Primary Teachers
• Discuss the principles that support the use of literary texts as teaching material in TYLs.
• Make room for enjoying the pleasure of the text.
• Read, tell and perform stories with children to help them develop imagination, language awareness and appropriation.
• Discuss the potential of the literary text to help children develop their creative and critical thinking skills.
• Think, plan and carry out a variety of related activities to work with stories in the classroom: games, interactive reading, performing, etc.
This workshop is a journey to Literatureland. In our session, we will work with contemporary children's books and there will be plenty of room for enjoying the pleasure of the text. Be ready to experience how the texts enthrall us in their realm and challenge our imagination; how language develops and grows and how we connect with our pupils and colleagues in a myriad of ways. Come and explore the possibilities literary texts offer and join us in a number of highly interactive and collaborative activities that will provide the space for exploration and discovery.
