We had chosen our school, created a badge, created our
characters, written the aims, created a song and it was now time for our
characters to apply for their jobs. We had to write a C.V and a covering
letter. I already had a C.V written so I just adapted it for this, but for
those that had to start from scratch I think it was too much work. I would not
do this with a primary class but it might be more suited to a secondary class.
I would use the covering letter as it provides plenty opportunity for the
children to come up with all sorts of ideas about their character. For example,
my character ended up with psychic powers. The applications were handed in
and all we could do was wait and see what position we would be offered.
At
the start of the next input we were all excited to hear which class we would be
teaching. I can see how well this would work in the primary school as the
children become more deeply involved in the story. I was assigned the position
of nursery teacher as it was thought my psychic powers would be best suited
there.
Creating
a school website was our next task. We really only had time to sample this but
I really enjoyed it. This would be a relevant chapter to do with the
children, especially in this day in age where technology is so widely used. It
is also a good way of linking to ICT without being contrived. This is something
that the children would enjoy and they could all have a different section to
work on with real results at the end. Here is the link to our attempts at a
school website.
