The Magical Teachers of Harry Potter by Danielle Dickie Pdf

Journey through every Hogwarts professor's teaching style. - Can a werewolf teach effective lessons about monsters? - Will prophecies of death put a damper on your class environment? - Can a wizarding celebrity learn to put his students before himself? - Is the Dark Lord on the back of your head technically your co-teacher? Education books are often filled with stories of success, charity and perfection. But they fail to capture the true nature of teaching-it's messy. In The Magical Teachers of Harry Potter, you'll take a journey through every Hogwarts professor's teaching style and compare their experiences with the successes and-more importantly-the failures teachers experience inside a muggle classroom. This is where analyzing fictional characters gives a distinct advantage. Inside these pages are lessons from teachers you won't find in any other education book, including a half-giant who is too insecure to share his passion for magical creatures, a ghost who puts students to sleep, a Death Eater who gives surprisingly great career advice and a toad-like woman who abuses her students. What better way to grow as a teacher than to learn from these familiar professors' strengths and weaknesses? But this book is not just for educators. Any Harry Potter fan can appreciate reading more about the Hogwarts teachers who have already taught us so much. Harry's professors show us there isn't just one spell you can cast to become a perfect teacher-every day muggle teachers of all kinds bring true magic into their classrooms.

Wizard's Hall by Jane Yolen Pdf

An inept wizard-in-training is the only one who can save his classmates from the terrible sorcery that threatens to devour their magical school Acclaimed master fantasist Jane Yolen imagines an academic world of wonders where paintings speak, walls move, monsters are made real, and absolutely anything can happen—as she introduces readers to a hero as hapless as the legendary Merlin is powerful. It was Henry’s dear ma who decided to send him off to Wizard’s Hall to study sorcery, despite the boy’s apparent lack of magical talent. He has barely stepped through the gates of the magnificent school when he is dubbed Thornmallow (“prickly on the outside, squishy within”). Still, regardless of his penchant for turning even the simplest spell into a disaster, Thornmallow’s teachers remain kind and patient, and he soon has a cadre of loyal, loving friends. But there is something that no one is telling the boy: As the 113th student to enroll in the wondrous academy, Thornmallow has an awesome and frightening duty to fulfill—and failure will mean the destruction of Wizard’s Hall and everyone within its walls.
