Using an interactive whiteboard pupils start creating blooms relating to areas of the book, like characters or setting. The blooms can then become as intricate as you like. The next step is to embed related elements into the blooms, like details of the author or the theme . This is developed on the whiteboard by the pupils using ‘mind genius’.
