What do you think the world would be like without imagination? There would be no Iphone‚no car ‚no light bulb. The world would be useless to anything. The first humans would be eaten within a day. That is why I think imagination is important. If no one had imagined a machine that tells time the world would be a disaster zone. All presidential elections would be messed up.

Sometimes there are children who will tease others for being different. They may be too young to understand how much of an impact their words or actions will make on another‚ but no child says or does anything considered mean without knowing that it will cause a negative reaction from another who wears glasses or is fatter‚ taller or smaller than them.

The relevance of Shakespeare is‚ in my opinion‚ unquestionable‚ even in contemporary times. Not only is his contribution to the English language immense in its proportions‚ but also enduring. Even today‚ William Shakespeare is a household name the world over. He is quite literally‚ the figure-head of English literature‚ even to the average layman.

This links to his theory of a ‘spiral’ curriculum where teaching is first taught enactive‚ secondly iconic and thirdly symbolic. This theory is seen in schools today as teachers review lessons‚ but in more depth as children get older. Learning
