KS3 Visit Day

Ian MacDonald was a specialist year 6 teachers for many years and is happy working with year 7 pupils in KS3.  Book Ian for a day designed to get everyone fired up to write stories.  Why not launch your new intake in September with this inspiring workshop day? 

 

Typically, Ian will repeat an hour workshop with several groups, with:

  • short presentation
  • planning ideas
  • characters and setting
  • story starters

The session concludes with a short writing "burst" for continuation in school. 

 

Stop Press: How about creating story books for your local primary school?  see below

 

Book Making Project 

Team up with your local feeder primary school to make a 'real' story book to share with a younger child. 

 

Ian can launch your project with

  • Presentation - story of a book
  • Visual story plans
  • Writing workshops
  • Book making

A project day will leave your students with their own story plans, characters and story-starter, ready to complete the 'publishing' process in school.
