Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Opening Doors to Famous Poetry and Prose, Bob Cox introduced teachers to engaging strategies which use literary heritage texts as the stimulus for excellent learning. This new companion book, Opening Doors to Quality Writing, for ages 6 to 9, puts the focus on pupils producing quality writing - developing their literacy skills and a love of reading in the process. In the course of his educational consultancy work, Bob has seen many teachers successfully use the scope and depth which literature can offer to inspire high standards, mastery learning and, above all, a love of language in its many forms. Schools using the 'opening doors' strategies told Bob they led to: More teacher empowerment and confidence. More knowledge building for pupils and teachers. A growing confidence with literature, including poetry. Planning from the top becoming a norm. Planning for mastery learning becoming a norm. Improved comprehension skills. Improved quality writing and associated excitement. They also asked Bob for further examples of inspiring, quality texts, and more ways in which pupils of all abilities can access them. Bob was only too happy to oblige. These 15 units of work cover poetry and prose: each unit provides exciting stimulus material, creative ideas for writing projects, and differentiation and support strategies, meaning all pupils can achieve the quality writing objectives. All the units should help teachers facilitate understanding of the challenging texts and maximise the huge potential for quality writing. Discover a multitude of ready-to-use ideas, inspired by classic literature and great writers' works, along with plenty of new strategies and advice. The Opening Doors to Quality Writing series won the 2017 Education Resources Awards in the Educational Book Award category.

It offers an overview of contemporary issues and helps to stimulate the type of dialogue that can bring about the actions that will make a real difference for the children, young people and families in our care." - Rita Pfund, in the Preface.

Download or read book Rap Poetry written by Gerard Vincent Ali and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My humble thoughts about this book, if you would allow me. RAP POETRY, "the next level" is a bold, exciting, fun to read fiction book. Saying that, I must add that this book is based on my life, my deeds, my thoughts, and most of all, the experience life has given me; so to say it is all fiction would be very far from the truth. I can probably pinpoint a situation in my life for every poem in this book and I believe my readers will also be able to, but this is not my intention for writing this letter. Traditionally poetry has not been the most successful form of writing when it comes to a healthy income, at least this is what I have been told, hopefully I'm wrong and you the publisher will prove there is no truth in this theory. I think this book Rap poetry "the next level" can be a great success, it's a bold, exciting and fun book to read, but what is even more important is that it will appeal to both young and old, something that most poets have not been able to do, and if they have I personally haven't seen their work. I have read poetry throughout my life and I have enjoyed it, at least sometimes, but to be quite honest if I was a teenager and entered a book store and happened to pick up a book with poems it would not keep my interest for more than two minutes. I only make this comment because I myself went searching for poetry simply to get some idea of how youths today respond to, or more so, what appeals to youths today in poetry. Not only was I un-captivated by any present material but I could not find one young person that had any interest in poetry, maybe I did not search far enough, personally I think this is sad. Rap poetry "the next level" is a bold step, but I believe it is as it says, The Next Level in rap and it dares any one who reads it too make it their own. I could have gone to a studio, put music to my lyrics, make them into songs as I have been advised to do on more than one occasion and who knows, maybe it will turn out that this is what I should have done. You see my goal, my aim, is to prove that people of all ages still do contrary to popular belief can see the beauty in lyrics of a poem before it becomes a hit song, that they do have an imagination and some sort or vision. The truth of it is, a song, and even more so a good song is one where music complements good lyrics to create something beautiful, but unfortunately writers are straying away from good lyrics to simply good rhythms and beats. I guess to each his own. Thank you in advance for taking time to read my book and my comments.

Download or read book Rap Rhyme and Rhythm written by Paul Alfred Barton and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wordrider's This and That is a mixture of poems and song lyrics about a range of feelings. Words about love, broken hearts, things that might be silly, and abuse by husband, boyfriend, friend or family member. I try to convey feelings that might have you touching the sky, walking with a rain cloud overhead, or maybe shaking your head in wonderment. You might laugh, cry, or be left scratching your head. My hope is that my poems or songs will let someone know they aren't alone in what they have been through, and that tomorrow can be better. That faith will see you through. I give thanks to God for giving me these words to write. I dedicate this book to my mom, my family, my friends, and each and every person, who has helped me along the way, even the ones I don't know. I thank them, one and all, each one that took time to read my poems even though they might not have wanted to read them. Some people say some of my poems or songs lyrics are off the wall or too much about love. To this, I can only say: "The reason I write off the wall stuff is I play on the ceiling a lot." and "It may not be love but it is close enough to chocolate to taste good."

While traditional poetry has its charm, rap poetry carries rhythm, culture, and a modern narrative. Dive into each poem with an appreciation for its beats and the stories it tells. Culturally responsive literature, at its core, acknowledges and respects the diverse backgrounds of its readers. It serves as a mirror where individuals can see reflections of their own lives, challenges, joys, and histories. "Floetry" does exactly that. For the young reader from the bustling streets of Brooklyn to the rhythmic pulse of Johannesburg, this book offers stories and reflections that feel familiar. But it's not just a mirror-it's also a window, offering readers glimpses into lives and cultures that might be different from their own, fostering empathy, understanding, and mutual respect. Moreover, in an educational landscape where engagement is paramount, the fusion of rap and poetry in "Floetry" offers educators and parents a dynamic tool. It aligns with the ethos of culturally responsive teaching, which emphasizes the importance of connecting instructional materials and practices with the diverse cultural backgrounds of learners. The power of "Floetry" lies in its ability to motivate and engage, to inspire a love for reading through its authentic, relatable, and rhythmic narratives.
