Poetry, Prose and Playfulness for Teachers and Learners begins with an engaging anthology of pieces written by students and teachers. This is complemented by examples and descriptions of writing games and activities to get the imagination going and the pen moving. These include some well-tried practices, such as getting objects to speak, and some stimulating work with whiteboards, maps and flip-charts. Poetry, Prose and Playfulness for Teachers and Learners costs pound;5 from Leicestershire Local Education Authority.
