A funny story, full of wordplay, brings poetry alive as never
before! Kilmer Watts makes his living teaching piano lessons, but
when automatic pianos arrive in town, he realizes he's out of a
job. He spots a "Help Wanted" sign at the poem factory and decides
to investigate - he's always been curious about how poems are made.
The foreman explains that machines and assembly lines are used for
poetry these days. So Kilmer learns how to operate the "meter
meter" and empty the "cliche bins." He assembles a poem by picking
out a rhyme scheme, sprinkling in some similes and adding
alliteration. But one day the machines malfunction, and there is a
dramatic explosion at the poem factory. How will poetry ever
survive? Kyle Lukoff's funny story, rich in wordplay, is
complemented by Mark Hoffmann's lively, quirky art. The backmatter
includes definitions of poetic feet, types of poems (with
illustrated examples) and a glossary of other terms. An author's
note explains the inspiration for the story. Key Text Features

Sometimes a lie is a wish. Once upon a time there was a lonely
carpenter, a curious cat, and a little wooden puppet who one day
came to life... In this spectacular new version of the much-loved
classic tale, Pinocchio discovers why it's best to always tell the
truth. With a touch of magic from the blue fairy, enter a world of
gingerbread villages and snow-capped mountains in this adventure of
friendship and family, written by award-winning and internationally
recognised writer Eve Leigh. This edition was published to coincide

This book provides teachers of children at Key Stages 1 and 2 with
a much-needed source of exciting and creative drama-based
activities, designed to improve literacy. As useful for the drama
novice as for the busy literacy co-ordinator, these flexible
activities are designed to help teachers meet National Curriculum
and National Literacy Strategy (NLS) requirements, particularly
through speaking and listening. The book is divided into three
parts: Part 1 looks at literacy and the power of drama as a
'brain-friendly' medium for teaching and learning. Part 2 contains
ten structured, practical units of work, each based on a different
story, poem, play or traditional tale or rhyme and each linked
directly to the requirements and objectives of the NLS and the QCA
objectives for speaking and listening. Part 3 contains
photocopiable Literacy Support Sheets for teachers to use and adapt
for their own classroom needs. All units of work have been tried
and tested by the authors, giving teachers a springboard from which
to enhance and extend their literacy lessons, and engage the
imagination of their pupils. The book is also the ideal resource
for student teachers.
This joyful ode to the everyday moments in a child's life is a
child-friendly reimagining of the classic poem "Pippa's Song" by
poet Robert Browning. Perfect for Poetry Month and for fans of Liz
Garton Scanlon and Cynthia Rylant. Waffles for breakfast, walking
to school with a friend, playing in the park, making dinner,
getting tucked into bed...these moments shape the familiar rhythms
of a child's life. This lyrical celebration of the everyday, with
the comforting refrain "all's right with the world," is the perfect
read-aloud for bedtime or anytime. The year's at the spring, and
day's at the morn. Morning's at seven. All's right with the world.

It isn't her fairy godmother-but it is someone who will change her life forever.

Pietermaritzburg in 1903, Alan Paton attended Pietermaritzburg
College and then studied science at the University of Natal. He
graduated in 1922 and obtained his teaching certificate in 1923. In
1925, he went to teach at a school in Ixopo attended by black
children. In 1928, he took a post at Pietermaritzburg College, a
prestigious, whites-only boys' school, where he taught for seven
years. He started writing poetry and novels, but was critical of
his novel-writing efforts and destroyed these early stories. In
1935, he became principal of Diepkloof Reformatory. Here, he
instituted a number of reforms and the reformatory succeeded in
rehabilitating juvenile criminals into society. He felt that with
greater freedom in the way the reformatory was run, the boys would
be better adapted to life outside the reformatory when released. At
the start of the Second World War, Paton wanted to join the army,
but was asked to stay on at the reformatory instead. After the war,
while travelling to study prisons and reform schools elsewhere in
the world, Paton had the idea for his novel Cry, the Beloved
Country, which he wrote most of while travelling abroad. Paton was
convinced that young urban black people drifted into crime because
of a lack of opportunities to make a living and as a result of
broken families and tribes around the country. This lack of
stability of home and culture left the young without an anchor, and
the unfair laws of the time inhibited them from finding an honest
way to make a living. In creating his characters for Cry, the
Beloved Country, Paton drew on three major schools of thought at
that time: There was a desire by white people to keep the black
people in their place.; There was an opposite desire among black
activists to demand equality more and more violently; and There was
the attitude of "brotherly love" as embodied by the Christian
churches predominant at that time. As a devout Christian, Paton
seemed to conclude in his novel that having an attitude of
brotherly love offers the only hope for the future, but this idea
was fiercely opposed. Although Paton wrote this novel in 1946, the
themes and issues he explores are still interesting and relevant
now. This eBook is in ePDF format, which enables you to: View the
