Love Reading: World Book Day 2007

Thursday 1st March is World Book Day 2007 and our Sixth Form students are taking over assemblies this week to spread the word about reading for pleasure.  During English lessons, students will have the chance to read, discuss and play around with a variety of extracts from different genres, using these as inspiration to write their own story openings.

The official website is inviting adults to celebrate World Book Day's 10th Birthday by submitting their titles for Ten Books You Can't Live Without. You can list your essential ten books for World Book Day at www.worldbookday10.com.  Join the debate in the GALAXY ® Booklovers' Forum and talk to others about your recommendations.

www.lovereading4kids.co.uk is the ultimate children's online independent bookstore. It contains reading lists, author like-for-like recommendations, extracts from new publications and reviews from Guardian books editor Julia Eccleshare. Registration is free and you can download resources and receive emails about forthcoming events and publications.  The adult version of this site www.lovereading.co.uk should provide you with even further inspiration.

Zero !

All students are encouraged to contribute material for the new Dunraven School magazine, Zero.  The first edition will be printed at Easter, with a further edition each term.  The magazine is FOR students and BY students - none of the content will be produced by teachers or any other adults.  The magazine will be in full colour and will have a quality feel to it, as it has been designed by a professional designer working with our editorial team of students from different year groups.  Everyone will be offered a free copy.  Please submit articles on any subject by saving them as a WORD document in the new school magazine folder by going to My Computer - Shared Documents - School Magazine.  Make sure you put your name, tutor group and the title on your file. You can submit photos or scanned artwork as jpegs in the same folder. If you have artwork or cartoons on paper, you can take them to the office to be put in the school magazine box.  Please do send us interesting, funny and thought-provoking articles.  You all have the opportunity to contribute so it's no good complaining that the magazine is boring if you haven't tried to make it exciting and fun!  Any questions, check out the posters round the school or see Mr Beckett.
