Based on Sally Pomme Clayton and Amin Hassanzadeh Sharif's book, The Phoenix of Persia, this workshop combines storytelling and puppetry with music for a fun and engaging experience.

Designed to be adaptable to the needs of your learners and delivered in your classroom, the workshop can consist of any, or all, of the following:

  • interactive sensory storytelling, using music, puppetry and props
  • using comprehension skills to create music for a character or a page of the story, using musical instruments (in small groups or as a class)
  • a guessing game to explore the plot of the story
  • an introduction to the British Library and our collections.

The length of the workshop can range from 15 minutes to 1 hour.
