Imagination in Teaching and Learning: The Middle School Years - Paperback

by Kieran Egan (Author)

It is widely believed that a child's imagination ought to be
stimulated and developed in education. Yet, few teachers
understand what imagination is or how it lends itself to
practical methods and techniques that can be used easily in
classroom instruction. In this book, Kieran Egan-winner of
the prestigious Grawemeyer Award for his work on
imagination-takes up where his Teaching as Story Telling
left off, offering practical help for teachers who want to
engage, stimulate, and develop the imaginative and learning
processes of children between the ages of eight to fifteen.
