The Sequencing of Space

Here Mr Jelley talks about how Storywalks skills link back to his reading and writing when he was a child (shamefully little to be honest - his words) but how moving furniture and re sequencing rooms developed skills which are key to creating a successful Storywalk (as well as creative writing!)

Confused, well don't worry, make yourself a nice hot drink and then press play, it's only ten minutes long and was recorded in Dunster Deer Park Summer 2015.

The spaces between words

Here Mr Jelley talks about how writing a Storywalk is different to other mediums even though it is fundamentally a book tied to a specific place or location. When you start writing you will find that the distance between story parts changes the flow of the narrative, something which a good Storywalker will know all about. If the spaces are too large then the story can become forgotten through distractions, this is especially true with younger children but if written correctly then the Story and location based tasks can draw the pupils back in to help keep them engaged.

Have a listen to how Mr Jelley talks about it, and what he does to keep pupils on task.
