Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music

'Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow Bloom and grow forever' Often dismissed as kitsch sentimentalism Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music has proven an enduringly popular and surprisingly influential cultural icon both within the field of musical theatre and the wider world.

This book examines how the musical heralded the end of an era on Broadway; its reinvention of history and biography; how the film has influenced future stage productions; the ways in which it put child performers centre stage; and how nearly 60 years after its stage debut the musical still has a direct impact on the modern world from the United States to the Middle East. In this series of short essays Julian Woolford re-examines the musical from seven different perspectives revealing the ways in which it continues to impact the 21st century. | Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music

With the goal of giving every teacher the knowledge and skill to teach writing with confidence it makes sense of the history and ‘science’ of writing synthesising the debates and presenting a wealth of usable evidence about how children develop most efficiently as successful writers. It trains teachers to be an expert in how pupils learn to write from the big picture of planning editing and revising your writing to the vital importance of grammar and spelling with accuracy. Highly practical strategies and easy-to use classroom activities are included to help teachers seize opportunities across the curriculum every school day to teach the critical writing process. Closing the Writing Gap will guide teachers at every stage of their career and when used with Alex Quigley’s much-loved books on Vocabulary and Reading gives school leaders evidence-based approaches to literacy that can be applied across a school or a group of schools.
