Using films to enhance and develop English Literacy - Full Day CPD
Film and Literacy
The session can focus on a particular action point from the School Plan or Ofsted report and can explore creative uses of film in enhancing literacy across the school.
We can look at using film to encourage writing, reading and communication skills. Through a range of creative and practical workshops; teachers, assistants and advisors can explore how to use moving image to enhance planning and encourage engagement in the classroom.
