Readicide: How Schools Are Killing Reading and What You Can Do About It
Readicide is defined as the systematic killing of the love of reading. Gallagher argues that schools are actively (though unknowingly) furthering the decline of reading. He contends that instructional practices used in most schools are killing reading by: valuing the development of test-takers over the development of lifelong learners, requiring students to read difficult texts without proper instructional supports and scaffolds, insisting that students focus on academic texts and ignoring the importance of developing recreational reading.
Gallagher provides educators with the necessary tools to reverse the loss of another generation of readers.

"Reading Don't Fix No Chevys": Literacy in the Lives of Young Men
The authors interviewed 49 middle and secondary level male students from a wide range of backgrounds in order to determine how the young men use literacy and what conditions promote it. Several factors under consideration include socioeconomic background, race, performance and type of school. The research shows that boys favour literacy activities outside of school that provide an escape from the stresses in their lives. The authors explain how progressive curricula and instruction can help boys become more engaged with literacy. The authors note that the same principles apply to female students in the classroom.
Teachers will find this book useful to help them identify situations that promote literacy and consider the implications for classroom practices.

In the darkness of the underground world of Caverna, craftspeople create food and drinks that are capable of eliminating memories and causing those who ingest them to believe in deception. The people of Caverna, however, have blank faces with no expressions - these must be learned from the famous Facesmiths.

Since she is still capable of showing genuine expressions without the Facesmiths, Neverfall is a threat to the controlled structure of Caverna.

Apollo 13
Apollo 13 was the third mission scheduled to land on the moon. Only 55 hours into the flight, an oxygen tank ruptures and cripples the service module. The flight director, Gene Kranz, makes the decision to immediately abort the mission and get the three astronauts safely home. Intended for only two people, the three astronauts move to the lunar module to use as a lifeboat for the trip back home.
Many structural inadequacies are discovered and have to be solved quickly. For example, the shape differences in the lithium hydroxide supply canisters to remove carbon dioxide between the command module and the lunar module are incompatible. The men at ground control improvise a way to join the cube-shaped command module canisters to the lunar module's cylindrical canisters and draw air through them using a suit return hose.
Additional information in the book includes previous Apollo missions, photographs and appendices.

Blind Spot: What Happened to Canada's Aboriginal Fathers?
This video program explores the issue of First Nations children who grow up without their fathers - the "blind spot." Two central themes in the program can lead to classroom discussion. First, the decimation of the buffalo stripped males of their role as providers and protectors. Moving First Nations people to reserves created a culture of dependency. The residential school system further eroded the First Nations family structure. The second theme is the lack of support or recognition by Canadian governments and the public on the issue of absent fathers. President Barack Obama is bringing the issue of fatherlessness to the forefront in the United States.
Filmed in North Central Regina, three men discuss fatherhood. Sixteen-year-old Tyson Kakaway is preparing for the birth of his first child. Only knowing his father through Facebook, Tyson vows he will do his best to be a father to his daughter. Andrew Kinniewisse is from the Yellowquill First Nation. Andrew is in the courts trying to prove that he can provide a stable home so that his two older children can return to live with him. Jeff Crowe spent 13 years in and out of jail; he now runs a parenting program at the Regina Correctional Centre.

I Read It, But I Don't Get It: Comprehension Strategies for Adolescent Readers
Many useful ideas for improving adolescents' comprehension are included in this slim, highly readable volume. I Read It, But I Don't Get It is organized into three parts. Parts 1 and 2 contain chapters that pertain to topics such as Fake Reading, Connecting the New to the Known and What's the Plan?
Each chapter begins with a student quotation and an anecdote involving a problem in reading encountered by the author in an actual classroom of adolescent students. The strategies presented in the book are based on research that defines the thinking strategies used by proficient readers. The roles of purpose in reading, motivation and use of prior experiences constitute the basis for many of the strategies. The book aligns with current research regarding effective reading instruction. The notion that meaning in reading is constructed as readers interact with text is at the root of the strategies presented.
Part 3 consists of three short appendices that contain forms to be used to facilitate implementation of the strategies presented in the preceding chapters.

