In this one time class we explore: What science fiction is Typical characters Settings Creating and following the 'rules' of our created world The question 'Is a space opera the same as sci-fi?' We will learn how to plan out a sci-fi short story...
Students will gain a deeper understanding of the genre of Science fiction and using their knowledge to create a piece of creative writing, Learners will understand how to plan out a story and use self-created information sheets.
Writing is my passion and as well as majoring in English at university, I've almost 20 years’ experience in teaching English in primary schools (4-11-year-olds). Over those years I have worked regularly with groups of children specifically on English writing skills. My favourite lessons have always been when I can find out what interests and motivates a student and use those interests to engage a learner and build their confidence. I'm also a HUGE sci-fi geek and have written in this genre myself as well as been an avid sci-fi viewer and reader and have attended conventions and exhibitions. I also collect and Sci-fi figures and have my own squad of Stormtrooper action figures who live with us!
