Or will his life be love coated with perseverance and guide him back to Caroline, his one true love? How is grandmother Amanda going to convince her grandson that life is a journey in which one must accept the unexpected? Sam did not ask for nor did he want his so called "gift," but Amanda is adamant to reveal the truth to Sam, even if it is painful. Will Amanda accomplish her life's calling by opening Sam's eyes to see the truth? A journey of immeasurable faith as well as believing in what is not tangible is at the core of Seeing Again: Through the Eyes of a Child. Margie Vieira is happily married to a most patient man. She has three amazing daughters who never allow her to forget what life is all about. Living in Northern California has enabled the author to see a broad spectrum of nature. She grew up on a dairy surrounded by farm land as far as the eye can see. Most importantly, "family" was the keyword and foundation to her upbringing. Writing her first novel broadened her path of thinking. Once she believed that all life had to offer was what she saw right in front of her, until Seeing Again opened her eyes to endless possibilities.

Yet neither Jericho nor Gail could ever forget the depth of their love… Will meeting again, years later, resolve the feelings that never left them?

Every academic discipline has an origin story complicit with white supremacy. Racial hierarchy and colonialism structured the very foundations of most disciplines’ research and teaching paradigms. In the early twentieth century, the academy faced rising opposition and correction, evident in the intervention of scholars including W. E. B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Carter G. Woodson, and others. By the mid-twentieth century, education itself became a center in the struggle for social justice. Scholars mounted insurgent efforts to discredit some of the most odious intellectual defenses of white supremacy in academia, but the disciplines and their keepers remained unwilling to interrogate many of the racist foundations of their fields, instead embracing a framework of racial colorblindness as their default position. This book challenges scholars and students to see race again. Examining the racial histories and colorblindness in fields as diverse as social psychology, the law, musicology, literary studies, sociology, and gender studies, Seeing Race Again documents the profoundly contradictory role of the academy in constructing, naturalizing, and reproducing racial hierarchy. It shows how colorblindness compromises the capacity of disciplines to effectively respond to the wide set of contemporary political, economic, and social crises marking public life today.

To gain some insight on the phenomenon of revision within the primary classroom my thesis research explored the place revision has within the grade three classroom from the perspectives of the teacher and the students. This case study design involves two grade three teachers and 12 third grade students. Three research strategies were employed throughout the duration of research: 1) semi-structured interviews with the teacher and five students to understand their interpretations and intentions of revision in general as well as revision within a particular writing activity; 2) classroom observations of writing instruction and writing activities following the process of one writing activity and; 3) analysis of students' writing across multiple drafts. Results indicate that although revision was understood and enacted differently between the two classrooms, a strong relationship existed between the teachers' understanding and enactment of revision and their students' understanding and interpretation of their teachers' beliefs of revision.

This beautifully written book by Australian poet John Allison shows how poetry can reveal aspects of the world invisible to science.Allison describes the path to 'true imagination', an intensification of ordinary imagination, which can lead to real knowing. He examines how poets such as Shakespeare, Blake, Coleridge, Keats, John Ruskin, Gerard Manley Hopkins and Rainer Maria Rilke have developed and practiced this kind of 'deep seeing'.
