Light up with English: An English Literature workbook for CSEC(R) English B - Prose is the first workbook of its kind to be added to the Caribbean educational landscape. It was designed based on the learning objectives of the CSEC(R) English syllabus in order to make classroom instruction more effective and maximize learning outcomes. It is my aim that while learning the content for the CSEC(R) syllabus, students will make connections to their unique life experiences. Also, they should increase their knowledge and appreciation of the cultures presented in the different short stories and novels. This workbook incorporates activities which cater to the varied intelligences in the classroom. It also incorporates the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT), formative assessment, games, rewards and collaborative learning to make learning more interactive and fun. It is believed that the nature of the activities will allow students to become excited about learning both English Language and Literature. It is my hope that this Workbook will ignite, in students, the desire to do well in English, and the flame will continue to burn outside the classroom and far beyond their high school years.

Gardening in the Tropics contains a rich Caribbean world in poems offered to readers everywhere. Olive Senior's rich vein of humour can turn wry and then sharp in satire of colour-consciousness, class-consciousness and racism. But her predominant tone is the verbal equivalent of a pair of wide-open arms.

In 1735, five Maroon boys are ready to be initiated as warriors. They have prepared long and hard for this day, and must now pass a sequence of tests. How the boys approach this, the most important day of their lives, says much about how they will respond to the challenges ahead. When they encounter a Redcoat troop in the forest near their village, the defence of the village and surrounding Maroon communities will depend on these boys, their training, courage, and intelligence. On this occasion, their community depends on them for its survival, but their initiation as warriors also teaches them lifelong lessons about loyalty, responsibility, trustworthiness and friendship.
