Through our Authors in Schools projects, Ifeoma Onyefulu<\/a> and Cheryl Moskowitz<\/a> gave some amazing presentations to children in eight classes in October. From writing hearing about Nigerian Traditional Tales to writing a Cinquain poem the children were given some real insights to writing in different genres.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ifeoma<\/a> read one of her stories from The Girl Who Married a Ghost and other stories a book of folk tales from Nigeria. The story was The Girl who Married a Ghost.<\/p>\n

The children were soon enthralled and straight away saw the problem that the girl had and just why she married a ghost, 'She was too choosy' said one child.' She shouldn't have married at all!'<\/p>\n

After lots of discussion the children
\ndrew some pictures of the story
\nand the ghost appeared with the girl.<\/p>\n

\"Cheryl\"<\/a>Cheryl <\/a> has developed a great technique for the whole class to give something in writing a shared Cinquain.<\/p>\n
