Nelson, Marilyn. A Wreath for Emmett Till.
The deeply historical aspect of this memorial to a teen who was lynched in 1955 makes this book only appropriate for students aged 14 through 18 years. The "wreath" is a cycle of 15 sonnets in a highly formalized style that makes readers reflect on the events while also calling attention to the events. This book would be useful in an American History course. A teacher can draw parallels between the way Emmett Till was mistreated and other forms of mistreatment that continue currently.
Pearson, Susan. Grimericks.
Grimericks is filled with ghoulish, gothic limericks about ghosts, skeletons, banshees, and the like. The poems are clever with an emphasis on the macabre. Use of this book can be especially useful around Halloween because it can still be used within the curriculum, but the themes of the poems would be fitting for the time of year. This book is for students aged six to nine years.
Prelutsky, Jack. Awful Ogre Running Wild.
Recommended for readers aged four to eight years, this book is about the awesomely gross Awful Ogre. The reader follows Awful Orge on a picnic, a...
An important lesson this book teaches is the importance of being comfortable with what you are doing. Although the reader may consider what the ogre does gross, the ogre himself is content.
Silverstein, Shel. Giving Tree
Giving Tree is the story of a young boy's relationship with a tree. The tree loves the boy very much and gives the boy whatever he needs. The tree gives the boy shade, apples, and branches to swing on. The tree even lets the boy cut it down so he can make a boat to sail on. When the boy returns to the tree stump as an old man, the stump gives him a place to rest.
Giving Tree can be incorporated into curriculum with a lesson on the value of giving. The appropriate age group is five through eight years of age. A useful illustration for this lesson would be an example of a marriage in which a wife and husband each sacrifice for each other to make each other happy.
Smith Jr., Charles R. Hoop Kings.
In this book, Charles R. Smith, Jr. uses rap-inspired word plan to describe 12 of the best professional basketball players in the NBA. He profiles the playing styles of Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kevin Garnett, just to name a few. This book can be useful for students aged 12 to 15 who like basketball. An illustration can be made that correlates success with hard work and reminds all students that it is nice to have talent, but nobody is really successful unless they work hard.
Basketball Psychological and Sociological Aspects of Basketball Basketball is not only a sport but a massive cultural institution, both in the United States and abroad. Over the past three decades, the sport has grown exponentially in global popularity, and the representation of basketball players as changed as well. As with any cultural institution of similar influence, it is clear that there are many psychological and sociological effects. Not only is basketball a
Basketball Game Coverage Sports If I were to imagine myself as a sports journalist covering a basketball game, I would want to provide coverage for games that take place during "March Madness," a term used to describe a competition among NCAA universities for champion standing. March Madness is an annual event that is as much of a sports tradition as it is a media and journalism tradition. Covering a game in NCAA March
Basketball, more than any sport played on a major scale in America, characterizes the plight of Blacks in their struggle to acquire equality as a race. Basketball has proven to be an area of society where Blacks have not only obtained equality but have managed to demonstrate a remarkable superiority. On the confines of a small competitive surface, Blacks have exhibited their talent, their creativity, and their physical energy. In his
Motor Development Coaching Girls Basketball Experiment The purpose of this experiment was to conduct a muscular fitness test to access the upper and lower body strength of female girls who are on the basketball team. Muscle strength can be thought of as the amount of force that an individual can exert in a single muscle contraction which can be accessed through circuit training. Muscle endurance is also a consideration and refers to
Scully and Noll dispute that the dispersion of victory could be calculated by evaluating the real performance of a group to the performance that would have happen if the group had the greatest degree of competitive equilibrium in the logic that all players were equivalent in playing potency. A smaller amount of the variation of real association performance and presentation from that of the model league however the better
Motivate N.B.A basketball players The game of basketball, primarily, involves the continuous struggle of the teams for about 45 minutes in defending their sides, while striking the ball at the demarcated floor, hanging on and throwing efficiently to the basket. The team success is intensified through reducing their faults and making the opponent team to commit errors. Contrary to the game of football, basketball seems to involve many such faults.
