Europeans are Descendantsof at least three

Ancient Human Groups: StudyBy Mary Elizabeth Dallas, HealthDay Reporter

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 17, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Present-day Europeans are the descendants of at least three groups of ancient humans, according to a new study.

Previous research suggested that Europeans descended from indigenous hunter-gatherers and early European farmers. But, a new genetic analysis involving ancient bone samples

revealed they are also the descendants of Ancient North Eurasians. Nearly all present-day Europeans have genetic material from this third ancestral group, researchers from Harvard

Medical School said.

Picture Books in Reading Development

Ramos, A., & Ramos, R. (2011). Ecoliteracy Through Imagery: A Close Reading of Two Wordless Picture Books. Children's Literature In Education, 42(4), 325-339. doi:10.1007/s10583-011-9142-3

“..it is known that the complexity of the act of reading is not proportional to the length of a given text and, in the case of wordless picture books, the criteria required to decode and interpret pictures are wide-ranging and complex” (Ramos & Ramos, 2011).

5. Insert Pictures & Clip art

“.. college students who read a summary that contained a sequence of short captions with simple illustrations depicting the main steps in the process of lightning recalled these steps and solved transfer problems as well as or better than students who received the full text along with the summary or the full text alone. ” (Mayer, Bove, Bryman, Mars, Tapangco, 1996).

Design Tips & Best Practices

6 lines/6 words

Use images, diagrams, charts, & media

Font size – determines emphasis & importance

Colors – use them sparingly with purpose;

consider legibility, especially when projected;

and cost of ink for students that print them
