This week we held our first non-fiction D.E.A.R event. Non-fiction texts being seen as those about existing things and as informative. Described in a TED talk as ‘healing the mind’ such texts are associated with increasing general knowledge and skills. Students and staff positively engaged in the activity by bringing in and reading a form of non-fiction ranging from biographies and essays on art to newspapers and diaries.

The opportunity for students to select texts in which they are interested further increases their knowledge on a subject as well as sharing other views of everyday events and so, exposing them to different understandings of things they often take for granted. Not only expanding student language and literacy skill but also often developing further their cultural exposure.
