Scripted Fantasy in the Classroom

Many teachers have tried simple relaxation techniques in their classrooms and been surprised by their success. This step by step guide to the technique of scripted fantasy shows how the forces of the imagination can be harnessed to improve the social skills and classroom performance of students of all ages and all abilities. It gives advice on how to organise the classroom for fantasy work, on how to guide students in sharing their fantasy experiences through discussion, written work, and art, and on the results that can be obtained outside the formal classroom setting in work with students with learning difficulties, in stress management programmes for students and teachers and in other areas such as sport and health.
