StoryMaker Catch Pack,
the exciting follow-up to Steve Bowkett’s highly
successful alps StoryMaker, capitalizes
on the ongoing popularity of SF, fantasy and horror
(especially among boys). Underpinned by an exploration
of the ‘creative attitude’, it further develops
games introduced in alps StoryMaker and offers a range
of new activities as well. Throughout these materials
immediacy, practicality and the principles of good classroom
practice are borne in mind.
StoryMaker Catch Pack lies at the centre
of this collection and is an extensive repertoire of
creative ideas for teachers to use to help engage children's
imagination. The 200+ pages contain a raft of activities
and ideas for teachers, to help stimulate children's
thinking skills and wider understanding. The key activities
serve as solid platforms on which all other story making
games can be built, and embody a range of thinking ‘tools’
that can be applied across the curriculum.
