Read an Excerpt!

Do you stay up late studying for the next day’s test or do you stay up late playing video games, figuring you’re going to fail anyway? If you witness a group of friends bullying a new kid at school, do you join in or step up? Do you prefer to spend a lot of time on your own or do you like to be constantly surrounded by other people? All of your decisions, actions, and reactions are part of what we study when we learn about psychology. Human behavior is a fascinating subject because it’s all about you and how you fit into the world around you. Psychology also studies what people do in response to certain stimuli. Why does one person react to test anxiety by studying harder while another person assumes they’ll do badly and gives up? What makes one person join a group doing the wrong thing as another person steps in to do what is right?

Poems can be silly, serious, or fun, just like kids! Whether it’s the sing-song rhythm of a limerick, the serendipitous magic of a found poem, the deceptive simplicity of a haiku, or the easy familiarity of an acrostic poem, children are charmed by poetry. In Explore Poetry! With 25 Great Projects children have fun learning about many different forms of poetry while delving into different literary techniques such as personification, metaphor, and alliteration.
