Discover our new resources for the Cambridge International Primary and Lower Secondary Curriculum Frameworks Your learners will develop their English skills as they explore different settings for stories and discuss the difference between myths and legends. You'll find a range of international fiction, non-fiction, poetry and drama throughout the book to help learners develop their understanding of different genres and text types. Each unit is packed with activities that cover reading, writing, speaking and listening, as well as opportunities to develop 21st century skills - such as collaboration and critical thinking. Units end with a project, like planning props for a play, to help students communicate confidently and apply their learning to real-world scenarios.
Born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 1958, the poet Sarah Lindsay works as a copy editor and proofreader in Greensboro, North Carolina. She is the author of Primate Behavior (Grove Press Poetry Series, 1997) which was a finalist for the National Book Award; Mount Clutter (Grove Press Poetry Series, 2002); and Twigs and Knucklebones (Copper Canyon Press, 2008). A graduate of St. Olaf College and the UNC-Greensboro MFA program in creative writing, she apprenticed for a few years at Unicorn Press, learning to set type, print and bind books by hand. She plays the cello with friends in a quartet that is sometimes a trio or quintet, and lives with her husband and small dog among toppling piles of books. In 2009, Sarah received the M. Howard and Barbara M.J. Wood prize from the Poetry Foundation and a Lannan Literary Fellowship.
