline. This book will help your students learn more math while you improve the quality of your professional life. Using success strategies, you can improve students’ math achievement by 2.5–3.0 grade levels, and you will go home earlier. Success strategies have been used in more than 150 classrooms in 50 separate districts from Western Washington to the Midwest. Jim’s chapter on discipline should be required reading for beginning teachers—maybe some veteran teachers too.
“Rose Killer Stalks Parade” “Violets are Blue; Roses are Dead” Former Los Angeles television reporter Lisa Edwards could imagine the news headlines if word got out that someone was killing people linked to Pasadena’s famed Rose Tournament and New Year’s Day parade. A frantic call from her old boss at the Global Broadcasting Network has Lisa—now working as a private investigator—back at the network overseeing security on the broadcast of the parade. With a worldwide audience, the parade in Pasadena is known for its flowered floats and rose theme—a theme the killer has borrowed…leaving one blood red rose with each victim. Joining forces with Pasadena Police Detective Frank Patterson, who becomes her reluctant “partner,” Lisa closes in on the Rose Killer, triggering painful memories from her past…and putting herself in danger.

Eightball strikes hard. Fueled by an abiding sense of loss, the eight stories in this collection take you on a journey across the exploded fault lines of intimacy, unfolding across cities and continents. Whether hitchhiking the Italian Veneto, trekking through a pitch-black Balinese rice field, or queuing for drinks in a crowded Seattle bar, Geoghegan sets her characters adrift in a world that stakes its claim to the enigmatic terrain of desire. This collection of darkly comic, occasionally violent tales is anchored by the eponymous "eightball," a coming of age novella about a sister and brother guided by the inertia of recklessness and self-destruction. A protÉgÉ of the late Lucia Berlin, Elizabeth Geoghegan writes lyric, place-driven prose laced with edgy realism and wry wit.
The Language and Style of Film Criticism brings together original essays from an international range of academics and film critics highlighting the achievements, complexities and potential of film criticism. In recent years, in contrast to the theoretical, historical and cultural study of film, film criticism has been relatively marginalised, especially within the academy. This book highlights the distinctiveness of film criticism and addresses ways in which it can take a more central place within the academy and develop in dynamic ways outside it. The Language and Style of Film Criticism is essential reading for academics, teachers, students and journalists who wish to understand and appreciate the language and style of film criticism.