Innocence Lost: A Play About Steven Truscott
In June 1959, 12-year-old Lynne Harper is found raped and strangled in an Ontario woodlot. A few months later, her classmate, 14-year-old Steven Truscott, is convicted of her murder and sentenced to death by hanging.
A young woman named Sarah guides the audience through the play. She moves effortlessly from the past to the present to tell the story. Through Sarah, the audience understands how a community became fearful and how a young man was found guilty due to rumour and innuendo.
Truscott is the youngest Canadian sentenced to death. His case served as the impetus for the abolishment of capital punishment in Canada. In 1960, his death sentence was commuted to life in prison. In 2007, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that Truscott's conviction was a miscarriage of justice and he was acquitted of the crime.
The play was a finalist for the 2009 Governor General's Award.

Cold as Ice wants Thomas to die and join them; Soft as Snow wants Thomas to survive the night so he can return to the city and tell people their story. Filmed in black and white, the program is inspired by the freezing deaths of several First Nations men in Saskatoon. The police practice of taking individuals to an isolated edge of the city where they would be beaten or abandoned earns Canada a place on the 2001 Amnesty International report of human rights abuses. This film will stimulate discussion about the state of disregard and oppression faced by Indigenous people in Canada and around the world.

Prom Night in Mississippi(Canadian ed.)
Canadian filmmaker Paul Saltzman explores racism in the Deep South. In 1970, black students are finally allowed to attend the one high school in Charleston, Mississippi. White parents refuse to have an integrated graduation dance, starting the tradition of separate, parent-organized White Proms and Black Proms.
In 1997, Morgan Freeman offers to pay for the senior prom under one condition - it had to be racially integrated; his offer was ignored. In 2008, Freeman makes the same offer. The school board accepts, and the graduating class is set to make history.
Saltzman follows the community as they prepare for the integrated prom. Some white parents refuse to have their children attend the integrated prom and organize a "white only" prom. Students, teachers and parents provide their thoughts on the integrated prom. Change does not come easily to Charleston as racism is still prevalent and has a distinct, generational feel.
Additional material can be found on the website at www.promnightinmississippi.com.

Reel Injun: On the Trail of the Hollywood Indian
Neil Diamond examines the portrayal of First Nations people in cinema. Diamond travels through the U.S. and shows how the myth of the "Injun" has influenced the world's understanding and misunderstanding of First Nations people. Diamond interviews individuals such as Adam Beach, Graham Greene, Robby Robertson, Sancheen Cruz Littlefeather and Clint Eastwood for their input.
The program is divided into sections and takes the viewer on a journey, starting with the silent film era, where many First Nations people acted in, starred in and directed films. During the 1930s, the stagecoach films changed public perception by the depiction of the "brutal savage" and "Tonto speak." These subsequent films damaged First Nations people for decades.
Little Big Man is one of the first movies to present First Nations as individuals and not as stereotypes. As cinema enters the 21st century, contemporary stories are coming to the forefront. First Nations actors, writers, songwriters and directors take lead roles in the film industry.
Due to the length of the program, educators are encouraged to select portions of the program for classroom use.

Several visual artists, writers, and musicians recollect a time or an incident from their childhood that changed the way in which they looked at the world. They face some of their childhood fears again, while paddling around Saskatchewan lakes, walking across frozen dugouts, or facing the limitless, wide-open spaces of their youth. These memories are paired with the insightful, humorous and often surprising answers that children gave to some very important questions.

Augie Merasty was five years old when he began attending St.Therese Residential School from 1935-1944.
This courageous and intimate memoir is the story of a child who faced the dark heart of humanity, let loose by the cruel policies of a bigoted nation. As Augie recounts, these schools did more than attempt to mould children in the ways of white society. They were taught to be ashamed of their heritage and, as he experienced, often suffered physical and sexual abuse. This resource discusses topics such as homelessness, residential schools, racism, faith, and traditional ways.

The Selenium Solution
This video features a project involving scientists Dr. Ingrid Pickering, Dr. Graham George and a team of cross-disciplinary researchers who investigated the link between arsenic and selenium, two elements on the periodic table that appear to cancel each other out. Arsenic is naturally present in the Earth's crust and in some parts of the world, such as Bangladesh and India, arsenic deposits are poisoning drinking water. The researchers are attempting to use selenium to counteract arsenic poisoning in these areas. Although the project began as "curiosity-driven" research with little apparent real-life application, this research could lead to improved quality of life for millions of people. The video demonstrates the scientific process in action and does a good job of reinforcing the important role of curiosity and creativity in science.
