Dear Maggie,
The loans boxes at the National Coal Mining Museum for England contain
laminated notes. These include a contents list, guidelines for handling
objects and object information sheets including pictures. Also included are
object investigation sheets which encourage students to look closely,
explore and record their object, an evaluation questionnaire for teachers
using the resource, and a simple quiz.
Other than objects, our loans boxes can contain copies of photographs,
larger images for display, details of period games, craft activities and
copies of original source material.
I am hoping to evaluate the loans service to schools, so would be really
grateful if you could advise me on how you have managed your teacher
consultations. I would also be interested to know if you think our loans
boxes are missing anything that teachers need to support the resource.
Thanks,
Stephanie Hawke
Education Assistant
