Tomorrow will be my first visit to the school, I am very enthusiastic and excited to start working with the students. As a group we will have to pitch our workshop ideas to Louise, who will then let us know whether they could be used or not, one workshop may only be chosen and the rest of the group will join that one. We can also let Louise know of anything else we would be interested in doing. We decided, we would like to get to know the students by letting them get to know a bit about us and our practices and how we have developed from GCSE. We would do this by creating Ice Breakers just to get the students enthusiastic. We would then do some short exercises to get the students comfortable and confident, such as filling squares with specific instructions so each student would interpret them in a different way, Chinese Whispers or short drawing activities etc. This would then lead to the workshop.
Questions to bear in mind and ask Louise or students if possible tomorrow:
- Could we take the students out?
- How will the students be able to document there work?
- Will I be able to work shadow a student and a pupil?
- How frequently can we visit the school in the next month?
- What materials can the school provide?
- Can we use the digital equipment from the school?
- What requirements she wants that we need to include?
- Would the students be interested in historical context?
- What are there expectations?
- Will they require lesson plan worksheets?
- Do we need to fill in attendance registers?
I am hoping that after tomorrow's visit, a bit more will become clear and the workshop that I or we will be doing will become clearer also. Without meeting the students and seeing their work for this project so far, I feel as though I am planning blind.
