Literature teachers exposed to TV script writing

A three-day basic academic instructional television (TV) script writing workshop for secondary school teachers who teach Literature (English B) at the Caribbean Secon-dary Education Certificate (CSEC) level, organized by the Multimedia Unit of the National Centre for Educa-tional Resource Development (NCERD) which is responsible for the Guyana Learning Channel, concluded recently with the various participants receiving certificates.

The workshop which saw 18 teachers participating from across the region, was the second of its kind aimed at bolstering the television programme needs of the Learning Channel to benefit students who are about to write their CSEC exams. The previous workshop held by NCERD was focused on the area of science, while this recent endeavour was entirely on literature.

Participants were required to bring a lesson plan of their choice from a literature or history book, and were guided into making the lesson into an instructional TV script for production by
