The Windows Project has always based its workshops on games, and these cover a wide
range of ways into writing poems or developing particular skills.
The games will be of most use to teachers and playleaders, but they have been used successfully across a wide age and ability range
and anyone interested in promoting poetry writing or literacy may find them of interest..
Since 1980 the Project has published workshop reports combining information on method with young peoples' writing.
The The Windows Workshop handbook is available both in printed and electronic format,
with a set of photocopiable worksheets.
It runs, however, to almost 80 pages of text and over 30 worksheets - so is not wholly browser friendly!
The e-format package consists of the e-book, the bitmapped worksheets, and the workshop games for Win95.
A feature-limited version of the e-book is available for download from this page.
The original book version is available in Acrobat .pdf form for mac users.
Most of the pages are available on site and if you want the printed or disk-based version you can order from here.
