Teaching English Through Art

by Rich and Sharon Jeffus

This book is a delightful change from a workbook approach to teaching English. It is a supplement that has over 200 pages of ideas and visuals to inspire writing. Design a puppet and write your own monologue; learn the vocabulary words describing different facial expressions while drawing them; and create your own letterhead while writing letters in correct form are just three of the included lessons. A section on using reference materials is included with drawing six famous people using the grid. Comparing and drawing a conjunction with a bridge; writing haiku and concrete poetry; and poems that describe pictures are just some of the fascinating ideas. Interesting and inspirational pictures are included to inspire writing the different types of paragraphs and the elements of a story. Spend your Fridays doing Visual Manna English--or do it every day to add fun to your English lesson!
