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.

So enjoy the audio below, it's only ten minutes long, why don't you pop the kettle on and then press play?
