Hi Michelle,
I am a teacher of Primary 7 and I have used Wolf Brother with previous classes who have absolutely loved learning about mesolithic man and all the rich learning that goes along with the story. I am keen to use it again, but this time encourage the children to analyse the text a bit more, looking at literary features you use to enhance their own writing. Do you allow classroom use of this text on whiteboards/ photocopying extracts? I have a large class and although we have a few copies, we cannot afford to buy for the whole class.

Many Thanks.

Hello, Jess, thanks for your question.  Under the Copyright Act, you’re allowed to copy extracts for non-commercial use, as long as they’re not too long (as in, for example, entire chapters) – so I think what you’re doing is fine. I’m so glad that the children are enjoying Wolf Brother, and that it’s helping their understanding of the Mesolithic!  With best wishes, Michelle
