Quick projects
Many of the projects we suggest need a
'lead time' for planning and curriculum linking. But what if you
need something to do in class right away? Here are our top six
ideas.
If you already have a partner
school...
1. You can incorporate it by preparing classwork to send
to the school, or even just discussions that involve role play,
where some learners pretend to be from the partner school. You
don't need to plan ahead with the partner school.
This is what teachers really like about school partnerships:
they find it creates a concrete example that learners will
recognise, remember and identify with.

2. You can share an online resource such as a story or poem,
to stimulate international awareness and link that to your topic
work.

3. We help you plan projects for you and your link school(s).
These can utilise ICT, be creative, have local significance or just
enhance a specific part of your curriculum.

If you don't yet have a partner
school...
4. You can 'borrow one' from Sierra Leone or Malawi whenever
you like...
5. You can look at children of all ages writing
about rivers on eLanguages. It will give you some ideas about
putting together a presentation on your local river or one that you
study for sharing with children in other countries - the best
format is to use PowerPoint.
6. You can join another project that is already up and running.
