Manga Workshop<br />
for students<br />
I<br />
was asked by Mr Ladva to run a workshop during Book Week. He knows about<br />
my talent as a Manga artist so I was really pleased to be asked. I have never<br />
spoken in front of a large group like this so I was nervous. I created a PowerPoint<br />
presentation. It included what Manga art is, the basics, famous Manga artists and<br />
also some of my own art.<br />
On the day I was happy to see there were lots of students who attended. I showed<br />
them my drawings and we learnt how to draw a person step by step. Students were<br />
amazed to see what they were capable of and the 6th form students did so too. I’m<br />
glad I could share my passion with everyone. It was a wonderful experience.<br />
Zahra Sadiq (year 10)<br />
to pursue my dreams. The memory of her words<br />
are still as vivid as the day I met her.<br />
We also got to see her after school as she was<br />
running a workshop. I learnt a lot about poetry<br />
and how easy it is to structure a poem to make it<br />
sound amazing. She gave us some examples from<br />
people such as Eminem and gave us many points<br />
on what good poems have and how you don’t<br />
have to make poems rhyme. Hearing this from an<br />
actual poet who does this for a living made me<br />
feel more confident to write in this way.<br />
The Molly Case Visit<br />
When<br />
I first walked into the LRC I<br />
was shocked to see Molly Case<br />
and I immediately bought her book “Underneath<br />
the Roses Where I Remembered Everything” and<br />
got it signed. I got to talk to her about many things,<br />
such as what inspired her to become a poet. She<br />
gave me advice about my own writing and how<br />
to work your way up the ladder of success. She<br />
was a very nice person and loved to talk with<br />
us. She said her poems were all about personal<br />
experiences and that you should try to write from<br />
the heart. Her words of knowledge were very<br />
inspiring and gripping. She has encouraged me<br />
Molly set us a task to write our own poems about<br />
our best day ever and she flew round the LRC<br />
like an angel lending us some of her vast amount<br />
of wisdom to help us with our own poems. It<br />
was much easier writing a poem from one’s own<br />
experiences.<br />
I felt very privileged to have the opportunity of<br />
meeting a famous poet and getting to talk to her.<br />
I personally loved the visit and hope the school<br />
has more visits from famous people as I believe it<br />
helps students to get advice from someone who’s<br />
actually been on the rollercoaster of becoming<br />
what they are today. I enjoyed the visit very<br />
much especially when we were allowed to take<br />
a picture with her.<br />
