Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments Anyway, I was excited about this book, because it is *about* poetry and about finding your voice through poetry. Quite literally! A young androgynous child is made fun of because they don't speak. it seems a kind of voluntary mutism. But the new fabulous and vibrant teacher doesn't seem to mind and knows just how to handle this shy child. They are working on poetry, writing their own and the child is swept away. They feel something growing inside them. It's an empowering book. Although the child is anxious and apprehensive and the challenges they face in walking to the front of the class and read their poetry seem like walking in strong headwinds or climbing a mountain, but they persevere and their words ride out "tinkling at the windows, [and] jangling on the desks, whizzing around [their] smiling classmates" and they realize something very important. An all-zombie-all-the-time zombiefest, featuring a bunch of grade-school kids, including protagonist Stink and his happy comrades. Learn to hone your “resonators". At the core of beautiful singing is the ability to create resonance, which is when your notes take on a rich, full sound. Listen to any opera singer to hear resonance at its best. Your voice echoes in your chest, mouth, and throat to gain depth. When you are singing with resonance, you feel a slight buzzing or vibrating feeling. To develop resonance, think about your voice's “placement.” Where do you feel the sound coming from? How does it move as you open your lips or move your tongue? Everyone is different, but there are some tips to keep in mind: Allison Colpoys’ stunning illustrations explode in a riot of colour, perfectly depicting the kind and expansive Miss Flotsam described by Coelho: the kind of teacher everyone would love to have. This visual treat of a book is filled with Coelho’s love for words and the magic of stories and rhyme, all of which have the power to transport us to other places – and the power to give us confidence, if we believe in our own voice.

Mrs Foster was the teacher that first made me want to be a teacher myself and it was the way she read to us that did it. For years when reading I Am David, The Silver Sword and Children of the Oregon Trail I would see Mrs Foster’s lips when reading. I used to love watching her and listening to her read. These three books are still my three all time favourites and ones that I always share with classes of my own, books I chose to write about at University too. I owe much to Mrs Foster and feel sad that I do not know where she is in the world anymore as I would love to see her again and thank her for setting me on my way. Watch your pitches. Depending on where your natural pitch and pitch variety are right now, you may need to work on this a lot, or just a little. Work on your overall pitch by consciously trying to speak in a lower tone, as often as you can remember. It's important to do this gradually though, just around a half-tone lower at a time. Work on your pitch variety by injecting different pitches in your sentences to add interest and emotion.

Progress with shorter inhalations and longer hissing until you can breathe in for 1 count and exhale for 20.
