'The Shape of Stories'
"I think these are brilliant prompts to help our students see, consider and talk about the ‘shape of stories’. In doing so, it can bring to life sterile analysis of structure into something more meaningful."

'Is there a hidden problem with writing in secondary schools?'
"Writing aids thinking. If pupils cannot write fluently, automatically, clearly and cogently, then their thinking slows...every subject proves harder."
