Words & art 2013 by Harry Black. Pembroke Publishers. All rights reserved. Permission to copy for classroom use. For more Canadian connections, see Canada and the Nobel Prize by Harry Black. ISBN 978-1-55138-150-3. $24.95
everal years ago we published a book about Canada and the Nobel Prize. In it, we outlined the history of the prize established by Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel in 1901 and awarded each year in five categories: Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature and Peace. An economics prize was introduced later. Canada and the Nobel Prize profiles the many Canadians who have received this prestigious award, beginning with Frederick Banting and his 1923 award in Medicine for the discovery of insulin. Throughout the years, Canadians have been well-represented in all categories except Literature. Canadian-born American writer Saul Bellow and Ernest Hemingway are the only Nobel literature winners with a connection to Canada: a curious omission since there have been many world-famous Canadian writers and the country has a rich and valued heritage in world literature. This lack of recognition has now been corrected with the awarding of the 2013 Nobel Prize for Literature to Alice Munro. Highly respected and much-honoured as Canadian master of the short story, Munro has been referred to as the Canadian Chekov. Her books are not about spies, muscular superheroes, intrigue, violence, depravity or even history-changing events. Her long and successful writing career has concentrated instead on quiet human dramas and contemporary stories that deal with ordinary people living in rural and small-town Ontarioa world that she knows well and that is instantly recognizable to many readers. Concentrating mainly on true-to-life situations of women and girls, Munros writing delves into how human interactions attempt to rationalize the chaos of life and the continuum of time past, present and future. That she has used the under-recognized genre of the short story to weave her literary magic makes her achievement all the more extraordinary. Alice Munro was born and grew up in Wingham, Ontario, in the rich farmland south of the Bruce Peninsula. She studied journalism at the University of Western Ontario in nearby London and married fellow student James Munro. Their move to British Columbia to raise their family and open a bookshop in Victoria helped rekindle the interest in writing she had had from her teenage years. Munros Books

Coming Soon!
Discover a powerful tool that will revolutionize your classroom teaching and Grade : Date : learning in math, all in a single page! The ANIE (Assessment for Numeracy Problem: in Education) is a teacher-developed tool that uses performance standards to evaluate student comprehension, and plan timely and targeted instruction intervention where they are needed most. This straightforward book Makeand your best guess. Explain your strategy. introduces a single-page assessment template, designed for students in grades 1 through 12, that is both complex enough to fully align with curriculum Show how to solve. expectations and simple enough to use as a learning tool every day. It describes Draw a Sketch Calculate a 4-step process for solving any math question, and offers proven techniques for introducing the template. Accessible to all teachers, whether they are generalists or math specialists, The ANIE provides the necessary tools to actively engage students in making meaning from math, and connecting math concepts to the real world.
Name :
The ANIE
Building neural connections In 1949, behavioral psychologist Donald Hebb theorized that learning links brain cells in new ways. He said that when neurons fire repeatedly and at the same time, the neurons build stronger connections between each other. Carla Shatz of Stanford University summarized Hebbs findings by saying that brain cells that fire together, wire together (Doidge, 2007, p. 427). What this means is that each time students complete an ANIE, they strengthen the connections between brain cells about how to solve a problem. The neural network helps students remember what to do for each ANIE.
Notes
2014 The ANIE: A math assessment tool that reveals learning and informs teaching byKirkSavage,KevinBird.PembrokePublishers.ISBN978-1-55138-296-8
The ANIE uses a consistent framework that lets students focus on the process of solving math problems. We use the term templating to refer to the process of developing automaticity with the steps needed to solve math problems using the ANIE, as a result of repeated practice. Students who regularly use the ANIE framework begin to view a math question through the framework. Also, teachers who use the ANIE begin to view teaching through the same framework. Triggering one step of the framework results in triggering the other steps. When considering an equation, an ANIEtrained brain automatically cues all the steps of the template. Through repeated use of the ANIE, templating works to create efficient and strong neural connections between the brain cells used to complete the different steps of the ANIE. This creates a habit of the mind.
