  2. Rob Smith Using Visual Media to Inspire Writing Schools are currently at a crossroads in terms of curriculum development and change due to recent announcements from the department of education. Many teachers are unsure how to embed digital media into their literacy curriculum.  This course will demonstrate how to weave images, film, sound and animation into existing literacy units as well as building new units around one or more stimuli.  1 - Language development, sentence building leading to whole text writing. 2 - Reading digital texts to inspire writing, including emotional literacy. 3 - Publishing children's writing, encouraging them to write and blog outside of the classroom to raise standards. 4 - Using film to inspire writing across a range of narrative and non-narrative text types.  How to create whole units of work based around film and animation. Class Writing Workshops Rob is available to visit schools and deliver a day or 1/2 day of writing workshops individually tailored to your children and/or a specific topic.  Rob combines visual literacy skills with language acquisition to enhance the children's vocabulary which is then used to develop writing at sentence level.  Children will be taught how to construct a range of sentences types which can be used in their writing.  The use of short film and animations will give the children a stimulus from which to write a variety of text types.  Using film allows children to experience 'a whole text' without the need for a sustained period of reading.   The sessions also incorporate drama to bring the stimuli to life for the pupils involved, allowing for exploration of characters' thoughts and feelings. Depending on the length of the session and the requirements of the class the children will create collaborative and independent pieces of writing and we will leave follow up tasks that the teacher can use if they wish. Work produced can be showcased on The Literacy Shed showcase on the class's own dedicated page. Schools can book a workshop with a single class, a whole year group or a focus group of children from different classes such as those who are reluctant or more able writers.  "Best hands on, creative, inspirational workshop where children learnt more in two hours than I could possible have imagined.  Lots of manageable and exciting activities which had immediate impact on children's creativity and their writing process.  Would highly recommend your workshops... brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!" Hayley Knowles, Y3 teacher at Mesne Lea School, Walkden www.literacyshed.com
