Activities are designed to get children thinking about and describing what they see, hear, smell, taste and the thoughts which pass through their minds, re-enforcing their basic grammar and widening their vocabulary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe aim is to get children writing for enjoyment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe assignments are a springboard from which ideas are formed and then developed. They are structured to encourage spontaneous thought and to allow the writer to follow ideas; freeing the conscious mind from restraint to simply write. Above all, they are for children to have fun, to help them tap into emotions and imagination - which may well surprise both them and you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGet Children Writing\u003c\/i\u003e brings together clear objectives, teachers' notes, and examples of techniques, styles, and formats drawn from classic children's literature into one classroom-ready sourcebook. Many of the assignments can be adapted to suit children younger or older than 8-11.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe all love a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40832105644129,"sku":"9781915261748","price":15.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26724625.jpg?v=1721986038","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781915261748-get-children-writing-creative-writing-ex","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
