Focus Workshop 1of 3 - Delve Into Deepening

This workshop is for those who have recently participated our introduction & induction training. Or, for those simply wishing to revisit and increase their expertise with the deepening element of the Storytelling Schools teaching sequence.

Deepening is for all learners at all ages and stages of literacy development. Let us help you to make the most of your story, ensuring that the ideas and language grow in the imagination of your learners. Deepening also allows the students to express the language patterns in the story many times so that they become securely embedded and mastered.

At this workshop you will also review and practice developing your ‘teaching toolbox’. Including, using the plot matrix, mood mapping, & boxing up for purpose as deliberate acts of teaching in readiness for the move from story imitation or innovation into writing, ensuring that the purpose and mood of spoken stories translates to written stories.
