book-cover

 

Silence in A Democracy (Prisons for Profit) $19.95

We’re in an era where big corporations seek to own and privatize everything that has matter for revenue generation. Dr. Dorothy Swygert gives a piercing  surgical examination and report on the history and current role of private prisons in America. She names the names, debunks their corporate model, takes complicit politicians to task, and holds court for America. Her objectives are to educate the American populace about the stronghold that private prisons have on the American people, to discuss what can possibly be done to dismantle the system, and save the nation’s youth.

Character Building in Youth: The Poetry Workshop

95 pages

By: Dr. Dorothy Swygert

This piece of literary work is more than a book of poetry.  This is a creative tool designed to increase critical thinking and reading comprehension, while fostering and stimulating confidence and character in students.  This book of poetry carries motivational and thought provoking perspectives for late junior high to high school students.

Dr. Dorothy Swygert is a graduate of Tuskegee University and has earned graduate degrees in guidance, supervision, and administration.  Since the 1970's she's worked in the New York City public school system as a teacher and guidance counselor.

Her experience has led her to a conclusion about learning in youth.  She concludes that the 2 most critical factors in youth learning are confidence and character.  The poems are centered around this concept, with a focus on community, and introspection.

She uses a unique strategy to accomplish her goal in this book.  Each poem has a set of questions about the poem that the student must answer.  This forces students out of the mode of "passive reading".  This is the same technique that many scholastic exams use.  This is a creative way to accomplish the proficiency required in learning, while building character in our youth today!

A must have for your collection.
