Download or read book Read Aloud Plays Classic Reprint written by Horace Holley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Read-Aloud Plays Selves as short stories, but in each case I found that the dramatic element, speech, tended to absorb the imper sonal element of comment and description, so that it proved easier to go on by allowing the characters to establish the situation themselves. As I grew conscious of this tendency, I realized that even for the purpose of reading it might be advantageous to render the short story subject dramatically, since this method is, after all, one of extreme realism, which should also result in an increase of interest. As the series devel oped, however, I perceived that something more than a new short story form was involved; I perceived that the read-aloud play has a distinct character and function of its own. In the long run, everything human rises or falls to the level of speech. The culminating point, even of action the most poignant or emotion the most intimate, is where it finds the right word or phrase by which it is translated into the lives of others. Every literary form has always paid, even though usually un conscious, homage to the drama. But the drama as achieved on the stage includes, for various reasons, only a small portion of its own inherent possibility. Exigen cies of time and machinery, as well as the strong influ ence of custom, deny to the stage the value of themes.

Download or read book The Snowy Day written by Ezra Jack Keats and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. Young readers can enjoy this celebrated classic as a full-sized board book, perfect for read-alouds of all kinds and a great gift for the holiday season. In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in its appeal, this story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. This big, sturdy edition will bring even more young readers to the story of Peter and his adventures in the snow. Ezra Jack Keats was also the creator of such classics as Goggles, A Letter to Amy, Pet Show!, Peter’s Chair, and A Whistle for Willie. (This book is also available in Spanish, as Un dia de nieve.) Praise for The Snowy Day: “Keats made Peter’s world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even more—a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow that’s begging to be enjoyed.” —The Atlantic "Ezra Jack Keats's classic The Snowy Day, winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow."—Publisher's Weekly

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Story and Play Readers, Vol. 2 But, we, as teachers, must not allow ourselves to get into the habit of making the reading period a resting place in the busy day. We must remember that reading in itself. Is the most important of all subjects, because through it, language, our means of intercourse with all peoples in all subjects, is developed. Through reading we have our opportunity to teach our greatest moral and ethical lessons, and to build up, through the appeal to the emotions, the fine well-rounded character of the cultivated man and woman. Does not the teaching of reading really mean teaching our children to understand all the mighty thoughts of the world, whether they be expressed in music, or poetry, or art, or in the characters of the heroes of literature?

Download or read book The Towneley Plays Classic Reprint written by George England and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Towneley Plays To the text thus produced Dr. Furnivall himself added notes of the metres, and at his request the present writer supplied the usual Sidenotes, an interesting and pleasant task in the case of a work of SO great variety and literary value. Dr. Furnivall's further com mands for the supply of an Introduction Were far less agreeable. The Townsley Plays present many problems, more especially as to their language, which deserve to be dealt with by some learned professor, or at any rate by an editor of really wide reading and experience. The learned professor, however, could not be obtained. The difficulty of procuring an introducer threatened to postpone indefinitely the appearance of the new text (a consideration all the more serious since the Surtees edition has long been difficult to procure); and as texts are far more important than introductions, it seemed better to be content to draw attention to a few points of interest rather than further to delay publication.
