Workshops for Schools

John Chapman’s School visits are tailored to the individual requirements of schools, so please contact us to talk about your workshop.

Popular workshops include:

Author’s Workshop:

This workshop focuses on John as an Author.

Through a series of interactive activities, John will help the children to understand the writing process; including his personal inspiration, how he created his characters, structuring the plot and the publishing process.

This workshop results in the children becoming authors.  Story writing activities can be adapted to suit individual pupil abilities and can be linked to Literacy Framework units.

Literacy Workshop:

John has created a literacy workshop, which through the character of Jonnie Rocket, inspires and encourages children to design their own comic strip.

Through the use of story-telling, story mountains, storyline structures and the development of the comic strip itself, children will be encouraged to create their own character and formulise the start of their own graphic novel.

The workshop helps to develop children’s creative imaginations, and language and literacy skills.

John is an avid space enthusiast and this workshop focuses on Space as a theme.

Through the use of film, story, drama and music, John will help children to become space explorers!

This workshop has a literary focus but can be linked to Science topics if desired.
