What to expect from the event
Does your class have budding authors or avid storytellers in it?
This event will encourage lots of empowering chat with a ‘talk-buddy’ about what choices pupils would make to create their very own stories.
Pupils will be able to create their very own ‘TELL YOUR OWN STORY book based on a template and then to find audiences in home and school settings with whom to share those stories with.
Of course, as always, there will be plenty of time for pupils to ask their own questions about how Adam and Charlotte come up with their own stories.
Here’s an introduction video from Adam and Charlotte to get your pupils buzzing about the event.
