- 17. 2 min Introduction Survival scenario Introduce ourselves Emphasise that this might seem silly but it’s actually quite useful for own research. 5 min Ice breaker discussion: Zombie fiction vs zombie non-fiction What we think we know about zombies – keywords added to the board What we actually know – where could we look for reliable information? 5 min Discussion and demo: Good resources vs bad resources “What makes a good reliable resource?” “Which of these sources would you trust or not trust?” Look at different sites and discuss which ones could be useful and why. 10 min Hands-on activity Using the Zomguide to answer the work sheets. Staff to distribute worksheets based on age/ability. 3 min Close Closing discussion included all the best things they’d found from the Zomguide & whose brain they’d like to eat Timing Topic Activity 2014 lesson plan
- 18. Feedback from 2014 Very popular – 190 attendees & 30-40 turnaways at Chelmsford alone Parents were very positive and could see the value Attendees enjoyed themselves Misleading description in the programme - “Felt like homework” People don’t read signs or programmes It’s best to be over prepared – extra activities are always useful
- 19. 2015 What did we change for this year?
- 20. 2015 Older age range: 12-16 More accurate description for the programme Changed the survival scenario Augmented reality apps: HeartCam was very popular (and gross) Activity packs rather than single worksheets Lots of posters – thanks to the budget from Outreach! Improved the Zomguide & made a ReadingList Timetabled a break for lunch! “How doing your homework could save your life!”
- 21. The Open Access area at Cambridge
- 22. 2015 Feedback 40 attendees Cambridge session was held in the Open Access area instead of a classroom Activity pack worked well Most children were younger than we’d planned for Each session was different depending on who turned up and we lost the “community survival” theme
- 23. My advice
- 24. Have a clear plan Always have back-up activities (or 5) ready for emergencies One off events are a great chance to experiment with new ideas Group activities don’t work well for Open Day events It’s ok if not all staff will find this as much fun as you do! Seriously, no-one reads signs or programmes
- 25. Tips for working with children (if you’ve never done it before) • Don’t be scared of them • Talk to them normally – no-one likes being patronised • It’s ok if one won’t talk to you there is always another one who will… a lot! • Children love gross things • You are not responsible for controlling their behaviour • Enjoy it!
