The Things We Shared In the Time We Had: A Letter To My Students - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

It is a big, vast, beautiful (and sometimes overwhelming) world out there and each year, Mr. McDonough has a chance to spend 10 months teaching 8th graders about the cultures of the world. He realizes, of course, that they won't remember EVERYTHING. Nevertheless, this book serves as a collection of all the "important things"--the wisdom and the knowledge--he hopes his students will carry with them after they leave his classroom. It is also an interactive book with opportunities to color, illustrate, answer questions about one's own relationship with the world. While they'll throw out many of their notes from the course, this book was written with the hope that they won't throw out a witty, simple, yet informative book that has been dedicated to them. As cosmopolitan global citizens of tomorrow, the wisdom from phrases and words that don't exist in English, as well as the World Cultures Alphabet contained in this book will inspire any reader to push deeper into their own understanding of--and relationship with--the world and those with whom we share it. [note: this book was edited by former students of Mr. McDonough]
