Around

(Five 64-page workbooks plus
64-page Teacher's Notes with 3 Multimedia CDs)
Date of Publication: 6 April 2008
Read Around has been specially designed for the secondary school classroom, and is closely correlated with the requirements of the National Curriculum in English, Key Stages 3 and 4. The texts presented in the Read Around series are taken from all around the world. All 5 workbooks promote engagement with the chosen texts through a method known as 'emotion tracking pedagogy'. Read Around 1 explores a short story from India, introducing the literary device of ‘imagery’. Read Around 2 presents a short story from Kenya, exploring ‘onomatopoeia’ and ‘alliteration’. Read Around 3 offers a short story from South Africa, and focuses on ‘metaphor’ and ‘simile’. Read Around 4 centres on a short story of South African-Indian origin. This Read Around extends the notion of ‘metaphor’ presented in Read Around 3, demanding more of the learner to play with language independently. Read Around 5 explores a short story from Malaysia, introducing the literary device of ‘point of view’.
