Word Magic, Poetry as a Shared Adventure

Walter McVitty

4.9/5 (26656 ratings)

Description:One of the most pleasurable and long-lasting gifts any adult can give to a child is a love of poetry—a love which comes through a joyful sharing of the rich experience which poetry can offer. This new book has been written especially for PETA by a select group of outstanding teachers and celebrated poets from Australia and overseas. It offers insights into the nature of poetry itself and the ways in which we can all help children learn to read and write (and even ‘‘perform’’) poetry with life-long pleasure. It also includes an annotated guide to almost 100 best poetry books. Word Magic; poetry as a shared adventure is a unique publication. Never before has such a wealth of expert inspiration, information and ideas about poetry been made so accessible to those who work with children. It marks yet another practical and significant contribution by the Primary English Teaching Association to the quality of education in our schools and homes. The book contains the following articles: "Poetry and the Magic of Words," by Colin Thiele; "Poetry and the Child," by Charles Causley; "A Verse Along the Way," by Max Fatchen; "The Poet as Mental Mathematician," by Doug MacLeod; "Inside Poetry: A Shared Adventure," by Aidan Chambers; "Poetry and the Pre-School Child: A Personal Reflection," by Clare Scott-Mitchell; "Large Swans Fall off Cliffs: Large Strawberries Don't," by Pat Edwards; "How Not to 'Teach' Poetry," by Moira Robinson; "A Poetry Workshop," by Libby Hathorn; "Teaching Poetry Writing: Part of 'Process'," by R. D. Walshe; "Poetry and Performance 1: Teacher as Performer," by Gordon Winch; "Poetry and Performance 2: Children as Performers," by Sean Monahan; "Poetry Books: An Annotated Guide to Collection-Building," by Walter McVitty; and "75 Things to Do with a Favourite Poem," by Pat Edwards.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
