Synopsis

Theme Building offers a comprehensive exploration of how narrative components work together to create impactful themes in storytelling. It argues that theme isn't merely an abstract idea but a carefully constructed element arising from the dynamic interaction of character development, plot structure, and setting. By examining these elements, readers can deepen their understanding of literary works and enhance their own storytelling abilities.

 
The book systematically progresses through key narrative components. It begins by distinguishing theme from plot and moral, then explores how character arcs contribute to theme through choices and motivations. The analysis extends to plot, revealing how narrative structure and conflict amplify thematic concerns, and setting, demonstrating how environments symbolize thematic elements.

 
The approach blends academic rigor with practical guidance, supported by diverse examples from literature, film, and television. Ultimately, Theme Building equips readers with the tools to identify, analyze, and intentionally build themes into their own work. It addresses ongoing discussions about authorial intent versus reader interpretation, providing a balanced perspective valuable for students, educators, and anyone passionate about literature and the art of storytelling, empowering them to craft narratives with depth and resonance.

Singlehandedly - Learning to...

Ruth Rathblott

What are you hiding? 
Chances are there is something about you that makes you different, that makes you feel you don’t belong. Many of us hide—our ethnicity, sexuality, mental health, disability, religion…the list goes on. The diversity and inclusion movement has emboldened some to come out of the shadows. But too often, disability is not included in that conversation. 
Ruth Rathblott was born with a limb difference. In her compelling and intimate memoir, she recounts the exhausting and often lonely years she spent overachieving and trying to hide her disability before she learned to unhide. She takes us on a journey of self-discovery: discovering her difference, being taught to hide it, and ultimately finding self-acceptance and connection with others. 
This book will show you how to build a world of true acceptance, inclusion, and belonging. By the end, you will understand the need to:Own your difference—it’s your greatest gift!Find connection and community by allowing others in to support youCreate inclusive conversations that allow for curiosity and empathyRecognize why representation is essential to creating an inclusive environmentRealize the power of sharing your story 
Singlehandedly is a book for all of us who have been hiding our differences and want to find freedom, for leaders who want to build more inclusive teams, and for diversity and inclusion directors committed to expanding the diversity conversation to include everyone.

Hacking Deficit Thinking - 8...

Kelsie Reed, Byron McClure

Are you focused on what's wrong with your students? Now you can transform learning by reframing your view from what's wrong to what's strong. 
 
 
 
"At risk." "Low." "Title I kids." If you've worked with students, you've probably heard or said these coded labels that reflect deficit thinking. This focus on weakness is a pervasive, powerful judgment that continues to harm students long after they leave school. It's time for educators to hack deficit thinking, think about SEL and about strength-based teaching, and reframe teaching and learning. 
 
 
 
Nationally certified school psychologists McClure and Reed show teachers, administrators, and support staff how to unlearn student blame and reframe thinking to focus on students' strengths. When we acknowledge the impact of teaching practices and the broader structural inequities, we can help everyone reach their highest potential. 
 
 
 
In Hacking Deficit Thinking, you'll learn how to: build on student strengths; think about student empathy; humanize your data; recognize the value of differences; think about teacher empathy; talk about equity in schools; tap into school-wide strengths; flourish as an educator.
