Space Adventures Literacy Resources
Teachers can either work through the complete curriculum-linked lessons which follow the story of Tazz through her vlogs, or use the flexible standalone activities such as letter-writing or newspaper articles.
Pupils can choose a vlog and try out performance, sound effects and filming on their own. Why not ask them to create and film their own Space Adventure? All you need to know about this is available on Culture Street, which is also available from LGfL.
