The Badger book contains a range of advice on the importance of timing. Many colleagues will be on half term this week and so miss out on teaching on the actual day itself, but with prior notice, a holiday task can be set if a day falls within one.
The GLOBAL DIMENSION Calendar is a useful resource in this regard. It is given out each year in the TES as a hardcopy. This year's was in a recent issue, so you may have missed getting your hand on a copy, but the web version is available all the time. For example, June the 12th is World Day against Child Labour, so that's an opportunity to explore the issues surrounding the production of products that young people may own.
As we move into July, we enter Oxfam World Water Week too, so that's one to plan ahead for....
Don't forget to check out the wonderful Frozen Oceans packs on the Digital Explorer Oceans website which I contributed to. Plenty of interest there to get you thinking about the value of the oceans, and the threat of ocean acidification on this World Oceans Day.
Also check out the #worldoceansday tweets...
Plenty of interesting people to follow...
