about...
'The
Amazing Adventures of Mike & Sal' is a writing and illustrating
workshop designed for use within schools, playschemes, youth
clubs and libraries.
The
workshop is a fun experience within a framework of enjoyable
learning objectives. It has a cross-curricular approach tailored
to an individual teachers/leaders needs,
i.e.
its emphasis may be on science,history, geography or social issues.
The
Storyboard Project promotes skills in writing through planning,
drafting,
evaluating, and redrafting, combined with areas of design,
illustration
and presentation.
The
characters in 'The Amazing of Mike & Sal' can do anything
that
the children wish. With Mike's time machine they can travel
back
in time and study a period of history and meet prominent historical
figures.
Sal
could show an experiment in pictorial form and give the results
and conclusions as a way of recording the children's findings.
The character could travel to explore, for example, the rainforests
or artic regions as part of their geography studies.
Mike
& Sal could also relay PSD issues, i.e. road safety, firework
code
and
personal health issues.
Of
courses all of the above projects need
information and material to get pens and pencils working,
so research skills are brought into play.
