This book provides short and snappy activities for practitioners to use as starting points to develop emotional resilience in the children they work with.

It’s much easier now to access art online and bring inspirational pieces into a setting without having to buy postcards or visit an art gallery.

Monologues for Women by Women

Teaching Playwriting

Author name?

Paul Gardiner

A diverse set of monologues representing a range of characters in age, ethnicity and lived experience, Monologues for Women by Women is just that: an opportunity for female performers to celebrate the opportunities inherent in allowing women to represent themselves.

Despite strong evidence that playwriting is both an engaging and rewarding activity for young people, it is still under-utilised in the classroom. Teaching Playwriting is an essential resource for teachers wanting to gain the skills and confidence necessary to introduce playwriting to their students.

Featuring the unheard voices of women in the criminal justice system, this body of work itself is by necessity diverse, but united by the stories of women in the justice system which inevitably bringing themes of poverty, family, love, motherhood, friendship, money, reproductive labour and freedom.

Based on rich research and clearly explained theoretical concepts, the author explores the lessons from creativity theory that will provide the teacher with the skills and knowledge necessary to empower students’ writing and creativity.

This anthology brings together 10 new plays by some of the UK’s most prolific and current writers and artists, alongside notes on each of the texts, exploring performance for schools and youth groups. Publishes 13th June 2019

Callimachus was one of the most important Greek poets, and can also be one of the most rewarding to read. He was a pivotal figure in the history of ancient literature and an influential presence in later ancient poetry, including Catullus and Vergil. Yet his work is not read and enjoyed as much as it could be. This new volume in the popular Ancients in Action series seeks to bring Callimachus to a wide audience, and is intended for the non-specialist reader and student, assuming no knowledge of Greek. The book is organised in thematic chapters, rich in quotation (in translation), with selective annotations and guidance for further study and reading. Publishes 4th April 2019

Volpone

Teaching Literature in Modern Foreign Languages

Ben Jonson

Fotini Diamantidaki

The sharpest, funniest comedy about money and morals in the 17th century is still the sharpest and funniest about those things in the 21st. The full, modernised play text is accompanied by incisive commentary notes which communicate the devastating comic energy of Volpone’s satire.

A practical guide to how stories, plays and poetry can be an integral part of modern foreign language lessons, promoting comprehension and cultural awareness.

The updated introduction provides a firm grounding in the play’s social and literary contexts, demonstrates how careful close-reading can expand your enjoyment of the comedy, and provides a clear picture of how the main relationships in the play function on the page and stage.

Suitable for trainee teachers, teachers in schools and teacher educators, this book shows how literature can be an essential tool for developing students’ cultural awareness as well as language skills.
