The Literacy Shed on Tour
I am very excited to be coming to Cornwall,

Lunch: Lunch will be provided on the day. If you have any special requirements please email rob@literacyshed.com if you have not already done so.
What to bring:
- note making materials.
- I will mention some apps so you may want to bring iPads along to try them. (this is not a big part of the course so isn't essential)
Free car parking is available at the venue. Click here for details

Raising standards in English through film and image @St Austell, Conference Centre
The CPD day is split into four sessions and is aimed at Primary School teachers, Literacy Coordinators and anyone interested in embedding film into English lessons to enhance the teaching of reading, writing and speaking.
8:45 - 9:15 Refreshments and Registration.
9:15 - 11:00 Exploring the benefits of film for reading and writing.
In this session, Rob will explore a range of still and moving image media, demonstrating their value to the reading and writing process through analysis and questioning. The session will look at how a director’s choice to portray something can be used by teachers to inspire discussions and hook students in.
11:00 - 11:20 Break and refreshments
11:20 - 12:30 Setting a good example.
In this session, Rob will show how film and image can be used to teach writing techniques such as portraying character emotion, building tension and creating atmosphere as well providing a wealth -of content for both fiction and non-fiction writing.
12:30 - 1:30 Lunch
1:30 - 2:30 Taking Grammar to the movies.
In this session, participants will experience how film can be used in the teaching of grammar. Through discussion and demonstration Rob will share useful activities that use film alongside teacher modelling to enhance the teaching of the grammar curriculum and embed it within the teaching of reading, writing and speaking.
2:30 - 3:30 Film story scaffolds.
Films tell a story; in this session Rob will demonstrate how the stories told in films can be used as scaffolds to help students create their own narratives. Rob will explain how films can be broken down into scenes and shots and what role each of these has within the narrative.
