I wrote some made a case for writing as a aid to dialogue and made practical suggestions for working with children and young people. At the moment, I'm working on an ebook concentrating on using writing in P4C.

I added bits in 2007 after a training session in which teachers said they were interested in working with small groups in P4C sessions. I added a few things on writing. Maybe it will be useful to someone or maybe someone will make a comment.

The original version was published in back in the day SAPERE had a journal that I edited. (Steve)

We asked to imagine some monsters came to school who wanted to eat them. They had to persuade the monsters not to. We suggested the pupils did some drawing and we made the whole thing into a little story.
