Attendees registered for the conference are required to create a schedule by signing up for the sessions they would like to attend. Each session has a limited capacity so please make sure you sign up well ahead of time.  Attendees who have NOT signed up for a session will not be allowed entry to that session unless there are places available.

Thank you for your understanding.

Using Visual Literacy to develop Children’s Writing.
This course is for Primary and Middle school teachers interested in developing their children’s/student’s writing though the use of visual media. It will centre on using film extracts and story shorts to develop children’s creative skills. Using film extracts we will examine how to create suspense, mystery, fear and anticipation by focussing on lighting,camera angle, sound and colour. Using a story short, teachers will examine plot and characterisation as well as look at the expectations children have as viewers. The course will also include making use of other senses such as hearing and discussing how that affects what children feel and see. It will examine how the visual art can be translated into a written format, thus helping children to develop their story writing. Teachers will have an opportunity to look at some children’s writing and discuss the developments they see.
