Author Alex Scarrow visited Calderhead High School on Friday, 13th September 2019 and spoke to S1 pupils about his writing and treated them to a reading from the first book in his Time Rider series.
Alex then conducted a workshop with older pupils studying English and Media, and shared a fascinating insight into the structure of films, which can also be used for writing books and stories.
This visit was part of North Lanarkshire Council’s Read to Succeed initiative, funded by the Scottish Attainment Challenge. This affords every S1 pupil, in all of the North Lanarkshire schools, an opportunity to attend an author event, where they hear about the author’s books and the inspiration behind their writing. Author visits inspire and encourage pupils to read and to write creatively.
Next week Book Week Scotland is taking place from Monday 19 – Sunday 25 November 2018 and Calderhead High School are hosting many exciting activities to celebrate.
