The Small Poppies (7 men 6 women), No Worries (12 men 6 women), and
Beauty and the Beast (4 men 3 women).
A small child is making his way through the jungle, first walking,
then creeping, running, leaping, swinging and finally wading. As he
goes, he hears various noises - ssssss, grrrrrrr, trump trump,
roarrrrr, chitter chatter, snap snap - after each of which the page
is turned to reveal the animal responsible. Text and artwork
combine to encourage audience participation on the levels of both
sound and movement - and to create a guessing game.
Being an adolescent is bad enough. But for Sharleen, Zodwa, Jenny
and the rest of the gang, being a teenager in South Africa is not
just about boyfriends, boob size and problem parents, but also
about cutural differences, skin colour and a whole lot more.
To accompany the "Romeo & Juliet" graphic novels from Classical
Comics and to help with their application in the classroom, this
book is spiral-bound, making the pages easy to photocopy, and
includes a CD-ROM with the pages in PDF format, ideal for
whole-class teaching on whiteboards, laptops, etc or for direct
digital printing. Written by a teacher, for teachers, helping to
engage and involve students in Shakespeare's play. Suitable for
teaching ages 10-17, this book provides exercises that cover
structure, listening, understanding, motivation and character as
well as key words, themes and literary techniques. Although the
majority of the tasks focus on the use of language and
comprehension, there are also many cross-curriculum topics,
covering areas within history, ICT, drama, reading, speaking,
writing and art. An extensive Educational Links section provides
further study opportunities. Devised to encompass a broad range of
skill levels, this book provides many opportunities for
differentiated teaching and the tailoring of lessons to meet
individual needs. Includes a CD-ROM. This resource can be used
alongside the Classical Comics adaptation of "Romeo & Juliet"
as well as any traditional text. In fact, many of the activities
can stand on their own as introductions to the world of
Shakespeare.
