Christmas Cookie Crumbs & Other Magical Stuff

How are a red coin, a clump of hair, a bubble light, and a cookie crumb alike? They can all be magical if Santa has any say in it. Listen to this heartwarming live retelling of finding the magic Christmas!"

What We Say and How We Say It Matter: Teacher Talk That Improves Student Learning and Behavior

"We all want our students to feel safe, collaborate well with others, feel ownership for their learning, and be joyfully engaged in their work. Nevertheless, many teachers end up using language patterns that undermine these goals. Do any of these scenarios sound familiar? - We want students to take responsibility for their learning, yet we use language that implies teacher ownership. - We want to build positive relationships with students, yet we use sarcasm when we get frustrated. - We want students to think learning is fun, yet we sometimes make comments that suggest the opposite. - We want students to exhibit good behavior because it’s the right thing to do, yet we rely on threats and bribes, which implies students don’t naturally want to be good. What teachers say to students - when they praise or discipline, give directions or ask questions, and introduce concepts or share stories - affects student learning and behavior. A slight change in intonation can also dramatically change how language feels for students. In What We Say and How We Say It Matter, Mike Anderson digs into the nuances of language in the classroom. This audiobook’s many examples will help teachers examine their language habits and intentionally improve their classroom practice so their language matches and supports their goals.

The Ticket Collector from Belarus: An Extraordinary True Story of Britain's Only War Crimes Trial

"'Brilliantly gripping' Sunday Times; 'Compelling' Daily Mail; 'Heart-rending' Sunday Telegraph; 'Excellent' The Times; 'Engrossing' Independent The UK's only war crimes trial took place in 1999 and had its origins in the horrors of the Holocaust, but only now in The Ticket Collector from Belarus? can the full story be told. The Ticket Collector from Belarus tells the remarkable story of two interwoven journeys. Ben-Zion Blustein and Andrei Sawoniuk were childhood friends in 1930s Domachevo, a holiday and health resort in what is now Belarus. During the events that followed the Nazi invasion in 1941, they became the bitterest of enemies. After the war, Ben-Zion made his way to Israel, and 'Andrusha the bastard' to England, where he found work as a British Rail ticket collector in London. They next confronted each other in the Old Bailey, over half a century later, where one was the principal prosecution witness, and the other charged with a fraction of the number of murders he was alleged to have committed. There was no physical evidence, just one man's word against another, leaving the jury with a series of agonising dilemmas: Could any witness statement be trusted so long after the event? Was Andrusha a brutal killer, a hapless pawn or a scapegoat? And were his furious protests a sign of guilt or the justified anger of an innocent old man? Mike Anderson was gripped by the story, and so began his quest to find the truth about this astonishing case and the people at its heart. As he discovered, it was even more remarkable than he could ever have imagined. "
