Curriculum topics available: Composition, Story writing, Creative writing, Reading for pleasure.
Many students struggle to write and talk about the novels that they read. In this workshop we try to give them a set of simple ideas about reading critically which they can apply to any book they read. This includes ideas for where to start and how to analyse what they think and feel about literature in general. We encourage them to think about structure, themes and genre and how they can use these ideas to make comparisons in their reading.We have extensive experience working with a range of different needs and abilities with ages ranging from Early Years through to KS4, including much work in SEN and PRU settings, and all our actors thrive on the variety of audiences that we encounter.
Big Wheel is a theatre in education company that has been delivering high quality creative and interactive workshops and events for young people in the UK and Europe. We have produced workshops that meet the curriculum in English Literature, MFL, History, STEM, Citizenship and more.
We pride ourselves on our approach to inclusivity, creating a warm, supportive atmosphere that means students feel encouraged to participate in this interactive environment. We always respect that some students will prefer simply to watch and make sure that they feel just as involved.
Big Wheel workshops are fun, entertaining and interactive, enabling us to easily explore themes, encourage thought and discussion, explain complex and sensitive topics, and deliver a powerful message. We approach our audiences with no preconceived ideas about them. We strive to ensure that every single member of our audience leaves feeling like they have been an active part of the workshop.
