This innovative series is designed to help primary teachers plan
focused sessions on the work of popular, well-loved and valued
authors, both classic and contemporary. Each book contains a range
of activities for use directly in the classroom, covering
biographical information about the author; a review of the author's
work and a summary of major themes in his/her key texts; key
language features of the author; frameworks to help children
analyze, evaluate and compare texts, and to develop personal
opinions of authors' works; ideas for writing modeled on or
developed from key texts; speaking and listening opportunities;
drama and role play ideas; and references to video, CD-ROM,
websites and ICT activities. Inside each book is a full-color
pullout poster illustrating the work of the author, which also has
a set of challenges for children on the back. Michael Morpurgo is
the author of over 60 books for children, including Sam's Duck, The
Butterfly Lion, The Wreck of the Zanzibar, and Kensuke's Kingdom.
Beginning with a detailed plan for structuring a half-term's work
on Michael Morpurgo, this book presents activities that focus on
narrative structure, character development, settings and themes.
Activities and games include: focus on biography - writing blurbs,
role-playing 'ask the author', creating a magazine article/web page
about the author; exploring key themes, including bullies, not
liking school, caring for animals, relationships with older people,
and farm and country life; creating a character sketch; writing in
role; focusing on time with a story web; analyzing setting; and an
in-depth study of The Butterfly Lio.
