This book contains seven tried-and-tested creative writing projects for pupils aged 8–14. Each project is delivered through a series of workshops and enables pupils to explore a literary genre or writing style, discuss themes and topics and receive constructive feedback about their writing. The projects cover topics such as identity, cultural heritage, tolerance, empathy, morality, dreams and much more.

Teachers wanting to run creative writing projects will find this book easy to follow, practical and timesaving. Each project allows students to:

• explore a certain literary genre or writing style in detail

• be creative and have fun while learning

• think about, talk about and discuss themes and topics

• receive constructive feedback about their writing

• pursue their own ideas

• see themselves as ‘real’ writers with a ‘real’ audience

• understand that writing can be enjoyable, artistic and relaxing

• experience creativity to improve their wellbeing.

These ready-made projects are invaluable for teachers who are looking for new and successful creative writing projects for a range of students. They will enable teachers to immediately start making a difference to their students’ confidence and writing skills, allowing them to be as creative and imaginative as possible and use creativity as a springboard for their own writing.

First, we were told we all needed to have HRT to remain interesting for our husbands. Then, we were told it was going to give us cancer and put us in an early grave. Next, we were told HRT was safe and we had to take it, or we''d all end up with crippling brain fog, quitting our jobs and descending into dementia as the economy collapsed around us.

On the other side of the fence are those who argue that menopause is natural, it doesn''t need treating, and a cold-water swim could fix everything.

No wonder we''re more confused than ever.

Why has this happened? What does the evidence say? MenoWars explains why menopause is such a political hot potato, taking into account the history of gender bias in health and health research, the void and how it''s filled, and what the evidence actually says. It answers questions like:- will HRT prevent dementia?- what you can do help your brain?- will HRT prevent heart disease?- what you can do to help your heart? ...and much more.

MenoWars explains the silent changes you can''t see, and which need to be sorted, and why. Importantly, it not only shows why we''re arguing, it outlines where the science is heading so we can live longer, better, healthier lives in perimenopause and throughout the decades we spend in post-menopause.
