Daily Sentence Structures: 15 Minutes A Day Towards Better Writing!
by Alec LeesDaily Sentence Structures (2nd edition) has become a best seller amongst primary teachers. By the end of primary school, pupils are expected to be able to write using varied sentence structures. This practical guide provides a straightforward way of teaching pupils to use a range of sentence structures in their own writing, whatever their ability. The sentence structures taught vary from short, dramatic sentences to complex, compound sentences. Compound sentences using coordinating conjunctions are included as well as subordinating complex sentences using subordinating conjunctions. Each has been broken down into a series of 15-minute sessions that build on each other. By completing the daily sessions, pupils will have at their fingertips a system for creating imaginative and interesting writing in as little as six weeks. The Daily Sentence Structures approach raises attainment across all abilities and covers many of the writing requirements of the National Curriculum: • Use grammatical structures • Make meaning clear and create effect • Use a range of sentence starters to create specific effects • Use commas to mark phrases and clauses • Sustain and develop ideas logically • Vary sentence structures • Use semi-colons and dashes Furthermore, the systematic approach appeals especially to boys, who will enjoy applying the logic to their writing and being able to create ‘instant paragraphs’. All pupils’ confidence and self-esteem will increase, leading to better results across all subjects.

Daily Life through American History in Primary Documents [4 volumes]: [4 volumes]
by Randall M. Miller Theodore J. Zeman Francis J. Sicius Jolyon P. GirardWith this book, students, teachers, and general readers get a most important look at primary documents—essentially history's "first draft"—revealing rare insights into how American life in past eras really was, and also about how professional historians begin their work.Daily Life through American History in Primary Documents presents a large sweep of American history through the voices of the American people themselves. This multivolume work explores the daily lives of American people from colonial times to the present through primary documents that include diaries, letters, memoirs, speeches, sermons, pamphlets, and all manner of public and private writings from "the people." The emphasis is on the variety of people's experiences as they ordered and lived their daily lives. The cast includes Americans of every class and condition, men and women, parents and children, free and "unfree," native-born and immigrant. Hundreds of images further illustrate American life as it developed over more than four centuries and as Americans moved across a continent.Organized both chronologically and topically, this collection invites many uses by students, teachers, librarians, and anyone wanting to discover what counted in American lives at any one time and over time. Its focus on primary documents encourages readers of the volume to explore specific and critical events by taking a firsthand look at the actual documents from which those events draw historical meaning. The documents show Americans at work, at home, at play, in the public square, in places of worship, and on the move. As such, they perfectly complement the acclaimed Greenwood Encyclopedia of Daily Life in America and will enrich any American history, social science, and sociology classroom.
Daily Knowledge Valuation in Organizations: Traceability and Capitalization
by Nada Matta Hassan Atifi Guillaume DucellierOne of the major challenges for modern organizations is the management of individual and collective knowledge, which is at the root of specific practices designed to optimize knowledge acquisition, maintenance and application. There are, however, still a disproportionately low number of studies focused on the structure and nature of knowledge. This book tackles the subject of daily knowledge: the knowledge related to everyday tasks. How does this knowledge present itself in the mind? How do we acquire and preserve it? To answer these questions, the authors explore a number of techniques which help to keep track of information produced in collaborative activity and extract knowledge by aggregating these traces.
