Amy Lin – författare

Amy Lin trodde aldrig att hon skulle få uppleva den djupa kärlek hon delar med sin man Kurtis, en begåvad ung arkitekt som gör henne lycklig, mer äventyrlig och får henne att tycka om sig själv. Under en tryckande varm augustimorgon, bara några månader innan de nygifta ska flytta till Vancouver, ger sig Kurtis ut för att springa ett halvmaraton med Amys familj. Det är sista gången hon ser sin man i livet.

Det här är en stark och öppenhjärtig berättelse om Amys liv med Kurtis och den omvälvande tid som följde efter hans död. Livet efter dig är en kärlekshistoria och en innerlig skildring av ofattbar sorg, en finstämd och gripande memoar som stannar hos läsaren långt efter sista sidan.

 

"Den här boken är ett litet underverk – en oerhört modig kärleksförklaring.” ELLE Magazine

"… om du behöver en plats där du kan möta din egen sorg eller känna dig mindre ensam med den — då kan Livet efter dig vara boken för dig." Esquire

"En gripande bok. Författaren utforskar sorgen i all dess orubbliga och nästan outhärdliga råhet." Library Journal

"En ärlig varning: Lins debutmemoar kan få läsaren att gråta sig genom hela boken. Men framför allt reflekterar man över sorg – sin egen och andras – på ett djupt och kanske helt nytt sätt." Booklist

“Tårarna är nära och det känns i hjärtat! En väldigt fin skildring av ofattbar sorg.” @linas_boktips

“Det är välskrivet, inget ord känns onödigt och meningarna förmedlar en sorglig men också fin livshistoria.”@lindas_bokhorna

“Hon får det att göra ont, sorgen är som en käftsmäll. Kapitlen är korta och orden är få, men hon får sagt allt.”@elsa.anna.dahl

Learn how to differentiate math instruction to help all students be successful learners in the secondary mathematics classroom. Featuring 89 new questions, this revised edition uses two powerful and universally applicable strategies—Open Questions and Parallel Tasks—to help teachers differentiate instruction with less difficulty and greater success. This popular book shows teachers how to get started and become expert with these strategies, demonstrating how to use more inclusive learning conversations to promote broader student participation and how to formatively assess understanding. Strategies and examples are organized around Big Ideas and reference common standards. With particular emphasis on algebra, chapters also address number and operations, geometry, measurement including trigonometry, and data analysis and probability. Updated with many new examples and expanded guidelines for teachers to create their own open tasks and questions, More Good Questions, Second Edition is designed to allow students to respond from their own expertise level and to also come together as a math community for the conceptual conversation around a math problem.Book Features:Underscores the rationale for differentiating instruction (DI) with nearly 300 specific examples for grades 6–12 math.Describes easy-to-implement strategies designed to overcome the most common DI problems that teachers encounter.Offers questions and tasks that teachers and coaches can adopt immediately or use as models to create their own, along with scaffolding and consolidating questions.Includes Teaching Tips sidebars and an organizing template at the end of each chapter to help teachers build new tasks and open questions.Shows how to create a more inclusive classroom learning community with mathematical talk that engages participants from all levels.PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Visit Marian Small's website onetwoinfinity.ca for in-person and online professional development.
