ed a new look for the summer. It's not quite
as neat as it is during the school year.
The library has been turned into a
workshop for seven area students who are
preparing and creating teaching materials
for the school year. Six high-school students
are working under a six-week Experience
'82 grant from the government of Ontario.
Sheila Van Dorp. Mary Kay Eckert and
Barb McGregor represent Vanastra Public
School and Samantha Poisson, Sandra
Campbell and Tammy Driscoll represent
Seaforth and Walton Public Schools.
Supervisor Janice Rose, on a nine -week
program, works with both schools.
Ms. Rose has been working with this
project for three years although this is her
first as supervisor, "It's related to what 1
eventually want to be .... a teacher." She is
enrolled in the languages program at the
Universitv of Western Ontario. "This
program is bigger than other years because
said the supervisor.
Ms. Driscoll, working on a drawing.
commented "we learn something new
every day." Ms. Eckert added "It's
definitely an experience." Also working
with the Experience group were two
Katimavik participants Jocelyne Dufour
and Cary (Zeke) Ridout.
Of all the work they do, including creating
educational games: making puppet holders:'
building mini -kitchens; illustrating big
books; and constructing information pack-
ages, the students seem to enjoy making
story tapes the most. A story book is turned
into a verbal play complete with sound
effects (and giggling). "It gets pretty
funny." said Ms. Rose.
So the students busily work away at their
projects until August 13, and the library
quickly loses its normally neat appearance.
But everybody knows that geniuses are
messy.
