  1. Wednesday 30th September International Project

  2. In this week’s sessions I will: Start the second year of a project with Korea and Taiwan Learn all about our new link schools in Korea and Taiwan

  5. International Links at LHS • Korea • Taiwan • China and Hong Kong • Thailand • Afghanistan • The Czech Republic • Canada • Spain • Ghana • Nigeria • Sweden • Greece • Romania • Yemen • France • The Republic of Ireland

  6. Our school’s expanding global community • In June 2008, teachers from our school visited Korea. • They wanted to make new links with schools in Korea and Taiwan so that pupils at LHS could gain international friends and learn more about life in the Far East. • Last May Mr Donnelly visited Taiwan and helped to make the links between the three countries even stronger. Now Litherland has some new link schools that have become part of our Global Community of students and teachers.

  7. What do we get out of this partnership? • You are about to enter the second year of an exciting international project, making contact on the internet and by post with pupils of around your age in Korea and Taiwan. • This year, pupils from our school (yr 10) are going to be visiting Taiwan and in the future we hope that some more well behaved pupils from LHS will have the chance to visit Korea and Taiwan!

  8. You will also get the chance to complete a project and swap work with people who are thousands of miles away. Technology means that distance doesn’t matter in our world as much any more and that we are truly all Global Citizens working in a Global Learning Community

  9. Session One Gathering information…

  10. Memory, Listening and Self Management Skills • Listen carefully to the information you are going to hear. You will need to show that you can work well independently and process information effectively to succeed in this task. • Take notes in your books if you want to do well. • There will be a team challenge at the end so be prepared!

  37. Include: • Information about the number of students • The ‘goals’ of the school • The school motto and logo • Extra curricular activities on offer Things to think about: • How will you attract the attention of parents? • Will you have a big heading with the school’s name? • Will you have a slogan? • Will you use the school motto as the heading? • Will you use illustrations/drawings?

  38. Session 2

  39. International Project • This year, the project with Korea and Taiwan is about Tomorrow’s World. We will investigate inventions of the 20th Century and how they have changed our lives. • We will then look at new inventions and become young inventors ourselves by eventually taking part in a competition with our link schools. • We will also be sharing the work we do with pupils in Korea and Taiwan.

  40. Part 1

  41. Changing technology in the 20th Century

  42. Inventions challenge • With a partner, try to think of as many things as possible that • you have around you either at home or in school that have been • invented by somebody to try to make people’s lives better or • easier in some way. • Eg) • a toaster (so you don’t have to grill toast) • A microwave ( so you don’t have to wait an hour for your tea) • A projector (so the teacher doesn’t have to write on the board!) • Blinds (to stop the sun from getting in your eyes) • Make two lists – you have 8 minutes!! • Invention How it makes life better The pair with the most inventions at the end will win a prize

  43. Great Inventions of our time Pay close attention as there will be a quiz at the end of the lesson!

  44. Over the last century, some people have had really good ideas about how we can improve our lives and have invented things to help us to do just that. • However, sometimes when we look back at early versions of things we know and love they are not always so impressive and can be quite amusing to look at!

  45. The computer

  46. 1970s 1960s The first Computers! 1980s

  47. At first, the men who invented computers thought that by 2009 robots would be walking the earth alongside people and that computers would be even bigger than they were at the start! • It didn’t quite happen like that!

  48. The Spectrum Computer This is a computer that some of your older relatives might remember as being the first real games console. You had to use your TV or buy a special monitor and all of the games were on cassette tape!!

  49. The Amiga 500 A step up from the Spectrum! If you had one of these you were lucky as everybody wanted one!! It had the first disk drives we had really seen on home computers

  50. Some games available with the Amiga
