Synopsis

Imagine That...is a hands-on user-friendly manual for stimulating creative thinking, talking and writing in the classroom. It combines many recent ideas of educational importance - such as multiple intelligence theory, emotional intelligence and preferential learning styles - with effective strategies for implementing these concepts via a range of practical activities. These can be used throughout the curriculum and across a wide age-range with children of all abilities. What the Book Covers Outlines a straightforward and workable model of the mind that incorporates recent findings in brain research with powerful activities to promote learning and creativity. Explores the nature of creative thinking and how this can be effectively driven through an ethos of positive encouragement, mutual support and celebration of success and achievement. Links content and process within the learning environment. Addresses the emotional components of the educational experience, and how these can be optimised to enhance self-esteem and confidence in the learner. Provides nearly 100 practical and immediately useable classroom activities and games that can be used in isolation, or in combination, to help meet the requirements and standards of the National Curriculum. In short, Imagine That...empowers children to learn how to learn.
