The Virtues could be the pair’s most bracing work yet, which is saying something. They first worked together on This Is England, initially on the 2006 film and then on the TV series, which ran for three seasons on Channel 4 and told the story of a group of Midlands skinheads-turned-ravers in the 1980s and beyond. It was on the set of the film that Meadows firstmentioned his idea for The Virtues. “It’s not completely autobiographical,” says Graham, “but there are elements of Joseph that are me and Shane combined. We’ve all had our own bits of darkness: self-doubt, fear, self-loathing. I know I have. My family and friends have pulled me through.” SGJ: I’ve had to train myself to have no writing rituals because when you have writing rituals, like I’ve got to have the blinds twisted this much, I gotta have this candle, that glass of wine, and the dog has to be over here…all the stuff you do? That’s great if it promotes your writing. However, you’re just kind of arming yourself with excuses not to write, you know? Over the last couple of decades I’ve had to train myself to write on trains, in hotel lobbies, and especially on airplanes. The last two, two-and-a-half, three weeks? I’ve been on the road nearly every single day, and I think I’ve written…what is it? Three stories, one comic script, and an essay. Just because I have to. It’s not about “Do I have time?” It’s about “I’ve got to do it”, you know? Made the generalisation that most students enter middle school with their literacy and writing predominantly based on narratives and stories. This means that pronouns have very different meanings depending on whether it is an information text or a narrative. Not enough to just learn how to decode or spell unless they are taught skills to pull it all together to make sense. Talked about teaching reading a text without referring to the content - more content is not needed, as the goal needs to be that literacy knowledge is transferable. Stephen then talked about the underperformance of boys in Australian schools, citing that one of the reasons being that boys are focussed on the content – being unable to tell the difference between discussion, reports, analysis etc. Bram Stoker Award Winners & Nominees".

Australian literacy level in schools is second in the world after Finland. Australian teachers are sought after around the world for their literacy expertise – with 1300 of them working as literacy consultants in New York. Australian teachers are generally reflective and will continually re-visit until students gain the skills or concepts - he believed that his experience in the US is that teachers feel pressured to move on regardless of whether all kids "have got it".To write well, children must be able to say it well. Use the correct language: noun, noun, pronoun,pronoun, noun. For example, Toby the toy dog story. Have the children physically make the story by standing to say eachsentencein the story. LS: As a reader, I certainly didn’t come away feeling like he was like the hero of the story, as much as he was the protagonist in the story, cause I liked how you sort of shaded in—again I don’t want to spoil the story—but the way that you sort of shaded in what’s actually going on so that you start to see more and more what the reality is versus his perception of the reality. You cannot put after and following next to each other. You must slide another time connective in between or it becomes too complex.
