구성 및 특징: More than a book! - 저명한 영국 출판사 Bayard에서 그 이름을 걸고 내놓은 정통 아동용 교양서. 월간지 형식으로 출판되지만 시리즈로 나오는 단행본 성격의 교양서로 기획되었으며, 인체에 무해한 특수 인쇄용지를 사용한 최고급 화보와 사진으로 소장가치가 높음.
- 매 호마다 세계, 역사, 과학, 동물을 기본 내용으로 두고, 핵심 토픽을 정해서 관련 정보를 이야기, 화보, 실험, 만화, 게임, 퀴즈 등을 활용해 그물망처럼 짜놓은 체계적인 편집과 다채로운 구성.
- 기대효과: 호기심과 흥미를 불러일으키는 다채로운 구성으로 영국식 영어의 품격 있는 어휘와 문장을 자연스럽게 익힐 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 폭넓은 지식을 습득하면서 자신도 모르는 사이에 체계적이고 창조적인 사고력을 키울 수 있음.
AdventureBox is Bayard Presse's second English magazine in the series after StoryBox. AdventureBox is designed to be a childs first foray into independent reading. It is designed for children between the ages of 6 and 9. The magazines design is simple. One long story divided into short chapters which is designed to increase a childs reading stamina. By the time they are 9 years of age, generally, the children are able to read straight through and enjoy the story. It also has games, a comic strip and activity ideas included as well. AdventureBox is a good follow on from StoryBox as the level of English rises as the series of the three magazines progresses. The stories in AdventureBox are all fiction and are tailored to the age group of the subscribers ie. Ages 6 to 9. From September 2009, AdventureBox will follow the tale of Ariol, the funny donkey and his friends star in gentle, poetical stories of everyday life. Like StoryBox, AdventureBox is also subscribed to by ESL students as they advance their level of English. The Box series provides a gradual rise in the level/standard of English and therefore provides students with English as their second language a gradual increase in their knowledge of the language.
