This is an excellent blend of theory and classroom centred advice. This booklet is in two parts. The first details the main issues in the area (terminology, identification, and general issues concerning gifted and talented students, dealing with such students and the exceptionally gifted student). In this theory a wealth of practical suggestions for both the English Department and the whole school is offered. The second, much larger section is for the English classroom. These resources include material suitable for Year 7 to Year 11 and include a student essay, a student story, argumentative essays, short story starters (setting, fables and Oscar Wilde), some Shakespeare, how to write a film review and more. Finally some further print and internet references on gifted and talented students are offered. You need this booklet. These are the children who will make our future!
