Beschreibung
"Plato said that "Philosophy begins in wonder," and Thoughtings provides a wonderfully rich variety of ideas, concepts, mysteries and questions for children to wonder about. Each Thoughting poem aims to stimulate curiosity about some aspect of young people's lives and - as an optional learning avenue - the nature of the language we use to understand it. Consequently teachers will find this a 'quick entry' resource for stimulating thinking and communication skills in the classroom. "Will Ord, Thinking Education Ltd "A stimulating and imaginative range of catalysts to thought. "Nigel Warburton, The Open University "Thoughtings is a delightful, clever, rich resource. It pokes, prods and tickles childrens' minds by turning life's conundra into light and inviting poemy thingies. Accessible, funny and provocative, this collection brings out, rather than stuffs in, learning and will guide your pupils to the lost goals of education: to question; to think; to enquire. Thoughtings creatively combines the ancient art form of poetry with the ancient Socratic method of question-asking to produce a warm and welcome counterpoint to the strictures of a utilitarian curriculum. "Paul Ginnis, Independent Trainer and Author "If you want to do some thinking aerobics and some brain gymnastics then this is the book for you. I always thought that philosophy and poetry were linked by more than the letter P and this book proves it. "Ian McMillan, Poet, Broadcaster and Comedian
