Graphic novels dramatised

Embrace creative storytelling techniques in this interactive drama workshop for KS2.

Explore the story and issues behind Sarah Garland’s graphic novel, Azzi in Between, in this interactive drama workshop. The session begins by observing and discussing manuscript pages from Garland’s early drafts, exploring the outline of the story and the process of drawing and writing a sequential art-based narrative. Following some physical and image-based warm-up games, the pupils work in small groups to create images/tableaux representing different parts of the story. At the end of the workshop each group presents their image in turn so that the whole class performs the story together.
