Traction Man - Mini Grey

An excellent book that hooked my year two class from start to finish. Mini Grey cleverly writes this story as a comic strip which is so different to anything I have used before.
My class loved keeping a class journal of the process undertaken. We were able to keep photo's, examples of work, the childrens thoughts and ideas plus lots more. The journal is now in our book corner and is well read and a constant reminder of the fabulous book.
Other activities such as drama and hot seating were very effective and helped the children to understand and explore the characters. They adored making the story boxes and adding props to create a new scene, a perfect lead into writing a new traction man story.
I cannot recommend this book enough and the work that comes from it is wonderful.
