Poetry Goes to School: From Mother Goose to Shel Silverstein

This comprehensive resource is a must-have for teachers who want to fill their classrooms with poetry. Based on years of working with poems, children and teachers, the two authors have gathered their rich and extensive collection of poetry and teaching strategies into a meaningful, manageable programme. With descriptions of poetic genres, lessons and teaching tools, sample poems and ideas for sharing and exploration, this book will inspire, inform and entertain. You can select from a wide range of response activities that will involve children in reading, writing, role-playing and the arts. Assessment techniques for supporting the poetry programme complement this highly readable volume. Stimulate creativity and imagination and learn to create a culture of poetry that demonstrates the power of worlds and strengthens the language lives of children.

Hybridization and Population Subdivision Within and Between Ross's Geese and Lesser Snow Geese: A Molecular Perspective

AbstractWe reanalyzed Quinn's (1992) mtDNA control region data set including new sequences from nine Lesser Snow Geese (Chen caerulescens caerulescens) and 10 Ross's Geese (Chen rossi) and found the same divergent lineages that Quinn (1992) attributed to vicariant separation of Lesser Snow Goose populations during the Pleistocene. However, peculiar patterns of mtDNA control region sequence variation, including a multimodal mismatch distribution of mtDNA sequences with two levels of population structuring and the sharing of two divergent haplotype lineages, are consistent with two hybridization episodes in Chen geese. Comparisons of mtDNA variation with historical and allozyme data sets compiled by Cooke et al. (1988) are consistent with the hypothesis that sharing of two mtDNA haplotype lineages between Ross's Goose and Lesser Snow Goose resulted from hybridization (Avise et al. 1992). Furthermore, population structure found within one haplotype cluster is consistent with Cooke et al.‘s (1988) hypothesis of past allopatry between blue and white Lesser Snow Geese.Hibridización y Subdivisión dentro y entre Poblaciones de Chen rossi y Chen caerulescens caerulescens: Una Perspectiva MolecularResumen. Reanalizamos los datos de la región de control del ADN mitocondrial (ADNmt) de Quinn (1992), junto con nuevas secuencias de nueve individuos de la especie Chen caerulescens caerulescens y 10 de Chen rossi. Encontramos los mismos linajes divergentes que Quinn (1992) atribuyó a la separación vicariante de las poblaciones de C. c. caerulescens durante el Pleistoceno. Sin embargo, encontramos que las dos especies comparten dos linajes de haplotipos divergentes, y la distribución de “mismatch” en secuencias del ADNmt mostró multimodalidad con dos niveles de estructuración de la población. Estos patrones peculiares están de acuerdo con la hipótesis de que hubo dos episodios de hibridización en gansos del género Chen. Los datos históricos y de aloenzimas compilados por Cooke et al. (1988) también apoyan esta hipótesis (Avise et al. 1992). Además, la estructura de la población dentro de un grupo de haplotipos es consistente con la hipótesis de Cooke et al. (1988) acerca de la pasada alopatría entre los morfos azul y blanco de C. c. caerulescens.

Short Term Ionospheric Variability in the Northern Hemisphere for Two Consecutive Solar Cycles

Hourly values of the total electron content (TEC-Faraday content) collected at five stations in the northern hemisphere extending from the low to high latitudes lying in the narrow longitude zone of (270 ± 20) °E during the solar maximum years 1981 and 1989 respectively of the last 21 and 22nd solar cycles and also during the common solar minimum year 1985 are used to study the latitudinal variations of the day to day TEC variability. The effect of solar phase change in the variability is found to be the least for the midlatitude station of Boulder and most during the nighttime for the high latitude station of Goose bay. The magnetic disturbance generally enhances the TEC variability for the five stations during the three seasons of both solar phases and this effect seems to be somewhat higher for the mid and high latitudes during the equinox season of the solar maximum years. A spectral investigation of the TEC variability reveals narrowing of the spectrum from low to high latitudes during the solar minimum phase while the reverse seems to be the case during the solar maximum. While the low latitude TEC variability spectrum is not correlated to either the variability spectrum of S10.7 solar flux or to the mean equatorial Dst variations, the mid latitude TEC variations show a good positive correlation with the variability of Ap and the higher latitude TEC variations are negatively correlated with the variability spectrum of the daily mean Auroral electrojet (AE) indices.
