Durschmied begins with the French Revolution and goes on to examine the revolutions of Mexico in 1910, Russia in 1917, and Japan in 1945, as well as the failed putsch against Hitler in 1944. His account of the Cuban Revolution is peppered with personal anecdotes for he was the first foreign correspondent to meet Castro when the future leader was still in the Sierra Maestra. He concludes with the Iranian Revolution that ousted the Shah in 1979 another that he personally covered and, in a new preface, extends his analysis to the Arab Spring.Each revolution, Durschmied contends, has its own dynamic and memorable cast of characters, but all too often the end result is the same: mayhem, betrayal, glory, and death. Unlike the American Revolution, which is the counterexample, few revolutions are spared the harsh reality that most devour their own children. Durschmied is a supremely gifted reporter who has transformed the media he works in. Newsweek A] light and lively narrative that serves as a useful introduction for the general reader.

| bloom taxonomy questions starters: Question Power William Truesdale, Vinni M. Hall, 2024-10-02 The Power of Questions: How They Can Change and Influence Instructional Practices is designed for both educators and learners. It supports a robust way to understand the efficacy of any teaching and learning environment. Educators should develop questions that ensure their own analysis of essential or key learning concepts and choose spaces to motivate learners to reflect on how they learn. As a learner, one should work on developing question asking strategies that lead to critical thinking, self-advocacy, curiosity and developing an arsenal of truth-worthy research tools. Using and soliciting questions (particularly open-ended questions) and answers offers a feedback loop that increases academic achievement and develops life-long learning habits. This book’s outcome is to elevate instructional efficacy that rebuilds, renews,and regenerates learning through the power of questioning. |

| bloom taxonomy questions starters: Advanced Reading Instruction in Middle School Janice I. Robbins, 2021-09-03 Addressing the needs of academically advanced young adolescents in reading is a tall order. Advanced Reading Instruction in Middle School offers teachers a structured process for guiding students in preparing for collaborative discussions about books. Structured discussions enable students to examine the author's work together as they respond to essential questions, using evidence from the reading. Students are directed to make personal connections to story characters, plots, and settings. They are asked to explore the writer's craft through the examination of selected words, structures, settings, and literary devices incorporated in the novels. This guide includes specific literary analysis activities suitable for the six types of fiction presented and offers annotated lists of recommended advanced-level books of each type, including those recommended in the CCSS. The guide also supports the social and emotional issues of early adolescents, offering specific works suitable for a range of common topics such as identity, friendships, high expectations, and feelings of isolation. Grades 6-8 |
