[Year 12 IPM] Early commencement work for 2007

[Keith Richardson]

A great question Andrew.
I have not looked at it in detail yet, but plan to use the same
assignment I used this year - it really focussed the kids minds well,
and put us off to a great start that kept its momentum up for the whole
year.
Here it is - what I am trying to do with this one is open the kids eyes
and minds up to what is alreasdy available for them 'out there' where
their mums and dads work. Why did it work so well this year? I am not
sure, but perhaps it started a dialogue at home that embraced a new
relationship between the kids, their parents and my subject.
Cheers, Keith
