The Exploration of the Colorado River and Its Canyons

PDF The Exploration of the Colorado River and Its Canyons by John Wesley Powell in History

Description

No longer confined to traditional institutions devoted to Talmudic studies; havruta work; or the practice of students studying materials in pairs; has become a relatively widespread phenomenon across denominational and educational settings of Jewish learning. However; until now there has been little discussion of what havruta text study entails and how it might be conceptualized and taught. This book breaks new ground from two perspectives: by offering a model of havruta text study situated in broader theories of interpretation and learning; and by treating havruta text study as composed of textual; interpersonal and intra-personal practices which can be taught and learned. We lay out the conceptual foundations of our approach and provide examples of their pedagogical implementation for the teaching of havruta text study. Included are illustrative lesson plans; teachers' notes and students' reflections; exercises for students; and other instructional materials for teaching core concepts and practices.

Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Amazing.By Arthur W. BrownI read this through like a novel; it was a great book. I admire Powell quite a bit; so I'm biased; but his narrative flows well and you can really feel the difficulty and adventure that they went through. You really feel the loss when the party splits up; and you feel the accomplishment when they finally reach another human being. I also enjoy the illustrations; especially the cover. For anyone who wants to read the inspiring; honest account of this adventure of exploration firsthand; don't be afraid of the fact that this is a journal. I think it is much easier to read than the journals of Lewis and Clark; and any other book explaining Powell's trip is just going to be a rewording of this; and not likely to do it justice.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy JustinPretty good. Read it before rafting down the Grand.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great insight into the man and his adventuresBy John H.John Wesley Powell is one of those rare heros and a real humanitarian. He predicted the dust bowl and water issues that plague this part of the world even today. This is an important book for anyone who is interested in this part of the world. I highly recommend it.
