Pupils work collaboratively on the pages of the book to tell a
story about a set of characters. They base their imaginative work
on images of the Clydeside communities and what they know of the
characters from their shared reading. Examples of characters could
be shipyard workers, writers, artists, engineers, shipping,
tobacco, importers and exporters.
