As a regular school author visitor, I've made over 2,000 school author visits and conducted whole-school Assembly Shows and individual Class Workshops for more than 400,000 children. Lots of schools do class work on my books either before or after the visit.<br />
<br />
Using the 'Reading Room' from the 'My Story House' learning system, I encourage children to READ-TO-WRITE: advising them to read as many books as they can by as many authors as they can to help them plan and write their own stories.<br />
<br />
One author I suggest children may like to discover is S. F. SAID (more below). An A-Z list of more suggested children's authors for children to discover is on my website: <a href="https://www.jacktrelawny.com/read-to-write.html">https://www.jacktrelawny.com/read-to-write.html</a><br />

<br />
S. F. Said (born 1967) is a British children's writer.<br />
<br />
Said was born in Beirut in 1967 and spent his first years in Jordan. He grew up in the Iraqi community in London, moving there with his mother at the age of two. After graduating from the University of Cambridge, he worked as a press attaché and speech writer for the Crown Prince of Jordan’s office in London for six years. He began a Ph.D. in 1997 looking at the lives of young Muslims in Britain, but left academia to focus on film journalism for the Daily Telegraph – where he brought attention to much so-called world cinema, including contemporary Islamic cinema – and on writing for children.<br />
<br />
His first novel was Varjak Paw, illustrated by Dave McKean and published by David Fickling Books in January 2003; four months later in the U.S. Said wrote 17 drafts of the book. It tells the story of a Mesopotamian Blue cat called Varjak who leaves his sheltered upbringing to explore the city and learn the "Seven Skills of the Way", taught to him in dreams by his ancestor Jalal. In his dreams, Varjak finds himself transported from his gritty urban surroundings to the deserts, rivers and mountains of Mesopotamia (ancient Iraq). With the Skills, he is able to fight the Gentleman and, in The Outlaw Varjak Paw (2005), the domineering "white cat with one eye", Sally Bones, who is invading the territories of other cats and ruling them with torture and terror. Varjak Paw won the 2003 Nestlé Smarties Book Prize, reader ages 6–8 years, and The Outlaw Varjak Paw won the 2007 Blue Peter Book of the Year. Varjak was staged as a play by Playbox Theatre, and was performed as an opera by The Opera Group in 2008.<br />
<br />
Phoenix (2013) is a longer novel written for older children. The Internet Speculative Fiction Database calls it young-adult science fiction rather than (animal) fantasy. It made the shortlist of four books for the 2014 Guardian Children's Fiction Prize, whose judges recommended it for ages 10 and up, and whose coverage by The Guardian called it a "space epic".<br />

VARJAK PAW: <a href="https://amzn.to/2yzM36p">https://amzn.to/2yzM36p</a><br />
Varjak Paw is a Mesopotamian Blue kitten. He lives high up in an old house on a hill. He's never left home, but then his grandfather tells him about the Way - a secret martial art for cats. Now Varjak must use the Way to survive in a city full of dangerous dogs, cat gangs and, strangest of all, the mysterious Vanishings.<br />

Having saved the city cats from a fate worse than death, Varjak Paw finds himself the elected and popular leader of a new gang - a gang that supports freedom and kindness for all. But will the pressure take its toll on this brave yet sometimes naive cat? Soon the city erupts in an all-out gang war as the evil Sally Bones attempts to control the lives of all cats. Horrified and outnumbered, Varjak and the others must fight for their freedom or die trying; can Jalal's Way really be the best way? This is another thrilling adventure, eagerly awaited by all Varjak fans, both young and old.<br />

Ganda is a happy young rhinoceros living on the Plains of India. One day, he and his mother visit the watering hole. Ferocious hunters attack. Stolen and chained, Ganda begins an incredible journey: from Asia to Africa to Europe. Can the heroes - Ganda, Akeem the apprentice zookeeper, Princess Aisha of Gujarat, and Tikki the clever tickbird - foil the plans of Raja Kadar, the tyrant of Rajasthan?<br />
<br />
This is the first book in Jack Trelawny's 'Thirteen Things' series... 13 stories inspired by the joint British Museum and BBC Project: 'A History of the World in 100 Objects'. Jack is visiting hundreds of schools to show children how he turns the true stories of the real objects into fiction.<br />

