Product Description

Product Description
A practical manual for teachers, to be used directly in the classroom. The book begins with a series of language games, designed to warm up creativity and strengthen the imagination. These are followed by a series of creative story workshops, based on the writer's own experience both as a teacher and poet running workshops in schools, which focus on growing the roots of story writing through story-telling and reading, and begin with the importance of learning a few well-known tales. There are ideas for drama, role-play and art, and a few model stories are provided for story-telling. Other workshops explore simple ideas for creating new stories, based around simple familiar patterns. The book also offers advice on how to organize an effective workshop for younger children, and demonstrates how to teach story writing in a dynamic, creative and imaginative way in relationship with the KS1 national literacy framework. Workshops include: the story of our lives; stories that make a circle; stories about problems; days of the week tales; humbug, stuff and nonsense stories; quests; repetitive tales; wishing stories; warning stories; and cooking the soup stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes story writing as easy as Pie!, 17 Mar 2003
Having seen the Adventures in Literacy series by Pie Corbett, I was keen to find an equally exciting way to jazz up story writing with my Year 2 class. This is it! The book is a good read; short enough for any busy teacher or parent to read in a few hours to get some instant ideas, but long enough to go back to and decide on some strategies or tips to teach a particular objective. The ideas are simple, effective and abundant. After only a few weeks, my reluctant writers are writing simple but more sustained stories with ease. Although I have only had the book about a month, I keep dipping into it to keep my mind refreshed. The book contains a wealth of instant photocopiable resources eg story planners, character and setting lists, short stories (differentiated too!) and a wealth of ideas for developing oral story telling. This book is not just about developing pupils writing but also their teacher's writing! An absolute must in any classroom.
