Sophi
e Bessemer has emailed me to tell me about this new resource.
It has sections for students and parent as well as teachers. As you
might gather from its name, YJYW is designed for use in Citizenship and
similar classes.
I've had a quick look, and I think that with a bit of tweaking
it would also be useful in the Society, Health and
Development Diploma, since that has a substantial legal
element.
The site contains resources such as ideas for extension work
and role play, links to useful organisations, comprehensive glossaries
and downloadable activity sheets. I need at least one primary
specialist and at least one secondary specialist to review the site.
The review does not have to be the length of War and Peace! A few
paragraphs addressing issues such as accuracy and usability of the
resources, ease of use of the website and so on are all that's needed.
If you're interested, please email me your review. In so doing you will
be assumed to be happy for me to publish your name and a bit about you,
e.g. Freda Blogs is a teacher of Citizenship at a school in
Essex. (You don't have to cite the name of the school if
you'd rather not.) Feel free to provide a website or blog address so
that people can visit you or your place of work. Your email address
won't be published unless you ask for it to be.
I will also assume that you agree with the terms and conditions. You will retain the
copyright.
Now, by so doing you will gain instant fame, though not, alas,
fortune. However, you can bask in the warm glow of knowing that your
reflections may help others. The only thing is (there is
always a catch, isn't there?), I need the review by
24 September. It would help me if you could let me know if you intend to submit a
review.