<b>THREE MILLION TREES</b><br />
<b>WILL BE AVAILABLE TO SCHOOLS</b><br />
<b>AND COMMUNITY GROUPS TO PLANT</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today, the Woodland Trust launches its First World War Centenary Woods project which will see millions of trees planted across the UK and four flagship woods created – in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland – to commemorate the Centenary of the First World War.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Some of the trees that will be planted at the new woodland </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">in Epsom,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Surrey, </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">include alder, beech, blackthorn, wild cherry and crab apple</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The "centenary woods" will be formed by volunteers planting trees and plants.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Volunteers can find out about their ancestors who took part in the war and dedicate trees in memory. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The woods are expected to span more than 1,000 acres collectively.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Three million free trees will also be available to schools and community groups to plant, the charity said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The trust said the trees would "transform the landscape into rich, vibrant and flourishing woodland", and prove to be a fitting legacy for those who lost their lives in the 1914-1918 war.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The first trees will be planted this autumn,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">and the project is set to continue until autumn 2018</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sites in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are yet to be chosen for the woodlands, while for England a 640-acre site near Epsom, Surrey, has already been earmarked.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The site at Langley Vale will be bigger than the Olympic Park and have space to include 200,000 trees, and it will link up pockets of existing woodland.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y_dtRO4jwG0/Ux7Vu6bMRrI/AAAAAAAADPM/pj6R_WPJ_MI/s1600/Woodland-Trust-WWI-trees-03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y_dtRO4jwG0/Ux7Vu6bMRrI/AAAAAAAADPM/pj6R_WPJ_MI/s1600/Woodland-Trust-WWI-trees-03.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The Woodland Trust hopes the trees will stand for hundreds of years</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">'Resilience'</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Woodland Trust project director Karl Mitchell said: "The trees planted during the course of this £12 million project will stand for hundreds of years, providing a lasting tribute to all those involved in the First World War.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"We hope to see many thousands of people getting involved by planting their own tribute or dedicating trees in memory of loved ones.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"As well as representing enormous strength and bravery shown by the nation during World War One, the trees that are planted during the course of the project will help strengthen our natural landscape, increasing its resilience to the threats posed by pests and diseases."</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<b>World Book Day came early to Radwinter Primary School</b></div>
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Author Jack Trelawny inspires children at village school</b></div>
<br />
Jack Trelawny, author of the Kernowland series of books, visited the school and talked about his work and books, and what inspired them with ideas for creating imaginary characters and settings.<br />
<br />
Year 6 pupil Lauren Porthouse said: “The talk was truly inspirational and will definitely help with our story writing.”<br />
<br />
Class 4 teacher Mrs Powell added “The children were enthralled by his talk. His mythical characters certainly captured their imagination.<br />
<br />
“Many of the children bought signed copies of his books and were looking forward to reading them to find out more about the magical land of Kernowland.”<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Writing Ideas - Vocabulary</span></div>
<div>
When I visit schools, I show children some of the ideas I've learned about writing with My Story House. Writing is an important part of communicating with others. You need to write in a way your reader can easily understand what you are trying to tell them. <i>Vocabulary</i> refers to all of the words we use to read, talk, and write. When you use vocabulary well, you can speak more clearly, read lots of different texts, and write down your ideas in a much more interesting way. The more words you know, the more you will have to say! Games can be fun way to learn things about writing. Try the 'Vocabulary' game with Gonch below.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Writing Ideas - Story Planning</span></div>
When I visit schools, I show children some of the ideas I've learned about planning a story and share with them how important I think it is to make a plan with <i>My Story House</i>. Set the scene at the beginning, try to build up the excitement in the middle, and, at the end, say what happens to the characters, clear up mysteries, and tie up any loose ends. Remember, it's fine to make rough, scribbled notes when planning (as long as you can read them!) but always use neat, clear writing when it comes to writing the story itself. Games can be fun way to learn things about writing. Try these writing games and complete the Wall of Sorrow - or you'll be... Trapped!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Writing Ideas - Reports</span></div>
When I visit schools, I show children some of the ideas I've learned about writing with <i>My Story House</i>. Writing is an important part of communicating with others. You need to write in a way your reader can easily understand what you are trying to tell them. A <i>report</i> is a formal text that gives you information about a subject that you are interested in and would like to know more about. It is different from a recount or an explanation text because it isn't written in the order that things happen. Games can be fun way to learn things about writing. Try the 'Reports' game below.<br />

