Using literature in the ELT classroom

The Colourful World of Calum McCall
Ron Butlin

Ron Butlin's little tale is a dark little piece, in spite of the title. It's very much a story of loss of dreams and the erosion of natural wonder. This kit is part of a new section from BritLit, is in response to teachers' enquiries. It seems some teachers wanted short and sweet kits - something that could be done in just one or two lessons.
