"Just Like Me" is a book by Louise Gooding that celebrates the lives and work of 40 neurologically and physically diverse individuals who have broken stereotypes. The book includes colorful illustrations, biographies, and accurate accounts of various conditions such as deafness, Asperger's, meningitis, dwarfism, and Down Syndrome. It aims to provide positive and uplifting examples for children and young people, promoting empathy and understanding. Another book, "Acting Exercises for Creative Writing" by Sam Marsden, offers practical activities for drama and English teachers to enhance storytelling skills. The book suggests activities such as creating made-up book titles, presenting stories in freeze frames, using music as a narrative stimulus, and inventing stories based on chosen props. The book's six sections provide a range of ideas to foster creativity in classrooms, and many of the exercises can be adapted for English lessons as well. [Extracted from the article] |
