Keynote title: Turn off the TV, pick up a book and expand your mind (Yr 7)
Workshop title: Turn off the TV, pick up a book and expand your mind (Yr 7)

In this workshop student will be introduced to an exciting mix of humour and sport as a style writing. John allows students to explore their own identity whilst looking out for the comic in everyday life and incorporating this into story writing. John also uses shock tactics for those timid writers … be prepared.
