RESEARCH ACTIVITY: Get In Contact With Schools
Details
Deadline
I need to get in contact with some schools to get some information from teachers and possibly students. I would like to know what are the subjects that the students struggle with the most and how they learn best. I want to do this so I can produce work that combats a problem as that is how I work best when I think I am making a solution to something. I could also see if there are topics that they think should be taught in school. RESEARCH ACTIVITY: Talk to parents Deadline Details I’d like to talk to parents, to see if there are skills or topics which they think should be taught to their children, which the curriculum doesn’t cover in helping them leaving school. RESEARCH ACTIVITY: Talk to Papyrus Charity Deadline Details I’d like to get in contact with the papyrus charity, I want to do this so I could find information in which I can add to the colouring book idea. I want this to be informative to fit my practice, so getting some primary research from them would help the project. RESEARCH ACTIVITY: Discover the best topics in the Met Office Deadline Details I am going to research the best topics to illustrate for the Met Office, I am going to use the ‘Evergreen’ information as it informs my practice, but there are numerous articles written by them, so I want to discover the most important, necessary articles to illustrate.
