Growing up in a Christian fundamentalist home imprinted the fear of darkness, sleep, and death, and it stuck in my psyche and soul over time. The talk I heard at home and at church was all about sin, damnation, and punishment.

Listen and Draw is an EFL/ESL teacher's resource book of simple, ready-to-use classroom drawing activities that can be used to: provide a quick filler supplement and enrich a lesson add variety and provide a change of pace These activities, in which the students make simple drawings according to verbal instructions, develop the important skill of listening comprehension.

In 1985 they were incorporated into my book Listen and Perform, and in 2000 into Listen and Act, a book used to teach English in the Amazonas state middle schools.
