Some of the slides have students dragging fish into Venn Diagram bubbles based on characteristics, and other slides have the fish already in the bubbles so that the students need to figure out what rules have been used. To do this we created a Google Slides template. Seuss with technology! For the first day this week the book will be " One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish." As we thought about the book, we decided a fun related activity may be using a graphic organizer to sort fish based on their characteristics. I was more than happy to connect my love of Dr. In preparation for the week, they asked if I could help out with some technology ideas for some of the activities.

Soon Alice learns that while baked Alaska and meatloaf five ways may seem harmless, Nellie’s secrets may have been anything but. As Alice cooks her way through the past, she realizes that within the cookbook’s pages Nellie left clues about her life–including a mysterious series of unsent letters penned to her mother. But when she finds a vintage cookbook buried in a box in the old home’s basement, she becomes captivated by the cookbook’s previous owner–1950s housewife Nellie Murdoch. When Alice Hale leaves a career in publicity to become a writer and follows her husband to the New York suburbs, she is unaccustomed to filling her days alone in a big, empty house. As she discovers remarkable parallels between this woman’s life and her own, it causes her to question the foundation of her own relationship with her husband–and what it means to be a wife fighting for her place in a patriarchal society. In this captivating dual narrative novel, a modern-day woman finds inspiration in hidden notes left by her home’s previous owner, a quintessential 1950s housewife. The film rights for Larklight have been bought and a film is due out in 2013. One ordinary sort of morning they receive a correspondence informing them that a gentleman is on his way to visit, a Mr Webster. There are two sequels to Larklight, also by Reeve: Starcross and Mothstorm, that I expect I shall be picking up shortly. Arthur (Art) Mumby and his irritating sister Myrtle live with their father in the huge and rambling house, Larklight, travelling through space on a remote orbit far beyond the Moon. While scientific men are assumed to be the only ones capable of performing the “chemical wedding” that propels aetherships into space, Ssil performs it with ease – indeed, she is the only member of Jack’s crew who can do it. She has only the family she creates around her, but longs to know who she is. Ssil, one of Jack Havoc’s alien crew, has no idea where her origins lie, providing a sense of mystery and pathos. In an alternate Victorian England, young Arthur and his sister Myrtle, residents of Larklight, a floating house in one of Her Majestys outer space. At first glance, Myrtle appears solely as Art’s antagonist for Art but emerges as a strong, clever character – it’s interesting to see her character evolve. I appreciated Reeve’s strong male and female characters. Giant, mechanized spiders, steam-driven aetherships propelled by alchemic reactions, and an assault on Queen Victoria – what more could a kid possibly ask for? In addition to the nonstop action and wonderfully Victorian narrative, there is mech and steam aplenty for steampunk fans.

