Imagine how many stories could travel across Birmingham!
What sort of stories would they be? Stories from all over the world - stories of lived experiences - stories crossing cultures and generations - stories painting landscapes of far away places – new stories - old stories.
And how could these stories travel? By word of mouth - through podcasts - on the page - on the screen - in the book - on the stage. And where could these stories start? In your classroom - in your book club - in your car - on the bus- in your assembly. With YOU!
This project started at the beginning of Spring Term and is now entering Phase 2 when schools will begin to work with Birmingham Centre for the Child and Stories from the Web.
The Story Spinners is proving a powerful resource for inspiring and encouraging children's own storytelling and contributed to raising standards in writing through the use of talk for writing.
