Notes for Teachers

WORKSHOP GUIDELINES FOR CREATING YOUR OWN CHARACTER
From the author of the
Zartarbia Tales - Ana Fischel

Following a hugely successful series of school workshops run by Ana Fischel (British author of The Zartarbia Tales) as part of the ‘Reading Is Fundamental’ project in England; Ana has devised the following guidelines for schools to encourage children to create their own characters.

The workshop aims to guide children through the process of creating a character for the third book in the Zartarbia Tales series as part of an International competition, open to all children to the age of 16,
closing date 31st December 2005.

Owing to the success of the competition thus far, it will be repeated for the fourth book in the series.

Book 3 concerns
Tempest Pestilencia
- the sin of Envy -
who is a cruel pirate
and he rules
the Seas of Uncertainty

 

The process of creating a character differs greatly between authors and Ana’s approach is from a visual perspective. This makes for an imaginative and fun learning experience for the children and covers a range of learning objectives including literacy.
