Supplementary Material t/a Puntos de Partida
Supplementary Materials to Accompany Puntos de Partida From the first edition to the present edition, one of the most important features of the Supplementary Materials is the built-in recycling of linguistic functions. In this edition besides the “Guided Writing” re-entry activities, and the “Communicative Goals” speaking practices, we have added a section called “Recycling of Major Linguistic Functions” which was previously in the Teacher’s Guide and as is now in the student Supplement. We have also added suggestions about how to incorporate student-initiated questions into picture-based activities. All activities have been updated to reflect the changes to the new edition of Puntos and current Hispanic popular culture. What will you find in the new Supplementary Materials and the accompanying Teacher’s Guide? • Communicative Goals and Grammatical Structures Checklists • Pronunciation • Listening Comprehension • Grammar • Chapter Reviews • Integrative and Information Gap Activities • Guided Writing • Communicative Goals Practices • Round Robin Grammar Monitor Activities • Recycling of Major Linguistic Functions • Games The Supplementary Materials and Teacher’s Guide are meant, first and foremost, to be a time-saver when doing lesson plans. Here, in one manual, you will find a wide range of imaginative, classroom-tested materials and activities, designed by experienced teachers who have taught extensively with Puntos de partida. It is our earnest hope that this supplement and teacher’s guide will make teachers’ lives easier when planning classes, and that students find the materials interesting, enjoyable and beneficial. .

Las Siete Partidas, vol. 2 (Middle Ages Series)
Las Siete Partidas, or Seven Divisions, is the major law code of thirteenth-century Spain, compiled by Alfonso X the Learned of Castile Seven centuries later, this compendium of legal and customary information remains the foundation of modern Spanish law. In addition, its influence is notable in the law of Spain's former colonies, including Texas, California, and Louisiana. The work's extraordinary scope offers unparalleled insight into the social, intellectual, and cultural history of medieval Spain. Built on the armature of a law code, it is in effect an encyclopedia of medieval life.
Long out of print, the English translation of Las Siete Partidas--first commissioned in 1931 by the American Bar Association--returns in a superior new edition. Editor and distinguished medieval historian Robert I. Burns, S.J., provides critical historical material in a new general Introduction and extensive introductions to each Partida. Jerry Craddock of the University of California, Berkeley, provides updated bibliographical notes, and Joseph O'Callaghan of Fordham University contributes a section on law in Alfonso's time.
Las Siete Partidas is presented in five paperback volumes, each available separately:
The Medieval Church, Volume 1: The World of Clerics and Laymen (Partida I) ISBN 0-8122-1738-1 336 pages Paper $28.50
Medieval Government, Volume 2: The World of Kings and Warriors (Partida II) ISBN 0-8122-1739-X 296 pages Paper $28.50
The Medieval World of Law, Volume 3: Lawyers and Their Work (Partida III) ISBN 0-8122-1740-3 384 pages Paper $29.95
