![]() ![]() ‘Format Matters’ – make sure that students are responding in a way that communicates the worthiness of their ideas. Why? Most students will initially give a ‘safe’ answer, so it’s important to stretch their thinking, with a more challenging question. ‘ Stretch it’ – the reward for a ‘correct’ answer, should be a harder question. Keep going with your questioning until their response meets your high expectations. ‘Right is Right’ – when students are responding to questions, don’t accept superficial or partially correct answers. The important thing is that they don’t get away with taking the easy way out. This might include reframing the question, giving a prompt to help them come up with the answer, or asking another student and getting the original student to repeat the correct answer back to you. ‘No Opt Out’ – rather than allowing students to get away with ‘ I don’t know’ as a response to a question, find a way to help them get it right and experience success.

![]() ![]() I wouldn't put in on the same footing as Santore's retelling, but it is still a very charming addition to any fairy-tale library. A little more abbreviated than the Santore edition (itself based on the nineteenth-century Mary Howitt translation), it nevertheless hits all the key points, and is sure to please all but the most die-hard of fans. This edition, illustrated by Katie Thamer Treherne, is a solid, engaging - though by no means brilliant - version, with appealing watercolor illustrations and a (mostly) faithful narrative. Certainly, it is one of the most adapted.As mentioned in my review of the Charles Santore version, this story has always held a certain fascination for me, despite the fact that it does not rank among my favorite fairy-tales. ![]() I suspect that it is the most well-known of the author's many beloved tales.

There is no story in twentieth-century history more important to understand than Hitler's rise to power and the collapse of civilization in Nazi Germany. The book reads briskly, covers all important areas-social and cultural-and succeeds in its aim of giving "voice to the people who lived through the years with which it deals." - Denver Post "The generalist reader, it should be emphasized, is well served. "The clearest and most gripping account I've read of German life before and during the rise of the Nazis." -A. ![]() ![]() In his novels and stories Hermans places his characters in a world of certainty for themselves but equivocal for the reader. In his essays on Wittgenstein, Hermans studied this problem in depth. Language is essential to create order out of chaos and plays an important role in this process. It is inevitable that all these experiences of reality will collide. It is Hermans’s belief that in order to survive people have to create their own reality. His caustic pieces were compiled in Mandarijnen op zwavelzuur (Mandarines in Sulphuric Acid, 1963), which was reprinted with additions a number of times. His polemic and provocative style led to a court case as early as 1952. He had already started writing and publishing in magazines at a young age. Before devoting his entire life to writing, Hermans had been teaching Physical Geography at the University of Groningen for many years. Willem Frederik Hermans is one of the greatest post-war Dutch authors. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
