The Third Culture Teen by Jiwon Lee Pdf

The question "Where are you from?" isn't normally a source of stress, unless you're a Third Culture Kid. It's hard out there for a TCK, but it's even harder for a TCT (a Third Culture Teen) - not only stuck between different cultures, but stuck between childhood and adulthood. The Third Culture Teen: In Between Cultures, In Between Life Stages denotes how being an expat means a life of journeying - not only a physical journey around the world but a psychological one within yourself. The author shares her struggles with identity; lacking the confidence to call herself a true Korean. She describes how she has felt like a mish-mash of all the cultures within her, which enhanced her insecurities about her "unfinished," "incomplete" self. In this book, you'll hear fascinating stories about: How Third Culture Teens have overcome their difficulties and used them to their advantage Third Culture Teen issues such as the role of technology and adjustments to college Adult TCKs in various sectors of society, ranging from Ruth Van Reken, an acclaimed TCK author, to Lindie Botes, a polyglot YouTuber If you feel misunderstood and uncategorized as a teenage TCK, you are not alone.

Mighty Inside by Sundee Frazier Pdf

Melvin Robinson wants a strong, smooth, He-Man voice that lets him say what he wants, when he wants—especially to his crush Millie Takazawa, and Gary Ratliff, who constantly puts him down. But the thought of starting high school is only making his stutter worse. And Melvin's growing awareness that racism is everywhere—not just in the South where a boy his age has been brutally killed by two white men, but also in his own hometown of Spokane—is making him realize that he can't mutely stand by. His new friend Lenny, a fast-talking, sax-playing Jewish boy, who lives above the town's infamous (and segregated) Harlem Club, encourages Melvin to take some risks—to invite Millie to Homecoming and even audition for a local TV variety show. When they play music together, Melvin almost feels like he's talking, no words required. But there are times when one needs to speak up. When his moment comes, can Melvin be as mighty on the outside as he actually is on the inside?

Oh, and also playing games that re-enact the murders. Just for fun, you understand... A book about two twelve-year-olds that is definitely not for kids.

The Secret to Writing an Essay by Micheal Maxwell Pdf

For more than twenty years, Micheal Maxwell worked with students from junior high through university. For most of that time his talents were put to use working with below grade level, behind credits, at-risk high school students, and adults returning to school for their high school diploma. It was as natural as breathing to bring his love of writing into these classrooms. Year after year every assignment was met with "I hate to write!" While working through his student's writing limitations and negative attitudes, he faced people who said with frustration, and sometimes outright anger, "Why has no one ever taught me this before?" They may or not have been shown the basics of writing an essay. One thing was certain, they didn't understand it. So, they got further and further behind. You hold in your hands the result of all those years of giving "haters of writing" a clear, uncluttered method of turning their thoughts into cohesive pieces of organized writing. As a parent, you know the frustration and heartbreak of a failing student. Those kids are Maxwell's stock and trade. If you are an adult trying to improve your written communication skills, or learn what you missed the first time around, you are in luck. It works for you, too! The Secret to Writing an Essay: A Parent's Guide for Teens and Tweens Who Hate to Write, was written with you in mind; parents who care deeply about their child's success. Step by step, chapter by chapter, this little book lays out simple, understandable tools for taking your child by the hand, and lovingly guide them through the mine field of high school English! This is not a Handbook For Getting an "A," it is a realistic guide to improving your child's writing skills. The goal is to remove the "I hate" from any reference to writing. If we are truthful, most of us weren't big fans ourselves! If your child is failing or falling desperately behind, we will be happy to see them pass. This guide will give them the tools to build their confidence in writing, take away the, "I don't know where to start," or worse, the lonely sense of failure at truly not understanding what to do first. Congratulations on taking the first step in unlocking the secret of writing for your child, and building a better school year. Micheal Maxwell holds a Master's Degree in Education with a concentration in Curriculum and Instruction from Chapman University in Orange, California. Mystery readers know him as the international bestselling author of the Cole Sage Mystery Series, and the young adult time travel novel, The Time Pedaler. Maxwell lives in Northern California with his wife and traveling partner, Janet. They have three grown children, and three grandchildren.
