How To Submit work....
We understand that your time is limited. We want to make the submission process as easy as possible. The best way we have found for you to do this is as a powerpoint presentation. Firstly, you won't be judged on your artistic presentation of the powerpoint! You don't need to spend hours making it look fancy, we just want the relevant information from you. Teachers who have submitted in the past, say that they created a document at the beginning and added to it across the term. Just for submitting work, we will send you a book token for the class! We would like to see...
1. Pictures of classroom displays
Displays and classroom transformations are a great way to immerse the class in the project. A couple of photos of each display will do.
2. Literacy work
If you have a digital medium term plan incorporating the Shakespeare related work you've done we'd love to see it. We'd also like some examples (photos) of childrens' work.
3. Art/DT
Any pictures of work produced by the class would be great, along with photos of them doing it.
4. Rehearsal feedback
You could ask children for feedback on the rehearsals and record it as you go along. It's great for us to be able to have first hand feedback on how the project is going, it's also useful for our funders.
5. Any other subject
If you use the resources provided, or think of your own ways to use the play across the curriculum send us some info/pictures.
6. A Teacher Statement
Perhaps the most useful feedback we could have. Write a short piece talking about the impact on your class - enjoyment, any particular child that has unexpectedly excelled, how you found the project and the journey across the term. It's really important that we hear from you, it enables us to try to keep improving what we do.
7. Any SLT feedback
