How To Teach English Literature

Environments, landscapes, and ecological systems are often seen as fundamental by archaeologists, but how they relate to society is understood in very different ways. The chapters in this book take environment, culture, and technology together. All have been the focus of much attention; often one or other has been seen as the starting point for analysis, but this volume argues that it is the study of the inter-relationships between these three factors that offers a way forward. The contributions to this book pick up different strands within the tangled web of intersections between environment, technology, and society, providing a series of case studies which explore facets of this common theme in different settings and circumstances and from different perspectives. As well as addressing themes of theoretical and methodological interest, these case studies draw on primary research dealing with time periods from the late Pleistocene glacial maximum to the very recent past, and involve societies of very different types. Running through all the contributions, however, is a concern with the archaeological record and the ways in which scales of observation and availability of evidence affect the development of questions and explanations. The diversity of the chapters in this volume demonstrates the inherent weakness in any attempt to prioritise environment, technology, or society. These three factors are all embedded in any human activity, as change in one will result in change in the others: social and technical changes alter relations with the environment–and indeed the environment itself—and as environmental change drives changes in society and technology. As this book shows, it is possible to consider the relationship between the three factors from different perspectives, but any attempt to consider one or even two in isolation will mean that valuable insights will be missed.

How To Not Drown: Awareness Saves Lives! Every day people around the world drown. Sometimes, prevention, awareness, and action can turn drownings into near-drownings! When practicing Water-Based Awareness, Super-Diligence, and prevention, lives can be saved. Plus, the life you save just may be your own! Jennifer Webb died twice in one night while drowning, before before saved and resuscitated back to life. Had the author known about Rip Tides (Rip Currants) and to swim parallel to the shore until the waves started taking her to the beach, she may have been able to make it to shore before she died and had to be into shore for resuscitation. But she did not know about Rip Tides... So, now she shares these lessons in the hope at least one wonderful life can be saved! An Excerpt: Chapter 4 Secondary & Dry Drownings Some of the side effects from a near-drowning or drowning and resuscitation are called Secondary and/or Dry Drowning. This condition can consist of physical instability and illness immediately after rescue, or sometimes hours, and even days after being out of the water. The effects of secondary and/or dry drowning is lethal and unfortunately many die from these dry-land conditions after having lived though drowning in the water. The body begins to digress, involuntarily, after being rescued from drowning, whether it was by circumstances, miracles, or direct interventions. Secondary drowning is the name given to this process that happens to those who live through drowning, only to later get physically ill, and even possibly die from complications relating to the first drowning. Dry drowning is sometimes called secondary drowning and can also occur between one and seventy-two hours after the first near-drowning. This condition can occur even after only one moment of panicking in the water! A person's body can still die from this condition within moments of being pulled out of a near-drowning and for those who swim out of the water on their own. The time frame for the dangerous effects of Secondary and Dry Drowning go all the way up to three days and sometimes up to seven days or longer! Many persons who have been rescued from drowning go to sleep, but do not awaken. This usually happens after someone is pulled from the water or made it to safety on their own. I had all the symptoms of secondary and/or dry drowning of which I knew nothing about at the time. I did know to go to the hospital, because I was very aware that I was dying again even though it had been some hours since my rescue and resuscitation. The common symptoms include breathing difficulties, chest pain, coughing, fatigue and behavioral changes. If you notice this, get the person to the emergency room as soon as possible. Drowning can happen to anyone. Children are particularly vulnerable to secondary drowning because they don't have the means of communicating their illness. Children under five are in the most danger and need extra attention after playing in any water. If someone almost drowns, no matter their age or ability, they need to be watched and monitored by someone who knows their usual behaviors, to decide if there are any changes in their physical and mental, usual demeanor. If you go swimming alone, let someone know the time frame in which you will be gone. Ensure that you let that person know if anything happens while swimming and ask them to check in or stop by if you feel that there are any changes. Be ready for the possibility of an emergency room visit, if you do reach that point. Water-Based Safety and Awareness Saves Lives!

Metacognition is one of the most highly effective but under-used teaching strategies in all of education. Over-complicated by some, over-simplified by others and misunderstood by many, this area of theory and practice is in need of a fresh look. The Metacognition Handbook provides a clear, practical guide for teachers and school leaders to embed metacognition into classroom practice and school culture to enhance student outcomes. Looking at classroom pedagogy, teacher CPD, transition, and more, The Metacognition Handbook argues a case for evidence informed application of simple but effective ways to boost student independence, self-regulation, self-efficacy and motivation.
