Story Mountain at Fane Street

After one of my workshops, P6 and P7 students at Fane Street Primary School produced a whole wall of monsters. A process of drafting and redrafting went into some of the creatures and it was very interesting to see.

P6 also like to write. Their teacher uses something called a 'Story Mountain' to guide his students through the construction of their creative writing projects. It's a line that climbs from 'setting' and up through 'character.' It peaks at 'climax' before ascending again to 'conclusion.' It's an excellent guide, I might try it myself.



Thank you to everyone I meet at Fane Street Primary.

Thank you to all the students and staff at Donegall Road Primary School.
