Wild Writing

Hosted by best-selling Australian children’s author Rebecca Johnson, this flexible
workshop program can be tailored to meet relevant learning outcomes for
students from Prep through to Year 7.

Students and teachers will learn about the process Rebecca undertakes
to write her children’s books. They will have hands-on involvement,
use their imagination, participate and support their peers and most
importantly, be inspired to write!

All of Rebecca’s books feature:

•  Strong moral messages based on the 52 virtues 
(e.g.
truthfulness). 
•  Australian
•  Stunning photographs, most from the Steve Parish 
image library

Some options include:

Large group sessions (two classes maximum, 45 minutes in
duration)

• Discuss Rebecca’s writing process, including the stages a book goes
through to be published.
• Whole group activity — children work with Steve Parish photos to
develop a class book outline, using the same process as Rebecca.
Teachers are then able to keep these photos with an audio tape of
their story to make big books.

Smaller group (more specialised sessions for a single
or a select group of students, flexible duration — 1 hour to full day).

• Discuss Rebecca’s writing process.
• Children choose their own Steve Parish photos, and make a start
on writing individual stories after sequencing their pictures.
This style works best if teacher and parent helpers can join
in the process.
• Autographed books available on the day.
