The winner of this bout would get third place for the tournament. The air seemed to have gone out of the room, a cavernous gymnasium where two dozen fencing strips had held competitors fighting and winning and losing all day. Jill bounced in place, flicking her épée so it whipped against the air, as if she couldn't wait to start. Her face was a shadow behind the mesh of her mask. It nestled into her hand like it had been molded there, the épée blade becoming an extension of her arm.Īcross from her, on a long, five-foot-wide strip of combat, stood her opponent, a tall, powerful-limbed girl in a bleach-white fencing jacket who seemed more like a linebacker than a fencer. Rearranged her hold on her weapon once again, curling gloved fingers around the grip. Please shop your local independent bookstore whenever possible.

These teachers use games to provide a shared meaningful experience for students. There are plenty of lessons to be learned from the best practices of expert educators. Game-Based Learning in Action details how the classrooms of expert game-based learning teachers function, from how they rollout games to how they assess learning outcomes. Farber shares his findings about the social practices of these educators. ![]() Teachers in "The Tribe" do not teach in isolation-they share, support, and mentor each other in a community of practice. They mentor and lead newcomers to game-based learning, as well as advise game developers, academics, and policymakers. They are transformational leaders outside the classroom, in communities of practice. How are expert educators using games in their classrooms to give students agency, while also teaching twenty-first century skills, like empathy, systems thinking, and design thinking? This question has motivated Matthew Farber's Game-Based Learning in Action: How an Expert Affinity Group Teaches With Games showcasing how one affinity group of K12 educators-known as "The Tribe"-teaches with games. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On the film side, the company’s slate includes World War Z, 12 Years a Slave, The Big Short and Moonlight. “Far from being the dystopian nightmares that we are used to, Banks creates a kind of flawed paradise, a society truly worth fighting for - rather than a warning from the future, his books are a beckoning.”įor Plan B, Consider Phlebasmarks the company’s latest TV foray following FX’s Feud and Starz’s upcoming Sweetbitter. “Iain Banks has long been a hero of mine, and his innate warmth, humor and humanism shines through these novels,” Kelly said. ![]() Other genre plays at Amazon have included Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s The Boys and Ringworld, among others.

The book in question is IMPOSTORS, the first in a new trilogy from YA community pillar Scott Westerfeld, set in the same word as UGLIES a good twenty or so years later. So, of course, you can imagine that when I found out that the Uglies universe was in fact still active, I grabbed the book as soon as possible. Without the same simplicity of concept that plagues Divergent and other dystopian YA, the Uglies trilogy spoke directly to (what I now recognize as) my dysphoria as a trans teen and the feeling of never quite fitting in – of simply speaking a different language than everybody else, and maybe, eventually, I’d catch up. ![]() I read the Uglies trilogy in full when I was in either middle school or early high school, and to this day they’re some of my favourite dystopian novels. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As a female officer, she is a rarity in town (even though women are the business owners of the city) and a stickler for proper enforcer behavior, determined to rise up the chain of command so that she can change all the wrongs of the male-dominated department. ![]() The Emperor’s Edge begins with Amaranthe Lokdon, a woman enforcer, of Stumps, the capital of the Empire.

Lewis based himself on the classical Greek teminology for the different forms of love. Lee adopted a standard sociological approach by studying love as it exists in the population, not as it should ideally be. His approach to the subject is radically different from that of other scholars I mentioned in my article.
