HOLLYWOOD SPY'S GIVEAWAY: WIN FREE COPIES OF COOL NEW BOOK "NAME THAT MOVIE! A PAINLESS VOCABULARY BUILDER"

    Here's something nice: your HOLLYWOOD SPY is hosting a giveaway this weekend. The free gift is a great new book NAME THAT MOVIE!: A PAINLESS VOCABULARY BUILDER by Brian Leaf. His books are both educational and entertaining,
    so I'm sure many of you would enjoy them, especially my dear writers. So, leave a comment on this post, and after the weekend I will randomly choose two of you, who will get a free copy of the book!

    Can students really learn the high-level vocabulary words umbrage, imperious, innocuous, categorical, and mawkish from the HARRY POTTER movies? Did Captain Jack Sparrow use the words macabre, belligerent, and superfluous in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movies? The answer is “Yes!”
    In his new NAME THAT MOVIE! books (Wiley, December 2010, $9.99), test-prep author Brian Leaf merges his readers' passion for movies with their need to learn standardized-test vocabulary words.
    The two books (one a comedy/action edition and the other, a romantic comedy/drama edition) provide quotes from popular movies. Readers attempt to name the movies and define the boldfaced vocabulary words in each quote.
    The books are half movie trivia and half vocabulary instruction, with 1,000 vocabulary words in each. Words are taken from "Harry Potter", "Step Brothers", "Juno", "Knocked Up", "300", "The 40-Year-Old Virgin", "Iron Man", "Mean Girls", "The Notebook", "Wedding Crashers", "Pride & Prejudice", "Miss Congeniality", "Shrek" and more.
    The books hit the stores this week, just in time for Christmas. Learn more about NAME THAT MOVIE! and check out a free sample chapter at www.BrianLeaf.com.Source URL: http://imagesmillionsofimages.blogspot.com/2010/12/hollywood-spy-giveaway-win-free-copies.html
