Finding it difficult to fit all your literacy objectives into English lessons? How can we
use writing to deliver across the curriculum? Led by award-winning writer and
educational consultant Alan Gibbons, the purpose of this course is to explore how the
use of writing across the curriculum can enhance the delivery of many subject areas.
By the end of the day, participants will:

Be able to recognise and exploit opportunities to write fiction, non-fiction and
poetry across the curriculum.

Be prepared to produce fast-paced, scaffolded lessons that will improve
children’s writing skills.

Know how PSHE, RE, Geography and History can be accessed by children
through creative writing approaches.
