1. If you allow your children to use the net, please read this warning and discuss it with your children. A warning for children and Parents about giving information out on the net. It is part of on my lessonplans for my students and their parents. You can use your back key to return to this page.
2. Faith in Schools I am currently involved in looking at how we can implement a program to help students learn social responsibility at my school, this site is timely and although one would think it is concerned soley with religion because of the name, it is not. Faith in Schools has provides me with a starting point which will help me develop materials for my program, take a look at it. It is sponsored by the four main churches in Ireland - Anglican, Roman Catholic, Methodist and Presbyterian - and the Belfast Hebrew Community. The purpose of the site is to support religious studies in schools and to assist in the exploration of the Core Curriculum in Religious Education which was agreed by these four churches and approved by the Department of Education for Northern Ireland. But if you are teaching social responsibliity or history you can use the lessons as well.

   An example of the type of classroom activity found on the site: "Major historical events seldom occur without warning. The foundation for World War I began to be laid as early as the 1870's. Ask the students to develop a timeline from 1870 to 1914 illustrating the minor conflicts and disagreements between European nations that finally resulted in the outbreak of World War I."
