Exceptional (Exceptional Series Book #1)

Exceptional (Exceptional Series Book #1) Review

"In the future, things are anything but ordinary..."

In 2022, the United States commissioned a group of scientists to experiment with genetic mutations. Their goal was to create a serum that would alter the human genetic code, making the subject stronger and faster. They succeeded but their victory was short lived. Not only had they created a super serum, but also an airborne virus. By 2025, seventy-five percent of the world's population had perished. The survivors, well their lives would never be the same.

175 A.V.

Ally is an Ordinary; a human immune to the virus. She lives in a settlement outside the City with her mother and twin brother, but lately it doesn't seem to be enough. She is wrestling between being with her family and volunteering to move to the City, where she can work for the Exceptionals.

Luke is an Exceptional; a superior human being. His ancestors were infected with the virus and lived through it, leaving their super human strength and special abilities to him. He has never given much thought to Ordinarys, despite pressure from his father to choose one from the ORC. But all of that changes when he meets Ally...

Dreamhackers Vol.1 (Comic Book Graphic Novel) (95 page) Review

The civilization has long ago settled in numerous worlds all over the Galaxy. Then the means of instant inter-galaxy communication that linked the worlds was invented.
This “Super-Internet” has penetrated even to the farthest worlds of the Galaxy.
It was first meant to store and transmit the information. But soon it appeared that even substances, including the living organisms, may be transferred through positron flows.
Since then, it ceased to be a mere “Super Internet” - a new info-world emerged with its inlets, trunk lines, information storage and substances – the PROTERRA world...

The Power of Picture Books in Teaching Math, Science, and Social Studies: Grades PreK-8

The Power of Picture Books in Teaching Math, Science, and Social Studies: Grades PreK-8 Review

This book's 50-plus lessons--each based on a different picture book or story--will help classroom teachers build a foundation for teaching math, science, and social studies concepts to students. Each lesson uses children's literature to make challenging, abstract concepts relevant to children's lives, inviting them to learn these concepts while responding to a story's illustrations, theme, characters, and plot. The lessons also demonstrate how teachers can use children's literature to meet national standards in math, science, and social studies.

Chapters 1 through 5 set the stage for using picture books, discussing the effective, imaginative integration of literature into the classroom. Teachers will learn to create an environment that ensures that when children and books come together, the experience is enjoyable and thought provoking. Chapters 6 through 9 provide individual lessons, by grade level, with detailed activities based on specific books.

Included in each lesson are a brief summary of the book; the mathematics, science, or social studies standards addressed; the objective of the lesson; applicable language arts experiences; key concepts; materials and procedures needed to teach the lesson; possible assessment activities; and a Making Connections section that lists related, useful books and websites.

The following are a few benefits of the lessons: Math lessons present math concepts in the context of real-life situations, encouraging students to think critically and to solve problems; science lessons focus on the process of doing science through inquiry; social studies lessons teach students about other cultures and diversity in our society; and the activities include language arts components such as eliciting students responses to literature in oral, written, or visual form and providing opportunities for vocabulary development.
