Year 9 Author Visit

As part of the Short Story unit, Year 9 was lucky enough to take part in a workshop with local children's book author, Zanni Louise. Students learned about Aristotle's three-act structure - a model used in narrative fiction that divides a story into three parts, often called the Setup, the Confrontation and the Resolution. They worked on their story ideas and applied their learning to the development of their own work. A great opportunity provided by the Byron Writer's Festival for students to hone their skills and have contact with published authors. Interested students from some year groups will be able to attend the festival later in the year.
