Davey’s capacity to perceive the world in a multi-sensory way is one of the talents he passes to Sam. For example, favourite food becomes “…daydreams in your mouth…Or wishes down your throat…” Discuss everyday items and experiences, or use photos of familiar places, and help children develop their use of metaphor by exploring senses and linking one positive idea with another: a delicious taste is wonderful, as are star beams, so favourite food could become “star beams on your tongue”. You can’t taste a star beam; you see it – the effect is achieved by mixing sensory experiences, and it takes a great deal of imagination. As Sam finds, it’s hard at first, but improves with exercise. Connecting the curriculum Despite his Mum's insistence, Sam doesn't want to be friends with Davey. He thinks Davey's a first class, grade A, total moron.

Many scenes in the book lend themselves to exploration through dramatic reconstruction, or even just freezeframing.

Chapter 1 is the introductory chapter. It first tells us that the scene is in a school setting. The students get some homework; to write a poem (link to how the whole of the book is written in different forms of poetry). Don't quite know why I haven't read this before.
