Abstract:
"In her newest book, teacher researcher and bestselling author Karen Gallas carefully investigates imagination in the classroom to understand its function in literacy learning. Using rich examples from her elementary classrooms, she proposes that imagination is a central, but untapped, component of learning across all subject areas -- language arts, science, social studies, and math. Getting to the heart of a theme which has been a strong undercurrent in her previous books. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
