Year 7 students worked with Carole Richards and nine business ambassadors to fulfil roles within the world of publishing, in order to produce and launch the next best-selling vampire book.
To gain a better understanding of the publishing world and to practise their creative writing and employability skills, students took on the roles of the following for a day:
- an author
- an illustrator
- blurb writer
- spine designer
- merchandiser
- sales team
All nine local employers were suitably impressed with the student's efforts and emphasised the importance of young people understanding and practising employability skills, so that they are better prepared for the world of work.
Well done Year 7 - I bet it was a good read!
