International School Library Month 2015
Theme: The School Library Rocks
Projects
The ISLM Bookmark Project involves matched schools
making homemade bookmarks (any style, shape, etc - be creative) to exchange
with each other.
This year Marie O’Brien of Australia
and a team of her school colleagues will co-ordinate the 2015 Bookmark Exchange
Project.
The Bookmark Exchange Project is a simple, fun way of
sharing the pleasure and delights of books and libraries and of making new
friends through school libraries worldwide. If you and your students did not
get involved last year perhaps you will this year.
You might wish your students to communicate with each
other as you make your bookmarks so that they can learn something about another
culture and a different way of life. Alternatively, your students might do an
in-depth investigation about each other’s localities. If you don’t want to do
either of these things you can simply just swap bookmarks or devise your own
activity. What you make of your exchange is entirely up to you.
If you are unable to use the spreadsheet you can email Marie O'Brien direct.
Please make sure, if you are emailing your information, that you include as
much of the following information as you can:
- your school's name
- your school's location
(city, state/province/country)
- the grade/grades of the
students to be involved
- the approximate age of
the students in each separate group
- the number of students in
each group (this is very important to ensure you are matched to a school
or other group of a similar size)
- your Bookmark
Coordinator’s contact information (name and email address - include a
contact email where you can be reached during any school holidays)
Matching will be taking place between August and the
end of September.
Please note the
following:
- You should aim to send
the bookmarks to your matched school in October
- In order to avoid
disappointment for students and teachers in your matched school, please
follow through on your bookmark swap commitment.
Please register for the project, using either the
Google spreadsheet or by email, as soon as possible. If you have sent us your
details and have not had them acknowledged by the end of August please resend
them.
Would your students like to talk to others in a far
away country during International School Library Month? The trick is finding
someone in a time zone where you can link up via Skype during a school day.
Join in the fun! If you would like to be part of the
Skype Project, please complete the Survey Monkey form to receive a
possible match for your school or group.
If you experience difficulties completing the form or
have any queries please contact Marie for assistance.
