Characterisation, narrative style, description and plot …….

With 'story-led' readers, where these features are the important driving force, students at all levels can study ‘literature’. How can original readers help you and your students to explore these features of narrative? During this session, you will be involved in some multi-skill activities which you can take away and try out with your students at all levels.