Going after what you want in life no matter the support if you believe in yourself success will always be the “fresh air” (5) to get a taste of a better life. To confirm that thought Tupac wrote, “Funny it seems but keeping it dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air” (5). In hope of pursuing their dreams and aspirations or furthering oneself in life. In the stanza the rose is continuously chasing their dreams and never giving up conveys the idea that success is always possible with ongoing determination. Ironically, the lack of care from his surrounding did not hinder growth but success was attainable despite the hardships. It is hard to stand strong with no support. “Without having feet” (4) there was no support or guidance through the tough situation. The concept can be proven wrong by one ability to push through and become successful “without having feet” (4) Meaning all things can be achieved on your own with hard work and dedication. Tupac is describing the life with barriers that prevent them from achieving dreams. On the second line of the poem Tupan writes, “Proving nature’s law is wrong”(3) disputing the laws of nature and referring to the struggle that most people face in poor neighborhoods and the negative mindset to not want to succeed to fullest of one’s ability. The title and the cover originally pulled me in and then I read the synopsis and I knew it was going to be a book I would enjoy. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Faking a relationship should be simple, but sometimes love is the most unexpected ingredient.įake it Till You Bake It is a sweet confection of a novel, the perfect story to curl up with and enjoy with a cupcake on the side. When a reporter mistakenly believes Jada and Donovan are an item, they realize they can use the misunderstanding to their advantage to help the struggling bakery and rehabilitate Jada’s image. When she comes home to lick her wounds, Jada finds herself working at San Diego’s newest cupcake bakery, Sugar Blitz, alongside the uptight owner and professional football player Donovan Dell. Jada Townsend-Matthews is the most reviled woman in America after turning down a proposal on a reality dating show. A reality star and a cupcake-baking football player pretend to be a couple in order to save his bakery in this sweet and sexy romance from Jamie Wesley, Fake It Till You Bake It. Among other things, it tells the twin stories of an unconventional Blackfoot family in Alberta, stubborn and loveable and quarrelsome, and of four mysterious figures who just may be the first men on earth, or perhaps the last survivors of those imprisoned at Fort Marion, Florida, following the Red River Wars. It is as difficult to summarize as life itself. This year marks the 20th anniversary of this delightful novel. Todd Babiak's new novel, Come Barbarians, will be published in September.Įsi Edugyan recommends Green Grass, Running Water, by Thomas King. The High Level Bridge, downtown taverns, urban forests, even the legislative building are places of mystery and sex and betrayal and heartbreak – as authentic as Saint Urbain Street. I was living in Montreal when I discovered The Studhorse Man, a wild and lusty novel that creates an Edmonton and an Alberta of the imagination. Edmonton has been a centre for trade and ceremony for at least 8,000 years. I once thought Alberta was too new to sustain fiction. She seems to have gone from one extreme to another, going from out of control to pretty boring.ĭex Foray, the "hero", is mostly just a douchebag. She is trying to prove herself responsible after having problems with drug use and mental health issues in her teen years. The heroine, Perry Palomino, is a young twenty-something that works a dead-end job and seems to lack much of a social life. Who knows? What I do know is that this one didn't work for me. Maybe this is related to my expectations for the author, based on her other works that I've loved. However, every book of hers that I've tried outside of those sub-genres has been a let down for me. I love many of her other books that fall in those sub-genres. I'm beginning to think that I need to stick to Karina Halle's dark romance/dark erotica. I just couldn't ever connect with the characters or the story. Unfortunately, this book ended up being a disappointment for me. I have had the Audible edition sitting on my shelf for months, if not years. I have been wanting to read this story for a long time. In What Moves the Dead Kingfisher is able to perfectly posit answers around Poe’s vague descriptions regarding Madeline’s illnesses and her brother Roderick’s motivations. Madeline sleepwalks and speaks in strange voices at night, and her brother Roderick is consumed with a mysterious malady of the nerves.Īided by a redoubtable British mycologist and a baffled American doctor, Alex must unravel the secret of the House of Usher before it consumes them all.Ī Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire. This is a studious and meticulous update to one of Poe’s most terrifying tales. What they find there is a nightmare of fungal growths and possessed wildlife, surrounding a dark, pulsing lake. When Alex Easton, a retired soldier, receives word that their childhood friend Madeline Usher is dying, they race to the ancestral home of the Ushers in the remote countryside of Ruritania. Kingfisher, the award-winning author of The Twisted Ones, comes What Moves the Dead, a gripping and atmospheric retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's classic "The Fall of the House of Usher." "Narrator Avi Roque delivers a perfectly paced performance in this concise audiobook.holding listeners hostage until the house reveals its terrifying secrets." - AudioFile Magazineįrom T.

Merik is in a world of emotional confusion and hurt in Windwitch after surviving an assassination attempt. He got so much more done as a corpse.”īy far my favorite part of Windwitch is any part that does not deal with the titular character, Merik. Merik Nihar, prince of Nubrevna and former admiral to the Nubrevnan navy, wished he’d considered dying a long time ago. “There were advantages to being a dead man. After my first read through of the series, I would’ve said Windwitch was my least favorite title, but upon my second read through, I found that I think it is a stronger title than its predecessor, Truthwitch due to the fact that this novel is not set at quite the same breakneck speed and thus, spends more time on character development. Since I read through half of The Witchlands series without stopping to review, I am finally rereading and reviewing these books before the impending release of the latest entries in the series, Witchshadow. Windwitch continues the tale begun in Truthwitch, with a focus on Merik-cunning privateer, prince, and windwitch. On a continent ruled by three empires, some are born with a "witchery," a magical skill that sets them apart from others.
