This month's #HistFicThursdays have been all art-inspired, so I'm sticking with that theme! A couple of months ago, the Things to Inspire blog was about sketches . Today's is about finished pieces of artwork! Artwork has been an inspiration for millions of people across thousands of years. Just like a book, the finished product can (hopefully!) be an inspiration. Over the years, we've collected one or two pieces of old artworks, and these are a few... Religious artwork has always been used as an inspiration and, historically, this was how the majority of people interacted with biblical stories. This was a barn find - probably created for someone's own interest judging by the naive style of artwork. It looks like it might have been from a panelled wall at some point. I wonder what happened to the rest of the panels and what story they might show when they are all together... Of course, not all artworks are paintings! Here is a scrimshaw of the Battle of Flamborough
As well as running the Crowvus Book Blog, I'm a primary school teacher. Although I love my job, this means that I haven't posted on as many book reviews as I would like. A lot of my 'spare' time is taken up with reading 9 year old children's writing, not published works.
But I thought it would be a good idea to merge my two interests and include some lesson plans on this blog.
These lesson plans will include writing and reading activities, along with some class novel suggestions. I have also just started teaching grammar (the cover teacher taught it until this week!) so I might post some ideas for this as well.
I am a Primary 4 teacher so the lesson plans will be targeted to that age group, but they could be adapted to meet the relevant stage of the curriculum.
