U CHoose Phase 2

Work started on the testing of the newly developed teachers resource from the initial delivery of the U Choose storytelling work shops at Pendle Vale and Primet. 18 pupils have successfully create digital road map through prezi.com at Pendle Vale and another 22 pupils took part in the theatre workshops at Primet. As part of the next phase we decided to film the five stories and create DVD resources as stimulus to inspire another group of pupils at Pendle Vale. Feeling Good theatre with the help of Graham Kay spent an evening filming the stories to work in the class room. We also have the support of Guidance teacher Nasima Riazat, who is helping to make this resource good to outstanding in the eyes of OFSTED.

Work began yesterday with a year 8 class in Pendle Vale and we delivered the first of four sessions, please have a look at the photographs. This new group will all create a Prezi.com road map. Pendle Vale are that impressed with Prezi.com we have an INSET planned for a group of teachers which will mean even more pupils will get the chance to use the rescourse and think and plan their possible futures.
