When it comes to blogging, I am generally quite awful. I either tend to waffle to the point of losing not only the reader, but myself too. Either that or I tend to be too vague when trying to explain a new idea or strategy. Therefore, with this new blog, let me try and be succinct and to the point:
This blog is based heavily on using Cliff McNish's excellent children's book 'Breathe' in the classroom. Although the work is aimed at Year 6 pupils (my class) I feel it could easily be adapted to be used with Year 5 all the way up to Year 8.
The blog will look at how you can use Breathe to do the following:
* Enchance Writing within the classroom through composing a Ghost Story
* Impact on the importance of Speaking & Listening / Drama
* Improve Sentence and Word Level work
* Greatly improve a child's approach to reading for meaning and enjoyment.
Of course, what I really intend to do is create a piece of work that is fun and engaging for the teacher as well as the pupils!
