Year 7 Carnegies Book Group

This week was the final session for the Carnegies. They have all been asked to submit a book review of the book they voted for. This week we filmed their reflections on the whole book judge shadowing experience.

“Don’t judge a book by its cover.”

“Pictures tell stories. Words and pictures can come together to create a beautiful story.”

“I now realise that books can have a back story that is often related to the author’s life.”

“I’ve been so inspired by this experience that I’m now writing an illustrated book.”

These clips will be edited together to create the promotional film to recruit next year’s Carnegies.
