This document summarizes a presentation by Mr. Paul W. Hankins about using young adult (YA) titles in the classroom. It discusses how YA titles can serve as inspiration for students and draw people in with their sense of storytelling. It also notes that titles take their place in guiding and reminding students, just as lightships provide guidance from their steady position. Several quotes from YA titles are provided as examples of how they can speak to students. The document concludes by providing Mr. Hankins' contact information for anyone interested in following up or sharing additional title suggestions.
A breakdown presentation of Half A Day by Naguib Mahfouz. It includes a brief profile of Naguib Mahfouz, a summary of the short story and my own explanation.
When sixteen year old Claire Wallhart discovers that she is a Night Hunter, her world is turned upside down. With the help of her instructor. Erik, she will fight off the evil creatures of the night in order to protect all man kind.
Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi princess: a mortal vampire with an unbreakable bond to the earth's magic. She must be protected at all times from Strigoi; the fiercest and most dangerous vampires--the ones who never die.
The powerful blend of human and vampire blood that flows through Rose Hathaway, Lissa's best friend, makes her a Dhampir. Rose is dedicated to a dangerous life of protecting Lissa from the Strigoi, who are hell-bent on making her one of them.
After two years of illicit freedom, Rose and Lissa are caught and dragged back to St. Vladimir's Academy, hidden in the deep forests of Montana. Rose will continue her Dhampir education. Lissa will go back to being Queen of the elite Moroi social scene. And both girls will resume breaking hearts.
Fear made Lissa and Rose run away from St. Vladimir's – inside the Academy’s iron gates, their world is even more fraught with danger. Here, the cutthroat ranks of the Moroi perform unspeakable rituals and their secretive nature and love of the night creates an enigmatic world full of social complexities. Rose and Lissa must navigate through this dangerous world, confront the temptation of forbidden romance, and never once let their guard down, lest the Strigoi make Lissa one of them forever...

It was the 몭rst Christmas after my divorce.
And I can still feel the heat of my face blazing 몭retruck red.
How I felt frozen in my shame.
I had spent my entire life manifesting the perfect life for everyone else...
This energy is what empowers us to live our best lives.nirahealhty
“YES!” I replied.
Anthony went on to tell me that in his own journey...
He discovered how to trigger an energy “switch” that was much faster and simpler than the ancient chakra teachings.
He told me about how he came across an ancient Tibetan prophecy called “The Tiger Prophecy.”
Literally stored IN my body.
But, as I'll share on this page, I discovered a strange but powerful "switch" that cleared away what was blocking my abundance...
And turned my life around so fast it made my head spin.
The journey was painful at the start... but once I discovered this switch, it rocked my world.
women-meditation
I've never experienced such a deep connection with my "source".
And I never even knew I could feel so connected to financial abundance.
What I've since discovered is this simple switch...
And the unlimited abundance it triggers...

