Day and time of session / Subjects covered / Key objectives / Session title/description / Resources including websites
Write day/time of session here. Because some sessions are long, you may want to write two times (e.g. Tues 1:30 – 3:00 and Wed: 11:00 – 12:00) / Write the subjects covered – highlight according to whether each is ‘skills’ or ‘content’ / Write/paste (from session-plans) the key objectives here – sometimes these are ‘skills-based’ (e.g. create pencil or charcoal drawings of old clocks…) and sometimes these are ‘content-based’ (e.g. put old clocks in order on a timeline). / Either write your own, very slightly expanded, session title that makes it clear what this session is basically about, or you can (if the school insists!) copy and paste the description from the word document of Theme session descriptions. / Write/paste ALL the resources you need here – you can copy and paste from the Hamilton Topic Resources document which is provided in WORD format).
You should highlight anything important about the session that you need to remember. E.g. ‘Ask some parents to help with this…’ or ‘Needs the computer room…’ Also highlight any texts required, e.g. needs Hamilton Animated Tale Time Machine Mark III.
