This comprehensive listing and discussion of poetic works supports the standards of all areas of the curriculum, helping librarians and teachers working with kindergarten through middle school students. This second edition of Using Poetry Across the Curriculum: Learning to Love Language offers a comprehensive list of poetry anthologies, poetic picture books, and poetic prose works in a wide variety of subject areas. While it maintains the original edition's focus on ideas and resource lists for integration of poetry into all areas of the curriculum, it is thoroughly revised to cover current issues in education and the wealth of new poetry books available. The book is organized by subject areas commonly taught in elementary and middle schools, and, within these, by the national standards in each area. Numerous examples of poetry and poetic prose that can be used to help students understand and appreciate aspects of the standard are listed. A sampling of units that arise from groups of works, writing and performance ideas, and links across the curriculum is also included. While many teaching ideas and topics provide references to the standards they meet, this title is unique in starting with those standards and making links across them.

Films with dream sequences, or a dreamlike quality, allow directors to create their own rules of logic and nature to meet a variety of artistic needs. For instance, an opening dream immediately establishes what a character is feeling; a later dream--or series of them--provides viewers with a glimpse of the climax, and a concluding dream ties up loose ends. (In real life, of course, dreams do not occur at such convenient times or serve such useful purposes.) This book explores why science is lost or distorted in the process of representing dreams on film and why audiences prefer this figurative truth of art over the literal truth of science. Part One discusses changes in form and considers the history of dream theory. Additionally, the physiology of sleeping and dreaming, dream structure, sleep deprivation, dreams under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and waking up, as depicted on film, are examined. Part Two investigates changes in content, and delves into the psychology of sleeping and dreaming, dream interpretation, altered states of consciousness, visions and prophecies, dreams as wish fulfillment, sex and death, nightmares, and reality versus illusion. The author uses theories by Freud, Jung, and current experts in her analyses of dream sequences and their use in film.

This pack of wild dog poems--specifically about poodles and poodle mixes, although applicable to most breeds--skewers oodles of adorably outrageous dog behaviors. Even those rugged four-footed furry friends who would never admit to associating with a doodle have been known to exhibit most of these crazy canine conducts. Using various poetic forms, including haiku, limerick, acrostic, diamante, free verse, and rhyming couplets, poet Leslie C. Halpern shares humorous universal truths about man's best friend in Poodles & Doodles. Unlike ravenous pica-prone puppies who will eat anything, for us, the truth can sometimes be hard to swallow. Including poems about poodles, schnoodles, cockapoos, labradoodles, whoodles, goldendoodles, Aussiedoodles, and dogs in general, this light-hearted poetry will help make those realities about being a dog owner more palatable for readers of all ages. Central Florida author Leslie C. Halpern has won numerous awards for her writing, including First Place Humorous Poetry Award from the National Federation of State Poetry Societies and the Editor's Award for Poetry from the Gwendolyn Brooks Writers Association of Florida. She is president of Orlando Area Poets.
