The Really Useful Drama Book offers busy primary school teachers a
collection of step-by-step drama sessions, inspired by high-quality
picturebooks, that will engage children and promote enjoyable
learning across the curriculum. Lively and thoughtful, the
interactive drama sessions are structured around a wide range of
texts, including wordless picturebooks, postmodern picturebooks,
short stories, well-known texts by recognisable authors and some
you may not have come across before, all chosen for their power to
foster curiosity. The step-by-step sessions can also be adapted to
incorporate your own ideas and passions, allowing you to structure
them for the topics you're exploring with your class. Each session
is structured around two texts and offers a guide to the drama
strategies used, teaching objectives, ideas for writing
opportunities, problems, emotions and challenges to explore, and a
clear guide to exploring each text. Ten key themes are explored:
Suspense Prejudice Friendship Rhyme and rhythm War and conflict
Nature Overcoming fear Possessions and obsessions Dreams Short
stories With a focus on the crucial role of imagination in the
classroom, The Really Useful Drama Book helps reclaim a purposeful,
passionate pedagogy and shows teachers how drama can place children
right at the heart of a story, encouraging their desire to ask
questions, solve problems and search out new information.

From one of Australia's most acclaimed authors, a dazzling and
deeply imagined exploration of ambition, natural marvels, and
scientific discovery, and one of history's most significant crises
of faith. As a boy of thirteen, Syms Covington leaves his home in
Bedford and goes to sea, passing into manhood as he sails the
world, surveying Patagonia, and losing his virginity in the Pampas.
Aboard the HMS Beagle, he enters the service of Charles Darwin as
an energetic and precocious fifteen-year-old, and in the course of
their voyages together he shoots and collects hundreds of specimens
for his "gent," specimens that become fundamental to the
formulation of Darwin's theory of evolution. Now a crusty,
eccentric, near-deaf old man, Covington has settled in Australia
and is awaiting the arrival of the first copy of On the Origin of
Species. Beset by guilt over participating in a work that will
shake the human worldview to its foundations, he nonetheless
wonders what part of himself might be reflected in Darwin's oeuvre.
Mr. Darwin's Shooter captures its time with rare and dazzling
skill, evoking an unforgettable--but forgotten--man at a watershed
moment in history.
