Please email her to reserve tickets by Friday 21 November\, so that we can arrange the catering.  \nOur second event is a Teachers’ Day to be held at the University of Birmingham on Saturday 7 February 2015. Sessions are planned on how to approach the 8 and 10 mark questions on both the OCR and WJEC GCSE literature papers\, how to use material culture in the classroom\, including a chance to handle objects from the Classics Department Museum\, and strategies for teaching Classics that can be taken from MFL teaching. The day\, including lunch\, will cost £50.

All equipment and costumes will be provided. \n  \nThe event is free\, but booking is essential as places are limited: see http://beinghumanfestival.org/event/experiencing-ancient-education/. \nGroups should book a timed slot and expect their visit to take roughly 2 hours total. \nFurther information is available from E.Dickey@reading.ac.uk.
