- Ideas
for how to carry out the project:

your topic and gather all the information you are going to use.
- Where
will you find this information? Who will help you? There is a lot of
information out there so …
- Think
of your audience and ask yourself these questions-
- 1.
What do I want the
children/teacher to learn from my project?
- 2.
What are the key words that
they need to know at the end?
- 3.
What will I start with, what
will be my middle part and what will be my end part?
- 4.
What are the keywords for
these three parts?
- Suggestions
for how to organise your project:
- Start
with – The origin of the Celts,
the timeline of the Celts, their daily life, culture and religion and the
food they ate.
- Middle
Part- Choose 3 or 4 topics to
focus on: homes, work, leisure and pastimes, clothing, weapons, warriors,
tribes, Gods and Goddesses.
