Acknowledgements
We would like to thank all our many colleagues who we have worked with on Bell Young Learners courses. Ideas develop and change from teacher to teacher and from course to course and get better and better. Many of the ideas in this book have been adapted and developed by ourselves and teachers working on our courses. Our special thanks to all those teachers, particularly to Karen Barnes, Rebecca Hudson and Beverly Close, who have all worked on Island projects of different kinds in the past, and to Helen Wood who first showed the �Elect a President’ activity when we were working at Studio School together.
