This book takes the position that vocabulary is integral to all oral and written communication and that teachers can nourish development of language and words. Vocabulary in the Elementary and Middle School is written with clear descriptions, passion for the subject matter, and appreciation for the role of classroom teachers. Pre-service and in-service teachers will find this book to be an invaluable resource because numerous explanations, examples, and classroom applications illustrate how to stimulate and expand vocabulary and language learning. Each of the 9 chapters focuses on different aspects of the study of words and offers research based analysis as well as the authors' thoughts about vocabulary and language. This is a real labor of love by an author with 40 years of experience as a teacher and teacher educator. For literacy and language arts teachers.

Stop High-Stakes Testing: An Appeal to America's Conscience

Stop High-Stakes Testing: An Appeal to America's Conscience is a compelling indictment of the use of high-stakes assessments with punitive consequences in our public schools. The authors trace the history of the policy and document the inequities for children of poverty that undergird high-stakes testing practices. Lack of dental and medical care, environmental violence, insufficient school funding, racism, and classism—all factors that contribute to this dire situation—are discussed in depth. The authors make a convincing case for discontinuing the unjust testing that has been forced on our nation's public school children.

Cliff Notes

This work covers the oral performing and dramatic literatures of China written over the four hundred year period from a.d. 1200 to 1600. It contains approximately 8,000 entries based on the reading notes and glosses found in various dictionaries, thesauruses, glossaries, and editions of works from that period. As late as 1981, no comprehensive dictionary or glossary for this literature existed in any language, Asian or Western. With this aid even a relative novice having a reasonable command of Chinese can read, translate, and appreciate this great body of literature with an ease undreamed of even two decades ago. Now retired, Dale R. Johnson was Professor of Chinese and chair of East Asian Studies, Oberlin College. He has published Yuan Music Drama: Studies in Prosody and Structure and A Complete Catalogue of Northern Arias in the Dramatic Style.
