An afternoon workshop with English Teachers of Canton Bern

By FAM :: 10 November 2006

9 November marked a day of work together with friend and poet (and what a poet he is) Matthias Rüegger at one of the regular meetings if highschool teachers of English in the Canton of Bern.
To begin with there was a short introduction to the notion of creative writing in the EFL classroom with sime basic points made by FAM and some practical hints and tricks from practicing highschool teacher Matthias. Then there was a set of four writing activities in the plenary session, followed by a circuit of 6 more activities to be tackled individually or in groups.
The presentation and the material (cue cards and instruction sheets for the activities) can be downloaded from here. The pictures used for "Picture them" are not uploaded for copyright and time reasons, sorry.
Thanks once again to all the teachers who participated and to those who read their work. Matthias and I hope that the Writing Bug may have infected you and that you may be want to try things out with your students. If more ideas are needed you can download the BBC/British Council teaching pack Creative Ways.
