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.