<div>
When I visit schools, I show children some of the ideas I've learned about writing with My Story House. Writing is an important part of communicating with others. You need to write in a way your reader can easily understand what you are trying to tell them. <i>Recounts</i> are a way of retelling an important event or describing an experience that you have had to others, such as a school trip or a funny story. Games can be fun way to learn things about writing. Try the 'Recounts' game with Major Moustache below.</div>

When I visit schools, I show children some of the ideas I've learned about writing with <i>My Story House</i>. Writing is an important part of communicating with others. You need to write in a way your reader can easily understand what you are trying to tell them. <i>Leaflets</i> and brochures give the reader a message in a small amount of space, usually one or two sides of a small page. As well as being informative, leaflets often try to persuade the reader to do something. Games can be fun way to learn things about writing. Try the 'Leaflets' game with the Midnight Bride below.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Writing Ideas - Instructions</span></div>
When I visit schools, I show children some of the ideas I've learned about writing with <i>My Story House</i>. Writing is an important part of communicating with others. You need to write in a way your reader can easily understand what you are trying to tell them. <i>Instructions</i> tell the reader how to do something such as cook a recipe, build a model, put furniture together, play a game or get from one place to another. Games can be fun way to learn things about writing. Try the 'Instruction' game with Big Babies below.<br />

<br />
Opening from 'Moby Dick' by Herman Melville...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
+++</div>
<br />
Call me Ishmael. Some years ago -- never mind how long precisely -- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
+++</div>
<br />
Moby Dick is the story of Captain Ahab's quest for revenge on the whale that ‘reaped’ his leg. Among the ship's crew is Ishmael, the novel's narrator, ordinary sailor, and extraordinary reader.<br />
<br />
In my Kernowland series, I have used a similar idea of revenge on an awesome beast being the driving force behind Captain Pigleg's obsession. The pirate leader seeks revenge on the great wild boar that took his leg. He will stop at nothing to achieve this end, including gathering a hold full of slavechildren to be used as bait on his quest.<br />
<br />
You can find <i>Moby Dick</i> in the 'Jack's Favourite Books' section of my <a href="http://www.jacktrelawny.com/" target="_blank">Reading Store</a>.<br />

On 1st March 2013, I visited Holt Farm Junior School, in Rochford, Essex. It was great fun presenting the 'Edutainment' slideshow and talking to the children about my books and answering questions about reading and writing before signing all the books at the very end.<br />
<br />
The school has put up some pictures on their website, to help other schools decide if they would like to organise a similar event. These pictures tell the story of an author visit from start to finish. They start with the set up of the hall, where the school has prepared everything in advance, like the posters, pre-visit activities, and tables ready for the 'Edutainment' Show and Book Signing Session. Then there are pictures of the Show in progress, including the Chapter Reading and the Question and Answer Session. After that, there are some pictures of the Book Signing Session, which is just like an event in a shop, except it comes right to your school! And finally, I get a chance to sign the books for the school library and say thank you to the teachers and other members of staff who have organised the visit. Thank you very much to everyone at Holt Farm Junior School for the big welcome you gave me and for sharing all these pictures of the event in the right order... just like a storyboard for a news or 'reporting' type of story!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
'Are we nearly there yet?' moaned Louis, for the twelfth time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
'Stop asking that,' scolded Tizzie, 'you are nearly eight you know.'</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
'Not long now,' said Mr Bennett, smiling patiently.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
+++</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tizzie and Louis are on holiday in Cornwall when they enter Echo Cave and are transported through the Crystal Pool to the amazing and mysterious Kingdom of Kernowland in Erthwurld. Kidnapped by the nasty Melanchol Drym to be sold as slaves to Cap'n Pigleg and his pirates, they are soon separated in a slave auction at the Polperro Inn. Their plight looks hopeless. Until Louis is helped by the kindly Mr Sand. Now, before he can go home, the young boy has to rescue his sister. Will he be able to find and rescue Tizzie before she is sold on by the pirates and lost forever in Erthwurld?</div>
