WORLD OF STORIES
Content:
How using StoryWorld can enhance writing
John Gardner, in his book The Art of Fiction, wrote, "... whatever the genre may be, fiction does its work by creating a dream in the reader's mind." In other words, the writer’s task is to keep the reader under his or her spell. Descriptive imagery helps the reader visualize the context for the story, whether it be a poem, novel, short story or a play. StoryWorld @ The Word captures the creativity by immersing the audience in a world of their imagination. By using the room to write in, children will be inspired and demonstrate how imagery can enhance their creative writing.
This course leads on from the resources developed by South Tyneside Literacy Advisors of the Creative Text Literacy training and Teaching Sequences. You will have the chance to experience StoryWorld @ The Word and consider how the resource could be used to accelerate attainment in writing.
Expected impact on schools:
Participants will:
Develop new approaches to accelerate attainment in writing
Use immersive technology as a stimulus for writing

BOYS WRITING
Content:
Practical ideas for encouraging boys to write.
Reading and writing go hand-in-hand and it is through writing that children learn to formulate thoughts and improve their creativity and thinking skills. New research published by the National Literacy Trust reveals that boys are half as likely to enjoy writing as girls and almost a third never or rarely write outside of class.
Broadcaster and children’s author Simon Mayo says:
“It’s so important for boys to find a topic that interests them before they pick up a pen and start writing. I wasn’t particularly interested in writing at school, I only started to enjoy it later on, but I was hampered by being fantastically slow. If you can grab a child’s imagination in the same way, getting them to write about a hobby or something they really enjoy doing then the whole story writing world is open to them.” In this course teachers will be able to explore a range of hardware, software and peripherals and consider how they could be used in class to accelerate attainment in writing.
Expected impact on schools:
Participants will:
Develop new approaches to accelerate attainment in writing
Develop the use of technology to enhance writing in the classroom

What is an RTC? We are extremely proud to announce that we have been selected as an Apple Regional Training Centre. This highlights our commitment to developing the use of Apple Technology in the class-room so that it can make a real impact on our children’s learning. Over the next year through a professional learning programme, we will deliver a range of courses for educators to develop their skills and understanding of Apple Technology and how it can specifically impact on classroom practice. In addition this will be supplemented by a series of special events in conjunction with some of our partners. As part of our strategy we aim to introduce as many educators as we can to the Apple Teacher programme which allows individuals to achieve accreditation working at their own pace. There are several Regional Training Centre's across the UK and Ireland and together we work as a community to share good practice and spread innovation in the classroom. Across the UK and Ireland, the goals of all Apple Regional Training Centre's are to: facilitate training opportunities for teachers to develop skills using Apple
technology in the classroom; promote Apple in Education and share new products and innovations with
educators; build Apple Teacher across the region: share best practices, build community and inspire excellence.
