Here are some ideas for the kind of sessions that are possible when exploring books.
Girls into Books ~ With this year's big push on getting boys to read more, the girls are starting to say "What about us?". How about a day that combines drama, creative writing & great fiction titles? We'll take a close look at five authors - your choice, their choice or my choice.
A Christmas Carol ~ This is a workshop you might want to have in December. One Doncaster pupil said he didn't believe he could spend a day with Dickens and enjoy it.
Shakespeare for Year 9 ~ Now that the SATs have gone, you're free to do a whole play instead of chunks of it. Why not have a drama workshop to kickstart your study of character and plot.
Booked Up ~ A drama day exploring the 12 titles offered free this year to Year Seven pupils. You can have it as a round-robin style day, delivering one-hour workshops to different classes or as a day of deeper exploration for one group of Year Sevens. The aim is that they will be enthused to swap books with each other.
Boys into Books ~ A drama day for up to 30 pupils, exploring five titles from the SLA's long list of choices. My selection involves Dream On, Boy, Percy Jackson, Blood Beast & Tins, but you can choose your own selection for me to work with if you wish. Schools will often pair up keen Year 9 pupils with younger boys who they'd like to inspire.
Year 6 Book Booster ~ On an agreed range of books, why not take your class into the hall for a morning or an afternoon of exploration through drama.
