Rating
0.0 stars

An American Playgoer at Home serves as a companion volume to An American Playgoer in London. It captures the author’s theatregoing on his home territory in Northampton and Amherst, Massachusetts, in Hartford, Connecticut, in New York City, and in other places in the USA and in Canada as well. As a companion volume it covers approximately the same period of roughly four decades, from the early 1970s into the second decade of the new century. Almost all of the reviews are of live theatre; a few are of films that have an important dramatic quality or are a film version of an existing play, as in the instance of O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh.

Physics 132: What is an Electron? What is Light?
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

A second semester introductory physics course for life sciences students that looks to deepen students' understanding of biology and chemistry through physics all through the lens of understanding two of the most fundamental particles in the Universe: electrons and photons. The book begins with exploring the quantum mechanical nature of these objects to expand on what students have learned in chemistry and then proceeds to geometric optics (using the human eye as a theme), electrostatics (using membrane potentials), circuits (using the neuron), and finally synthesizing everything in a unit exploring the meaning of "light is an electromagnetic wave."

Tutt* a tavola! Volume 1
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC
Rating
0.0 stars

This new open educational resource is for Elementary Italian. Our goal is for this book to be comprehensive, user-friendly, inclusive, and cost-effective. Tutt* a tavola has two parts, one for each course, with six chapters in each. Generally speaking, each chapter addresses three to four grammatical topics and includes a vocabulary section related to a cultural theme. The vocabulary is also incorporated into the grammatical presentations and exercises. There is also a short reading in each chapter regarding different aspects of culture and language, to address those questions of diversity and inclusion that are often missing from the textbooks we have used in the past. To include more culture, we have also included multimedia: each chapter begins with a song that is used as a starting point for the inductive presentation of the chapter’s content, and ends with a video (a film clip, an interview, social media) that summarizes the ideas covered.

The UMass Amherst Libraries Falcon Curriculum: An Open Source, Common Core PreK-12 Curriculum on Peregrine Falcons
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This Falcon Curriculum will demonstrate how the collaboration of educational communities can create sustainable resources that are meaningful, engaging, and relevant that also align with established educational curriculum framework standards. We drew from the aforementioned SDG report and connected with K12 educators, the Du Bois Falcon Team, and wildlife experts and entities to explore how we could create an open, free curriculum to bring the falcons into the classroom. The goal of this curriculum design is to give teachers flexibility and creativity in how they want to teach standard lessons in the Massachusetts Common Core but also remain focused on meeting the requirements.
