After spending over 18 years in education as a Special Education teacher and counselor, I learned several concepts and techniques that I found highly effective with middle school and early high school students. I am also a computer whiz and even created my own computers and apps several years ago, as well as a host of websites with original music, sound effx, and video, that have even gotten some attention from celebrities and others. I am a professional writer, as well, and have been writing using SEO (search engine optimization) techniques for almost a decade, putting me in a position to practice the writing and technology and media skills I needed to form my own digital technology company. I have combined what I know from my years as a teacher with my vast knowledge in computers and technology to merge them into the idea of "DOORS," meaning a portal to learning in which YOU, the parent are in charge of your child's learning! I have organized all this information into digital files so homeschool parents can use it with their kids. This first module covers everything from the thinking process to the first draft of writing paragraphs and essays and gives parents a "manual" to refer to repeatedly. It is meant to introduce the "30 Minute Mastery" series that will follow this one. Look for lessons that focus on all of these topics and more coming soon on Etsy and my other platforms. There will be many more, using all sorts of technology that I own and use in my own tech business to use as an instrument of my DIY learning platform. Think of it as a journey of discovery that you can step into with your child to open up brand-new worlds for them. Concepts and Constructs include in this first module/file include: -Thinking Skills (Expository, Comparison, Evaluation, Inference) (These are thinking skills that are used nationwide in public schools and often appear on standardized tests in the writing and language sections.) You will see several examples of each and how to teach and apply it to writing. -Types of Writing (Narrative, Informative, Persuasive, and more) -Steps of Writing (from brainstorming to final copy) -Tips and Advice from Teachers to Homeschool Parents Objective: To teach kids how to bridge thinking with writing and to apply the correct type of thinking skills to the correct writing style to communicate effectively both in the school setting and in life. This is a very comprehensive module. The lessons I will be putting up later are much shorter and are meant to be guided practice on these skills and many more. I focus on writing, language, and social and behavioral skills. This module is for the parent of homeschooled kids to study and keep to refer to throughout all of the modules and to teach kids important concepts they need to become effective writers and thinker. *I will be adding the video version of this guide soon with music and effx added. I believe in making the materials as engaging as possible using technology to open "DOORS" for them. Just look for the "doors" and walk right in! Be the master of your child's future! Come with rain. O loud Southwester! Bring the singer, bring the nester; Give the buried flower a dream; Make the settled snowbank steam; Find the brown beneath the white; But whate'er you do tonight, Bath my window, make it flow, Melt it as the ice will go; Melt the glass and leave the sticks Like a hermit's crucifix; Burst into my narrow stall; Swing the picture on the wall; Run the rattling pages o'er; Scatter poems on the floor; Turn the poet out of door. -Robert Frost "They're using our own technology against us." -(Jeff Goldblum/ "Independence Day") Note: All uploaded files are the copyright of Deborah Killion, Professional writer, former educator/counselor, and entrepreneur/tech and media business owner (Small Town Global Technologies)

This is an authentic 46-page "Il Trovatare" Metropolitan Opera Playbill from May 15, 1957. Size is 8-1/2" by 11". Condition is good, with a 5/8" tear in the front cover, and a subtle diagonal bend in the lower corner of the majority of pages, including back. Subtle yellowing of paper, some light corner bumping, but nothing at all distracting. Fresh smelling. Please see our photos, including several of the double-stapled spreads. We show the inside Title Page on page five in our photos, which shows all of the singers. Interestingly there still is a pink piece of paper inside this playbill after all of these years, showing that the acclaimed prima donna "Zinka Milanov" was a stand in that evening for the role of Leonora, replacing the indisposed Delia Rigal. This performance of Zinka's was just a few years away from the end of her long and illustrious operatic career. *Zinka Milanov* was a Croatian operatic dramatic soprano who had a major career centered on the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. After finishing her education in Zagreb, Milanov made her debut in 1927 in Ljubljana as Leonora in Giuseppe Verdi's Il Trovatore. Il Trovatore at the Met Il Trovatore has featured some of the Met’s most formidable singers, from the company’s very first season in 1883–84 to the present day. The early decades saw such memorable performers as Enrico Caruso, Emma Eames, Giuseppe De Luca, and Louise Homer. Over the following years, some of the stars included Giovanni Martinelli, Bruna Castagna, Leonard Warren, Robert Merrill, and, notably, Zinka Milanov (in 49 performances between 1937 and 1957).

Zubin Mehta is an Indian conductor of Western and Eastern classical music. He is music director emeritus of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO) and conductor emeritus of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Mehta's father was the founder of the Bombay Symphony Orchestra, and Mehta received his early musical education from him. When he was 18, he enrolled in the Vienna state music academy, from which he graduated after three years with a diploma as a conductor. He began winning international competitions and conducted the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic at age 21. Beginning in the 1960s, Mehta gained experience by substituting for celebrated maestros throughout the world. Mehta was music director of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra from 1961 to 1967 and of the Los Angeles Philharmonic from 1962 to 1978, the youngest music director ever for any major North American orchestra. In 1969, he was appointed Music Adviser to the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and in 1981 he became its Music Director for Life. From 1978 to 1991, Mehta was music director of the New York Philharmonic. Since 1985, he has also been chief conductor of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in Florence, Italy. He is an honorary citizen of both Florence and Tel Aviv and was made an honorary member of the Vienna State Opera in 1997 and of the Bavarian State Opera in 2006. The title of Honorary Conductor was bestowed on him by numerous orchestras throughout the world. More recently, Mehta made several tours with the Bavarian State Opera and kept up a busy schedule of guest conducting appearances. In December 2006, he received the Kennedy Center Honor and in October 2008 he was honored by the Japanese Imperial Family with the Praemium Imperiale. In 2016, Mehta was appointed Honorary Conductor of the Teatro San Carlo, Naples. Rest assured that we take great pride in our business, and we back all purchases with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
