To celebrate positive reading habits during Book Week Scotland, Scottish Book Trust are encouraging children, young people and adults alike to share their love for reading on Thursday 22nd November through having a Reading Lunch.
Whether it be a cosy corner in the library, or inside the school polytunnel, make lunchtime on the 22nd of November a time for sharing what you love to read with a Reading Lunch. Reading Lunches are for everyone, so whether you’re at your desk, in the staffroom or in the canteen, crack open a good book at lunchtime.
Teaching learners through the genre of play scripts is an excellent gateway into bringing a text alive through drama.
A Highland practitioner has kindly shared a resource which they have created and used with learners. The play could be taken in its current form, or edited for/by learners where deemed appropriate.
The text based around WWII explores the themes of family and patriotism. There is also a poignant link to WWI – great if you’re studying the 100 year anniversary.
Poet and author, Joseph Coelho, of the picture book ‘If All The World Were’, will be on Authors Live on Thursday 22nd November, 11am – 11.40am, talking about how to create poetry as part of Book Week Scotland 2018.
This fully interactive event is the perfect way to celebrate Book Week Scotland and a great extension of work many schools will be doing following the gifting of their P3 Read Write Count bags.
Please note that the link to watch is emailed to you manually by one of the Scottish Book Trust team. As this is not an automatic process, please sign up to watch as soon as you can so that they can get your link to you in plenty of time.
