Abstract
Four doctoral students and their professor contemplate the value of play in their high school and college classrooms. They discuss their experiences teaching children’s books, student illustrations, and excerpts from magazines and newspapers that convey the intricacies of the English language through homonyms, homophones, homographs, and polysemy.
