Michael Rosen Teacher Resources

The idea behind these resources is to give teachers whose pupils are involved in the internet broadcast on 4th March 2010 (or who watch the on-demand file after the live broadcast) some ideas for introductory or follow up work they might like to do to enhance their pupils’ enjoyment of the event.

These materials are very much a “buffet” selection, i.e. teachers can choose whatever activity appeals to them keeping in mind the reading levels of their classes.    

They also include ideas for you to involve the wider community in the event.
