The Doris Mortman Original You’ve Been Waiting For… Jenna Welles is trying to clear her head after a divorce she didn’t want and her name after being accused of a murder she didn’t commit. Her husband, Ace Fenton cheated on her. She tossed him out. In retaliation, Ace cleaned out their house, taking everything except the kitchen sink. But that wasn’t the worst part. The worst was when his lover was murdered and Jenna became a prime suspect.
Adding to Jenna’s woes is the escalating harassment of her mother, Rose. Though neither of them wants to think it, the Welles family had been harassed before with deadly results. Could it be that the past that had haunted them was now threatening them? The only good thing to happen to Jenna Welles is that fate introduces her to a really fantastic man, Samson McPhail. The bad thing is he’s the lead detective on Binkie Tobias’s murder. It’s his job to track down the evidence needed to put the guilty party in jail. He’s very good at his job, which means Jenna has to work quickly to find the real killer and prove Sam wrong about her. Even if she has to risk her own life to do it.
THE NEST is a story filled with hurtful betrayals and dangerous jealousies. The need for acceptance. And once in a while, the need for revenge. Set in the midst of a small country club, THE NEST is the first in a series of mysteries sure to appeal to fans of Liane Moriarty, as cliques are formed, gossip is spread, stories are exaggerated, secrets are revealed, daggers are drawn — and sometimes, murders are committed.

This comprehensive curriculum is efficiently designed to take just 60 minutes of class time per week and is aligned with the new Common Core State Standards Language Strand (L.1, L.2.). Get these essential resources:Diagnostic Grammar and Mechanics AssessmentsComprehensive whole-class diagnostic grammar and mechanics assessments provide the data to help teachers differentiate instruction. A grammar and mechanics recording matrix makes assessment data entry simple and progress monitoring efficient.Instructional ResourcesDirect Instruction: A full year of 64 Sentence Lifting lessons, formatted for your SMARTBoard or overhead/LCD projector. These scripted 15-minute lessons provide direct instruction in mechanics, spelling, and grammar skills. Lessons use mentor texts (student and literary examples), simple sentence diagramming, engaging grammar cartoons, sentence combining, error analysis, sentence manipulation, and sentence dictation activities. (Two 15-Minute Sessions, Twice per Week, for 30 Minutes Total Class Time)Individualized Instruction: 72 remedial grammar and mechanics worksheets, corresponding to each skill tested in the diagnostic assessments. Each worksheet includes definitions, examples, writing hints, and guided practice to help individual students learn the skills they did not master on the diagnostic assessments. Upon completion of each worksheet, students self-correct, take a brief formative assessment, and mini-conference with the teacher. (Two 15-Minute Sessions, Twice per Week, for 30 Minutes Total Class Time)Here is how teachers describe the Teaching Grammar and Mechanics curriculum:-Comprehensive: Everything students need to learn about grammar, usage, and mechanics is in this program: the parts of a sentence, the function of these parts (such as the parts of speech), the arrangement of words with the sentence, word choice, grammatical terminology and mechanics: capitalization, punctuation, conventional spelling rules. No other grammar textbook or workbook is needed to teach the L.1, L.2 standards.-Flexible: Each Sentence Lifting lesson provides both basic and advanced mechanics, spelling, and grammar skills. Teachers choose what to teach to their students, so the curriculum works well for upper elementary, middle, and high school students. Special education students and English-language learners thrive with the individualized worksheets.-User-friendly: Minimal teacher prep design with simple and clear procedures and instructional activities, suitable for the novice English teacher with little background in grammar as well as for the veteran English teacher. Tips and writing hints for the grammatically-challenged teacher are provided in the scripted lessons, as are all the answers.-Balanced and research-based: Teaching Grammar and Mechanics is a balanced curriculum; students learn all of the grammar and mechanics skills and rules in the context of authentic writing, not in isolation.-Effective:  Unlike other grammar opener programs, students retain the grammar and mechanics instruction and apply these skills in their own writing.No other grammar and mechanics curriculum matches the comprehensive resources of Teaching Grammar and Mechanics.
