New improved version.

Expanded and updated this latest version brings world history to life.

Kar2ouche Moving On has been designed specifically to address the practical and emotional issues that children face during their move from Primary to Secondary school. The activities are aimed mainly at Year 6 students, although there are some designed for Year 7 as well as activities that encourage communication between the two years.

The ideas and issues, discussion and role-play activities are based directly on needs identified during extensive research, and address issues such as making new friends, coping with change, and asking for help. They allow students to rehearse situations, anticipate events that might arise and plan how to make best use of their time and resources. By using the computer and virtual role-play, students can deal with situations, ask questions and challenge assumptions safely and in a way that avoids embarrassment and prepares individuals for transition.

The activities are divided into nine units that are linked with the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum for PSHE and Citizenship. They integrate class, group and pair discussions with a range of computer activities, and comprise:


Who Am I?
Can You Help Me?
What Can We Find Out?
All About Us
Where Am I?
What's The Time?
What Do I Need?
Would It Help If...?
What Can I Do?

Designed to help pupils prepare for the Mathematics National Tests at 11 years of age.
The CD-ROM provides pupils with the opportunity to practise answering questions on all aspects of the curriculum that will be tested.
There are 500 questions supported by graphics and spoken instructions. Test mode provides pupils with test situations, giving them more confidence to do well in the actual tests.

Kar2ouche Earth and the Environment covers two areas of scientific theory that have recently undergone rapid changes: our understanding of the Earth itself, and the most important environmental problems facing the world today.
The first set of activities looks at the development of geology as a science, in particular the work of Alfred Wegener and how his ideas were initially rejected. Leading scientists from the last 200 years are presented as 3D characters that present their theories. Modern characters then discuss the problem of predicting changes in the Earth’s crust, such as earthquakes and volcanoes.

The second set of activities looks at the many environmental issues that confront us: in particular, global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer. Each problem is considered from a historical point of view, and students are asked to suggest possible solutions.

The themes covered are:



Making rocks – how different types of rock are formed
Collecting evidence – how ideas about the age of the Earth have changed
Wegener’s big idea – the theory of continental drift
Cracked Earth – the theory of plate tectonics
Global warming – how the Earth’s temperature has changed over time
The hole in the ozone layer – what ozone is, CFCs and carbon dioxide emissions
Each Kar2ouche title comes with a comprehensive Teacher Support Pack

Each book provides a structured approach to boosting achievement that will enable pupils to reach the next level whilst catering for every ability and supporting differentiation.

Each unit consists of four stages:

Warm Up: A task that will gauge the student's current performance level
Lift Off: An exercise to reinforce the numerical skill and develop understanding
The booster: A task at the next level
Checkpoint: To boost achievement.
Science Booksters can be used alongside the Letts Primary Science Scheme or as 'stand alone' material.

Description
Richard III is one of Shakespeare's most popular plays on the stage and has been adapted successfully for film. This new and innovative edition recognizes the play's pre-eminence as a performance work: a perspective that informs every aspect of the editing. Challenging traditional practice, the text is based on the 1597 Quarto which, it is argued, brings us closest to the play as it would have been staged in Shakespeare's theatre. The introduction, which is illustrated, explores the long performance history from Shakespeare's time to the present. Its critical engagement with the play responds to recent historicist and gender-based approaches. The commentary gives detailed explication of matters of language, staging, text, and historical and cultural contexts, providing coverage that is both carefully balanced and alert to nuance of meaning.

Documentation of the extensive textual variants is organized for maximum clarity: the readings of the Folio and the Quarto are presented in separate banks, and more specialist information is given at the back of the book. Appendices also include selected passages from the main source and a special index of actors and other theatrical personnel.
