Bugs@Play: Puppet Shows in which Insects Confront People-Sized Problems (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

ANTS TALK . . . NO, REALY THEY DO. BUT IN BUGS@PLAY, SO DO BUTTERFLIES, LADYBUGS, AND COCKROACHES. THERE’S EVEN A SINGING GRASSHOPPER. THIS COLLECTION OF PUPPET PLAYS IS PERFECT FOR READING—IN GROUPS OR ALONE—AND THE PLAYS ARE JUST AS WELL SUITED FOR PERFORMANCES IN THE CLASSROOM, AT CAMP, HOME, OR IN ANY SETTING WHERE CHILDREN—FROM THE ELEMENTARY GRADES ON UP—ENJOY FINDING OUT ABOUT THE NATURAL WORLD. PLAYWRIGHT ANN BLUM’S CHARMING, SIX-LEGGED CHARACTERS TAKE ON PEOPLE-SIZED PROBLEMS THAT ILLUSTRATE HOW TO IDENTIFY INSECTS, THE INSECT LIFE CYCLE, INSECT DEFENSE STRATEGIES, AND EVEN THE WAYS THAT SOME INSECTS MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR EVERYBODY TO LIVE IN. WITH FUN AT THE FOREFRONT, BLUM ALSO BLENDS IN LESSONS IN VOCABULARY SKILLS AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT—SEAMLESSLY. PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, TEACHERS, AFTER-SCHOOL SUPERVISORS, NATURE CENTER STAFF AND MORE WILL FIND THE PLAYS AN INVALUABLE RESOURCE. BLUM INCLUDES HELPFUL LESSON NOTES TO AID ADULTS IN TALKING TO KIDS ABOUT THE CREATURES DEPICTED IN EACH PLAY AND TO AID BUDDING ARTISTS EAGER TO MAKE THEIR OWN INSECT PUPPETS. THE ANTS, BY THE WAY, TALK IN A LANGUAGE OF CHEMICAL SCENTS, EACH WITH ITS OWN PARTICULARY MESSAGE. BUT LET THEM TELL YOU ABOUT IT.
