Themes and Comic Books
Age Range: 14 - 18
Duration: 1hr 30 mins
Group size: 30
Cost: £40 per group
Students will look at the themes and motifs running through
the text. They will take each theme in turn and pinpoint parts
of the story which highlight these, before discussing how
these themes impact on our reading of the text and what relevance
they have today.
Each group will then be asked to select an event or passage
from the text which demonstrates one or more of these themes
and turn this into a comic strip storyboard. They will need
to defend their
choice, explaining how and why this part of the text
relates to the themes discussed.
An optional second session with our in-house
illustrator can be booked - if the school wishes
to turn these storyboards into finished comic strips.
Characters and Radio Drama
Age Range: 14 - 18
Duration: 1hr 30 mins
Group size: 30
Cost: £40 per group
This session will ask students to take a look at the main
characters within the text they are studying and examine what
clues the author gives us to make it clear what type of person
they are. Students will look at issues of motivation and purpose
and how the actions of characters drive the story forward
and impact on events.
Students will then split into groups to write a scene/scenes
for radio based on the text.
This can be done by updating the setting/situation to the
modern day equivalent, writing a monologue for certain characters,
writing a new scene or dramatising an existing part of the
text.
An optional second session can be booked with
our recording engineer, who will record the finished
pieces and instruct students in how to edit
these and add sound effects.
