Teaching English Through Art
This book is a delightful change from a workbook approach to teaching English. We have revised this very popular book for the first time in 12 years, making it a cutting edge book for visual and kinesthetic learning. Your kids who hate writing will love this approach. It is a supplement that has over 200 pages of ideas and visuals to inspire writing. After you have completed a lesson on the different kinds of sentences in comic strip mode, you design a puppet and write your own monologue; learn the vocabulary words describing different facial expressions while drawing them; and create your own letterhead while writing letters in correct form are just three of the included lessons. A section on using reference materials is included with drawing six famous people using the grid. We also have added a portion on famous writers who were also artists such as Edgar Allan Poe and Robert Lewis Stephenson. Comparing and drawing a conjunction with a bridge; writing haiku and concrete poetry; and poems that describe pictures are just some of the fascinating ideas. Interesting and inspirational pictures are included to inspire writing the different types of paragraphs and the elements of a story.
Expanding Your Horizons Through Words
This book was written by a teacher with 37 years experience in continuing education at the University of Arkansas. It is a perfect book for junior high and high school students wanting to hone vocabulary skills. This is a great resource for students preparing for ACT or SAT tests. It enhances vocabulary skills in a variety of exciting visual ways using some of Rich's Jeffus's impacting images. Images help visual and kinesthetic learners remember meanings and word syntax.
