Rosen Trevithick (rosentrevithick) | 2272 comments I'm excited to announce a new project. It's a crowd-written children's book.

http://ourmonsterbook.blogspot.co.uk/

Members of UKAKF are invited to take part. You'll be able to submit ideas and help decide the course the book will take.

At the moment, I'm busy trying to book primary schools to take part. Three have confirmed already. However, the more school classes and writing groups on board the more children will benefit from this opportunity to be creative.

Please help by doing the following:
1. Let me know of any schools that might like to take part.
2. Tell the children in your life about Let's Write a Monster Book.

There will be a chance for adults to contribute soon, but I would like to organise school participation first.

I have experience making books with kids. Here's the most recent example: http://www.rosentrevithick.co.uk/257/...

Rosen Trevithick (rosentrevithick) | 2272 comments Super. Thank you.

Poems... now there's an idea. I will find a way to incorporate them.

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments You could have one monster who only speaks in rhyme?

Rosen Trevithick (rosentrevithick) | 2272 comments Hee hee! Or a monster who always introduces himself with a self-indulgent poem!


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I hope a couple classes at school take this up.

I mentioned it to Dave. He's interested but too busy with report writing and other end of term stuff to think about it right now.

He'll have time over the holiday.

Rosen Trevithick (rosentrevithick) | 2272 comments Thanks Patti. Three schools have confirmed and I have a further seven leads. Fingers crossed that I'll have half-a-dozen confirmed by next term.

Rosen Trevithick (rosentrevithick) | 2272 comments Six classes have now confirmed but I could do with a couple more in case anybody drops out.

If you know a primary school who are keen to encourage creative writing, please direct them to:

Rosen Trevithick (rosentrevithick) | 2272 comments The monster project starts in four days! I'm very excited.

Still time for more schools to sign up. I've got ten(ish) at the moment but the more the merrier.

And of course, children can follow at home.
