![]() ![]() Since the 1980s, youth-related problems such as school violence, bullying, and school refusal have prompted the Japanese public, politicians, and policymakers to consider education reform. I end with some comments, suggestions, and questions for further study. I provide the basic purpose of the Integrated Curriculum as stipulated by Japan's Ministry of Education and offer five examples of Integrated Curriculum educational activities in Osaka Prefectural Schools. I then provide an outline of Japan's social diversification within which these education reforms are being enacted. ![]() I describe the youth-related social issues that have prompted calls for education reform in Japan. This entry constitutes a preliminary evaluation of the Integrated Curriculum in the greater Osaka area. ![]() In the context of rapid social diversification, this study seeks to discover whether Japanese educators are utilizing the autonomy provided by this decentralization effort to explore aspects of social change via international understanding, human rights, and multicultural education.

To understand what Russia’s future holds-to grasp what Putin’s regime means for Russia and the world-we need to unravel the ideas and meanings of that history. How the Russians came to tell their story, and to reinvent it as they went along, is a vital aspect of their history, their culture and beliefs. No other country has been so divided over its own past as Russia. ![]() Bloomsbury presents The Story of Russia by Orlando Figes, read by David Sibley.įrom the great storyteller of Russia, a spellbinding account of the stories that have shaped the country’s past-and how they can inform its present. ![]() ![]() ![]() Turgenev (the summary continues to follow his narrative) describes further events in a slightly different light.įamily Trouble, or Relationshipfather with a young princess But this is only the beginning of the story "First Love".

When the princess and her daughter came to dinner at the house of Volodya's parents, they made a not very pleasant impression on his mother. ![]() ![]() ![]() The events related in the book appear so far-fetched, however, that most of those who have read it, says Ekirch, "have tended to dismiss it as merely a sentimental fiction, written during an age when overblown stories of impossible adventures were a popular literary genre".īut then the historian happened across an obscure diary by an 18th-century Somerset rector that cited, as the event that had most marked the year 1743, a trial in which a young claimant who had returned unexpectedly from abroad sued his uncle for a lost inheritance. The principal source of information on Annesley was a fanciful if much-reprinted volume from 1743, Memoirs of an Unfortunate Young Nobleman ("Return'd," the title continues in classic 18th-century plot-spoiling style, "from Thirteen years Slavery in America, where he had been sent by a Wicked Contrivance of his Cruel Uncle A Story founded on Truth, and address'd equally to the Head and Heart"). That was certainly my take, for a long time."Įkirch and his fellows could be forgiven. "People were just not inclined to believe it. ![]() ![]() "I think one reason why there's been so little recent interest in the Annesley saga is that many modern historians and literary critics simply have not considered it to be true," says Roger Ekirch, an award-winning American historian whose impeccably researched yet rip-roaring rendering of Annesley's life, Birthright, is published this month. ![]() ![]() ![]() Two nerdy girls are at a church summer camp, despite neither of them being particularly involved with church. ![]() And up until probably middle school? I think? I mostly read book series like The Babysitter’s Club ( Mary-Anne Spier 4 lyfe) or the Mandie series or The Boxcar Children or Dear Canada. All excellent book series, but I never searched out for anything. So I don’t reeeeally classify Harry Potter as the start of my love of reading. I loved reading the books most of all, but there was also SO MUCH MORE about it that I loved. I mean, I love Harry Potter, and I certainly loved reading at the same time, but I also loved Harry Potter outside of reading? If that makes sense? I lived for the movies, the merch, the characters, the actors, EVERYTHING. Okay, so, other than Harry Potter™, which is the pinnacle of all things I love, I want to say that the Uglies trilogy is reeeeeally what started it all. Me, 24/7, whenever I think about how much I love the Uglies series. I know I haven’t been around a terribly long time in the book blogger world, but if you don’t know how much I love the Uglies series at this point… I personally stole this idea from Elizabeth the Bookish Connoisseur, so thanks girl. In this prompt we discuss books that have yet to be published that we’re excited about! Head over to her blog to learn more.
