Description
The Bookmaking Approach to literacy values and honours children’s prior learning, their cultural competence, and their dispositions for learning. It uses these to drive learning deeper and to create a culture of thinking, talking, and noticing about picture books. It values the intellectual quality of mark-making as an essential component of being a writer and offers a place for every child to feel successful.
A Bookmaking Approach not only sees children from this competent lens, but it also empowers children to see themselves as competent writers. The approach challenges pedagogical practices that see children as empty learners, who are needy because they know so little. It supports children to build strong identities as writers and communicators.
Lisa Burman has facilitated workshops about the Pedagogy of Bookmaking for over 18 years - throughout South Australia, in New South Wales, Western Australia, Victoria, USA, Canada and China. This rich pedagogy engages children in language and literacy, motivates them to become deeply involved in their learning and also excites educators when they see children learning to their potential.
Overview:
• Pedagogical Principles – the “Big Ideas” of Bookmaking/Writing Workshop
• A strong & competent image of the novice writer – what does it mean for our pedagogical decisions?
• Mentor Texts – the most powerful resource
*Please bring 2-3 of your favourite picture books*
