The best beginner's origami book I have found!
I have tried to learn origami from books before, without any success. That was not the case with this book. The instructions and drawings are amazingly clear. My frustration has turned to delight!

The models in thebook are fun (Jumping Frog, Paper Balloon, Talking Puppet) and practical(Picture Frame, Catch-All Box, Book, Envelope) and decorative (Swan, PeaceCrane). Included are ideas for what to do with the finished models plusmany helpful hints for teaching origami.

This is the perfect book foranyone wishing to learn origami. ... Read more

Book Description
How to Teach Non-Fiction Writing provides a practical, accessible teaching sequence to help teachers of junior classes to teach about the organization and language features of the six non-fiction text types (recount, report, instruction, explanation, persuasion and discussion) and to link non-fiction writing to pupils' work across the curriculum, so they can use content learned in other subject areas as the basis for writing in a particular text type. It will help teachers develop pupils' ability to organize their non-fiction writing appropriately, in terms of text-type, layout and paragraphing and focus on significant language features of the text-types. The teaching sequence is also designed to develop pupils' appreciation of the underlying structures of non-fiction texts, thus linking the acquisition of literacy skills to "thinking skills" in general. ...

The book begins with a series of language games, designed to warm up creativity and strengthen the imagination. This is followed by a series of creative story workshops, based on the writer's own experience both as a teacher and poet running workshops in schools.

Other workshops explore simple ideas for creating new stories, based around simple familiar patterns. The book also offers advice on how to organize an effective workshop for younger children, and demonstrates how to teach story writing in a dynamic, creative and imaginative way in relationship with the KS1 national literacy framework.

Book Description
How to Teach Fiction Writing at Key Stage 3 is a practical manual to help teachers of 11-14 year-olds to develop effective modeling and scaffolding strategies for the teaching of narrative writing. Using a step-by-step approach, based on the 'word/sentence/text level' convention, the book shows how teachers can help pupils to build work in various genres and to move out from these to more complex writing. Each section has a workshop approach that leads into a narrative writing activity, giving pupils the chance to complete a fully realized piece of work at the end each time.

The workshops focus on genre features, the craft of the writer, and specific year-related needs (taken from the KS3 Framework).

The book has a clear progression through KS3, and extension and support activities for the most and least able pupils are provided as an integral part of each section. ... Read more
