Suggested Timetable
You and your partner teacher can create the timetable that suits you best, but we suggest that you follow these general guidelines:
Week of May 16
- Read over the guidelines and suggested activities and see which ones appeal the most to you and fit the best with your other teaching plans.
- Receive information about your partner teacher from Tate, and e-mail them to introduce yourself and talk a bit about your classes. You may want to discuss what kinds of subjects your students are studying, what skill levels, strengths, and weaknesses your students might have, and the kind of time you are willing to spend on this project alongside your other teaching responsibilities. It might also be useful for you to exchange some information about the areas in which you live, since you may never have visited your partner teacher's area before.
Week of May 23
- Contact your partner teacher again to decide which activity or activities you would like to do with your classes (you will need to do the same ones). Depending on how much time you have available during the three weeks, you can choose to do just one activity or you may be able to select more than one.
- Make sure that you have all the necessary materials ready for the activities you have chosen, including access to a digital camera.
Weeks of June 6 and June 13
- Begin your chosen activity or activities with your class. Aim to work on them a few times during the week.
- During the weeks, e-mail your partner teacher to let them know how your work is progressing and how students are responding to learning about their own region of Britain.
- During the weeks, take digital photographs of the children while they are working on the project and take digital photographs of their work, if applicable.
- At the end of these two weeks (sometime around June 15-17), e-mail your digital photos and any accompanying text to your partner class so that they can look at your work and learn about your region of Britain.
Week of June 20
- Begin to wrap up the project. Make sure that you and your partner class have exchanged all of your work.
- Look at the work done by your partner class and think about the similarities and differences that their work shows between the two regions of Britain you live in. What has your partner class taught you about their region?
- With your class, write up a one-page report telling what activities you have done, what you have learned about your own area, and what you have learned about the region in which your partner class lives. Send it to your partner class.
- With your partner teacher, select about 10-20 of the digital photos you have both taken, and that you feel best represent the project. Also select some of the text, documents or e-mails exchanged between you, to show the results of your project. Your 10-20 selected digital photos, your chosen text documents and your two class reports will be the final result of your project.
- If you would like to submit your project to Tate, you will be able to do so on a special Web page form that will allow you to upload text and digital photos (see the Submitting Your Project page for more information). This Web page will be available in June, and you will receive an e-mail from Tate when it is ready to use.
- Decide which of you will upload your final project to the Web page, and upload your information. Tate will select a number of projects to showcase online in July.
If you are experiencing difficulties with the project, the E-Learning Curator will be available to help you at
maggie.hills@tate.org.uk.
