I can imagine how I would be more successful in soliciting creativity and engagement if I gave my creative writing/ drama students these exercises over a textbook that described the formulas of writing or the components of an engaging storyboard... for the innovation in these ideas, this is a curious book for teachers to explore...

Synopsis

    The unit was shipped out quickly and packaged very well,( professional packaging). A visual inspection confirmed the unit was very clean as described by the seller and a quick power up confirmed the unit performed and sounded well. I did encounter a problem upon further testing that the seller was unaware of,however when I notified the seller he responded quickly and was more than fair in assisting me to correct that problem. The unit is of good quality & value & this seller is an asset to eBay.
