Description:
Forget the big top, rainbow wigs and oversized shoes. This book tells the story of how a contemporary clown brought his craft to the unlikeliest of places: school! Along the way, he demonstrates how you, too, can awaken your inner clown to energise and motivate your foreign language classroom.
The figure of the clown that we all remember from our trips to the circus as kids has a lesser-known cousin in the contemporary clown. This character is quite different in many ways to the traditional figure of the circus clown and has a lot more in common with teaching than you would think.
In his book, Cathal Carroll shares a wealth of knowledge on the subject of learning in a playful environment. He has developed his own unique style of teaching which blends years of performance experience with traditional teaching techniques to create a dynamic learning environment that is part classroom, part theatre workshop.
Brimming with essential games and exercises for the classroom, Class Clown is a must for any teacher looking to spice up their lessons with useful and effective material that will instantly capture students' attention.
