Literacy Loans

Welcome to the draft web pages for Tees Valley teachers piloting the Literacy Loans scheme. The scheme is simple:

• Plan your sessions with your Education Officer and Writer
• Organise an online session with your Education Officer, so they can introduce students to your object and answer any questions
• Run some historical enquiry activities in your classroom, to really get to know your object
• Work with your writer online in 3 x 40 min sessions
• Follow up with more creative writing activities

To plan your Literacy Loan project follow the four simple steps below.