15. “You know what guys do? They stand
up for people. You know why? Two
reasons. It's right. And it feels good.
Even if the person doesn't know what
you did. Maybe especially then.”
17. “My bounce-around life had
taught me that dreams were
dangerous things - they look solid
in your mind, but you just try to
reach for them. It's like gathering
clouds.”
19. “I realized that, sure, I was a Spokane Indian. I
belonged to that tribe. But I also belonged to the
tribe of American immigrants. And to the tribe of
basketball players. And to the tribe of bookworms.
And the tribe of cartoonists. And the tribe of
chronic masturbators. And the tribe of teenage
boys. And the tribe of small-town kids. And the
tribe of Pacific Northwesterners. And the tribe of
tortilla chips-and-salsa lovers. And the tribe of
poverty. And the tribe of funeral-goers. And the
tribe of beloved sons. And the tribe of boys who
really missed their best friends. It was a huge
realization. And that's when I knew that I was
going to be okay.”
21. “Here's what I think," I say and my voice is stronger
and thoughts are coming, thoughts that trickle into
my noise like whispers of truth. "I think maybe
everybody falls," I say. "I think maybe we all do.
And I don't think that's the asking."
I pull on her arms gently to make sure she's
listening.
"I think the asking is whether we get back up
again.”
24. “Strange, how such a small realization can affect
everyone's life forever. In movies there is
always a carefully staged moment - a big
crescendo of music, close- ups of the actors'
faces, the camera slowly pulling away to let all
this sink in for the viewer...but, in real life, most
all of the extraordinary things happen with no
more loudness than a whisper.”
26. Andrius turned. His eyes found mine. "I'll see you," he said.
My face didn't wrinkle. I didn't utter a sound. But for the first time in
months, I cried. Tears popped from their dry sockets and sailed down my cheeks
in one quick stream. I looked away.
The NKVD called the bald man's name.
"Look at me," whispered Andrius, moving close. "I'll see you," he said.
"Just think about that. Just think about me bringing you your drawings. Picture
it, because I'll be there."
I nodded.
"Vilkas," the NKVD called.
We walked toward the truck and climbed inside. I looked down at
Andrius. He raked through his hair with his fingers. The engine turned and
roared. I raised my hand in a wave good-bye.
His lips formed the words "I'll see you." He nodded in confirmation.
I nodded back. The back gate slammed and I sat down. The truck
lurched forward. Wind began to blow against my face. I pulled my coat closed
and put my hands in my pockets. That's when I felt it. The stone. Andrius had
slipped it into my pocket. I stood up to let him know I had found it. He was
gone.”
29. “’The little man jerked down the brim of his hat and
scowled over at Lennie. “So you forgot that awready, did you? I
gotta tell you again, do I? Jesus Christ, you’re a crazy bastard!”’”
Jaycee shakes me and I jerk my head around. “Wait.
What? What did I do?”
I’d fallen asleep , that’s what. There’s drool on my cheek
and a smudge mark on the window. I wipe my face and try to
figure about why Jaycee’s calling me a bastard.
“Not you,” she says without me asking. “That’s George
talking. And he’s mad at Lennie because he already forgot where
they’re going. I told you you weren’t paying attention.”
“I’m sorry,” I say. “I guess I fell asleep. I was thinking about
Scooter. . .and we did get up kind of early.”
“It’s okay.” She pats my shoulder. “Go to sleep, my little
Lennie.”
31. I think books can help create a
safe way to learn and talk about
painful or frightening experiences
and issues, especially when no
one around you is talking about
those things. . .There were times
when I was a teen that I would
mark off passages in books (with
post-it notes), and show those or
give the entire book to people I
cared about, hoping that they
would understand something I
couldn’t find the words to talk
about or was too scared to
verbalize.

Surface Wear and Remainder Marks
33. One time when I was either a tween or early teen, I'd
read an Archie comic in which Betty was exercising
like crazy so that Archie would, you know, find her
attractive. Her mom commented that lately, Betty was
eating like a bird, and Betty replied, "I am a bird: an
ostrich, with a long skinny neck and a blob for a
body." I thought this was funny. Later, when my
mom commented about what I was eating, I repeated
Betty's statement: I'm an ostrich, with a long skinny
neck and a blob for a body."
And my mom replied, "There's nothing skinny about
you.“
Jackie Morse Kessler (HUNGER)
34. Maybe. . .I am sending a rally call to
young people to think of domestic
violence the same as a swine flu
epidemic (FREAK OUT!)
Maybe I'm sending a call to everyone
who reads the book to DO
SOMETHING. SAY SOMETHING.
START TALKING NOW.
Maybe I just want to point out that
ignoring things never gets us
anywhere.
Whatever the reasoning, I write tough
books because that's what comes
naturally to me--and I can't see
myself stopping any time soon.
A. S. King (ASK THE PASSENGERS)
35. Secrets have always fascinated
me . Several times in my life I've
had moments that have caused
me to view people in a completely
different way once their secrets
were revealed and I think that's a
pretty common experience.
When I was 18, a very honest
conversation with my mother
revealed some secrets that totally
changed my view of our family
and what happened when I was
small.
