Primary school teachers
• See the benefits of working with literary texts with children: a source of enjoyment, language development and physical involvement from a multimodal approach that helps children to boost their imagination and creativity and to appropriate the foreign language through a variety of activities that integrate different artistic disciplines.

• Think and plan a variety of related activities to work with literary texts in a multimodal approach that combines photography, film, creative writing, games, interactive reading, reciting, performing, multimedia projects, music, dancing & arts & crafts.
We are going to read and work with both traditional stories, poems, rhymes & popular songs and texts written by contemporary children`s literature writers such as Tony Mitton, Ian Mcmillan, Benjamin Zephaniah, Ewin Morgan, Leo Lionni, Eric Carl, Kevin Henkes, Julia Donaldson, Anthony Browne, among others.
Workshop: A hands-on approach to teaching literature in the classroom in which participants will discuss and apply concepts, brainstorm creative teaching ideas, develop supporting teaching materials and carry out some of the activities in class.
