Enterprising Libraries Event 5 March 2013 Whitechapel Idea Store
YOUR CLASS Your class can be about anything and can be structured in any way you like. Just be sure that you feel comfortable setting the tone and sharing information. You are in charge during your class! Past topics and approaches to teaching have ranged from butter-making workshops to foraging walking tours; from business lectures to group discussions. BARTER ITEMS Think of the barter items you ask for as a giant wish list. Make it as long and as creative as you can. This is a way for students to get to know you, or to begin learning about your topic before class begins. Try to ask for skills and non-monetary things (like research, advice, tips, help cleaning up, enthusiasm) as much as monetary-requests (like clothes, food, materials, etc.).
