Charlotte from Globe Academy sent me these rad photos and ideas!

“Just some little ideas that I’m trying at the moment. I’m working on how Y10 and 11 students perceive readers – they have to say whether they think each person or character reads for pleasure then decide whose camp they want to be in.

The book bowls are just salad bowls from the pound shop. Thought it was a cheap display method for putting books on tables.’

Thanks Charlotte
