Show And Tell

What will you bring to show-and-tell? Thursdays are full of surprises in Mrs. Madoff's class. It's the day when each student brings in something special to share with the rest of the class. On this Thursday, Michiko teaches the class a Japanese word when she brings in an origami butterfly. And when it's Pablo's turn to show and tell, he gets everyone to dance! But one of the students has a big surprise in store for the rest of the class. What will everyone see when they open their eyes?

“If I tell you the truth, if I tell it with a story, and if I tell that story with pictures, I can keep you glued to your seat. Let me show you how.” For the vast majority of us, giving a presentation is an extremely difficult and nerve-wracking process, whether we’re in a one-on-one meeting, a conference room with a dozen strangers, or a lecture hall in front of thousands. But according to Dan Roam, the visual communications expert and acclaimed author of The Back of the Napkin, it doesn’t have to be so hard. We struggle when we forget the basic steps we learned in kindergarten: show and tell. In this short but powerful book, Roam introduces a new set of tools for making extraordinary presentations in any setting. He also draws on ideas he’s been honing for more than two decades, as an award-winning presenter who has brought his whiteboard everywhere from Fortune 500 companies to tiny startups to the White House. Even if you’re already a good speaker, you’ll learn more about understanding your audience, organizing your content, building a clear storyline, creating effective visuals, and channeling your fear into fun. And you’ll master three fundamental rules: • When we tell the truth, we connect with our audience, we become passionate, and we find self-confidence. • When we tell a story, we make complex concepts clear, we make ideas unforgettable, and we include everyone. • When we use pictures, people see exactly what we mean, we captivate our audience’s mind, and we banish boredom. From nailing the opening to leaving a lasting impression, you’ll soon be able to give the performance of a lifetime . . . time after time. PLEASE NOTE: This eBook edition of SHOW AND TELL is carefully laid out to match the print book; this means it reads much better as designed pages, but you won't be able to use some features such as highlighting and annotating text.

Provides extra reading and writing practice. Each four-page unit provides practice of identfying, producing, reading and writing the sound-spelling patterns, first in isolation and then in words and short texts. The texts include rhymes, simple stories and non-fiction texts. The Literacy Book now supports Show and Tell across all levels. Level 1: introduces the letters and sounds of the alphabet. Level 2: reviews thealphabet. Level 3: builds on previous knowledge and covers common vowel sounds and spellings. The Literacy Book is best used before the Say it with me lesson so that students have phonics practice little and often.
