About BritLit
This kit was made by a group of Portuguese teachers who attended one of the two week intensive training courses for materials writers at the Norwich Institute of Language and Education (NILE), funded by the EU Comenius fund. Their principle trainers were Claudia Ferradas and Susan Hillyard, and they worked with Tony Mitton during the course. This group also wrote the ‘Down by the Cool of the Pool’, available on this website, for younger children.
The team of teachers were:
Ivone Parreira Pinto
Fernanda Cássio Pêra
Mafalda Ferrari
Paula Aires
Cristiana Cabral
Sofia Botelho Ribeiro
Veríssimo Toste
Teresa Verdade Ferreira
Fernanda Roque
Rosa Santos
Graça Baleizão
Irene Galrito
Florêncio Moniz
Adelina Santos
Paula Döbele
Isabel Brites (group leader)
The poems are read by Tony Mitton and original artwork is by Rob Lenihan
