is told by her Great Aunt that she has "ants in her pants". One
night, The Anthill Mob - a gang of giant ants - emerge from her

If you get up close, does it smell like you're down-wind of a herd
of cows which have been grazing for weeks on a diet of rotting
cabbage? Does the tooth, the whole tooth and nothing but the tooth
make you feel guilty? Fear not. It's not unusual to feel this way
because all parents face a daily battle to get their children to
brush their teeth properly and to stop them eating too many sweets.
Black-toothed Ruth Black is a story which tells of the terrible
things which may happen if children fail to brush their teeth
properly. Ruth is a little girl who won't heed her parents'
warnings about cleaning her teeth so, instead of the Tooth Fairies,
she is visited one night by the evil Tooth Devils and flown to
their ivory castle. It is another spine-tingling adventure in the
Monstrous Morals series of stories aimed at scaring children out of
their wits - and their bad habits. As always, there's a happy
ending but Black-Toothed Ruth Black has to grit her teeth and learn
an important lesson first. With the usual eye-catching
illustrations and ingenious rhymes, parents and children will love
this brush with dark side.
The complexities of language education demand that teachers have
the flexibility to be able to adapt their plans during lessons in
order to meet the needs of their students. Yet teachers are trained
to meticulously prepare lesson plans and numerous activities to
keep their students engaged. This can lead to teachers feeling
locked in to the plan they spent time preparing. The Unplanned
Lesson suggests a new paradigm for how to prepare for and conduct
language lessons based on curating what the authors term
“structures.” By focusing on structures that are flexible,
evolvable, repeatable, and memorable, teachers can reduce the
amount of time they spend planning and increase the amount of time
students are engaged in deliberate practice. Designed to integrate
with any syllabus or textbook, The Unplanned Lesson approach aims
to allow teachers to transform their classrooms by giving them more
time to focus on supporting their students’ learning.
