'Ready to Fly'takes traditional songs from around the English-speaking world and explores the stories, histories, myths and competing legends that surround their creation and enduring popularity. In addition, original songs in established styles have been created on enduring themes in the English classroom: child-parent relations, love, loneliness, friendship, exile, injustice, protest and the sheer love of a rousing tune. Resourceful teachers will soon discover that these are more than 'time fillers' for a sluggish day in the classroom. The material covering the 16 songs in this collection allows teachers and students to choose from a wide variety of tasks targeting the four language skills. Includes traditional, folk, rock, pop, reggae and rap.
