As part of the Academy’s reading for fluency programme, all students in Years 7, 8 & 9 are currently reading ‘Fight Back’ by A.M. Dassu. A special video, created by the author for the Academy, will be shown to all students next week. The 60 students who have most engaged with the book will also be invited to virtual workshops with the author on Wednesday 14th December, where they’ll have the opportunity to hear about the inspiration behind the book and to ask their own questions. We are really looking forward to virtually meeting A.M. Dassu and learning about her writing and the plans for her next book.
