General approach and curriculum links: The resource pack is split into two sections, pre-event activities and post-event activities the event being the Book Fair itself. The activities suggested here provide material for six to eight hours of lessons, which can take place during the school day or as extra-curricular activities. The material can be delivered in sequence as a small scheme of work or broken up into isolated lessons. The material is suitable for age groups 4-11 years, although activities in the pack can be adapted for any class or ability from KS1 lower primary, through to KS3 lower secondary. Curriculum objectives: The main objectives of the pack have a literary focus but also cover some other areas of the curriculum: Literacy English Curriculum Reading - Word Reading and Comprehension To improve understanding and comprehension of text types To understand the linguistic conventions of certain text types To create text for a specific target audience and to use appropriate linguistic and stylistic conventions To interpret an author s language and style English Curriculum Writing - Composition Plan, Draft, Evaluate Organise ideas to bring to life a specific event or express a message Develop ideas to depict story-related or self-created events, convey a message, or express interesting information Drama and Speaking and Listening English Curriculum Spoken Language Years 1 to 6 To participate in discussions, presentations, performances, role play, improvisations and debates To formally present information to an audience Design technology and Art Art and Design and DT Curriculum Design, Make, Evaluate To use drawing, painting and sculpture to develop and share their ideas, experiences and imagination To develop a wide range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space 2

ACTIVITY 2: BALLOON DEBATE Objective: To use persuasive language in a balloon debate Outcomes: A list of reasons with which to construct an argument; balloon debate in groups Resources: Scholastic Book Fair invitations, to be found in your Planning Kit BALLOON DEBATING: Each class member is in an imaginary hot air balloon. The balloon is losing height rapidly because it is overweight; therefore we need to get rid of some of the passengers! Children have to come up with persuasive arguments for why their chosen cover is the best in the invitation. The top arguer stays in the balloon until the very end and wins the balloon debate! Recap question: What techniques can authors and illustrators use to make their covers effective? TASK 1: What other qualities do good books have? Ask children to make a list in pairs or groups. Possible answers: a good storyline; funny characters; interesting setting; famous authors. TASK 2: Allocate each member of your class with one book from the invitation. Each member of the class must have a different book. Give children five minutes to think of as many reasons as possible for why it is the best book in the invitation. For younger age groups (Key Stage 1), encourage children to choose their own book based on their own reasons. Can they make a list of their reasons? TASK 3: In groups, children need to complete a balloon debate. Each group member takes turn arguing why his or her book is the best in the invitation. The student who has the most reasons and who is the most persuasive can keep his/her ticket and stay in the balloon. Each group should have one Judge who oversees the debate and chooses the winner. Every student can take turns as the Judge. Can you keep hold of your balloon ticket?! 6

TASK 1: Split the class into groups and give each group a different author to research (direct students to the library or to the IT room if necessary). TASK 2: Students must organise a presentation based on their findings. They need to present facts and information about their authors to their classmates. TASK 3: Encourage students to listen to their classmates and make notes so that they can choose the author that interests them the most and create an author profile. PHOTO SNAP!

Possible answers: street parties; posters, flags, bunting; fancy dress; food and drink; fireworks; music; dancing; lots of people; mascots; games. TASK 2: Your Book Fair is a celebration of reading.

ACTIVITY 5: ADVERTISING THE BOOK FAIR Objective: To understand and analyse how posters appeal to their target audience Outcomes: Annotated posters; newly created posters Resources: A collection of posters or marketing material from the coverage of a national celebration. Posters in the Planning Kit may be used. TASK 1: Split the class into groups of four or five. Each group is given a poster to annotate and analyse. The following prompt questions might be useful: 1. Who do you think the poster is aimed at? Who is the target audience? 2. Which eye-catching words helped you to identify the target audience? 3. What is the headline? How is it presented? 4. Are there any photographs or pictures that stand out? 5. Can you see any examples of alliteration? 6. Can you see any examples of where the poster tries to persuade the reader? For younger age groups (Key Stage 1), simplify these questions. Examples might include: which colours stand out?; which pictures do you like?; how many pictures can you see?; how many colours can you see? TASK 2: Each group needs to present annotations to the rest of the class. TASK 3: The Book Fair is an opportunity to celebrate reading. Using the ideas from the previous activities, children create a new poster for the Book Fair in their groups. Extension task: When all posters are complete, show the class the posters that have been included in your Planning Kit. 1. How do their posters compare? 2. Which do they prefer? 3. Where are the best places to put them around the school building? 13

ALTERNATIVE TASK: Younger age groups might prefer to design their own bunting, which can then be strung together around the school building. Use the photocopiable template below to get them started! 14

TEACHERS AND CHILDREN, CONGRATULATIONS! YOU VE COMPLETED ALL OF THE PRE-EVENT ACTIVITIES! NOW, IT S TIME FOR YOUR BOOK FAIR! Post-event questions and suggestions for further activities You ve had the Book Fair and you ve completed the pre-event activities, but the fun doesn t have to end here! There are lots of ways to keep that reading spirit alive in the classroom and to keep children talking about books and reading. First off, let s start by asking students to reflect on what they ve done. Questions: 1. Why is it important to celebrate reading? 2. What are the features of a celebration? 3. What went well during your Book Fair? Was it a good celebration? List three ways in which it went well. 4. What could ve been improved about your Book Fair? List three ways in which it could ve been better. Suggestions for further activities: 1. Now that your class has created so many book covers, author profiles, posters and invitations, why not get them busy organising a classroom display? 2. If you re stuck for creative writing exercises, get students to predict the themes of their new book based on the cover and title can they write the first chapter or create a short drama of the plot? 3. Get in the mood for the next Book Fair by beginning a reading campaign to get other students across your school involved. Put photos up in the school library, or snap students and teachers reading different books around the school building. 4. To kick-start the campaign, ask your class to declare which book they ll be reading next, whether it s from the Book Fair range or not. Ask children to complete and wear the badges provided here just to make sure that reading fever keeps spreading 17
