The Big Write

I like those ideas that really bring an area of learning to the attention of the whole school and community.  Large scale projects can transform children's preceptions... of scale, of ambition, of options and opportunities (see The Big Draw - a previous blog post).

I like the idea of covering the school Hall, the floors, the walls in text.... perhaps part of a week-long writing project.  Something that immerses children in text, in writing, and in reading - as there would be real intrigue in following stories, reading what others have been writing about, etc.

Our schools are great buildings for displaying really grand, large-scale projects.

Do we make enough of them for this purpose?

Do our works and our displays have the impact with our children that they could have?
