I am planning on running a Carnegie Medal group at our school this year.

Have you ever done this or had a child in a group ?

Do you have any advice or tips ?

I have run a few in my time. Have you looked at the website? There are some ideas on there (www.carnegiegreenaway.org.uk/shadowingsite/teachers/resources/carnegie09_activities.pdf). Also if you haven't already you should have a look at the longlist on their website too. If you have a group already you could start them on the books from the list. Some children are not always keen to talk about books so rather than have a group discussion I'd have activities around the covers and blurbs to start with, then once they start reading you can have more activities around the stories themselves.

How old are the children that do this ?
