    The topic I have chosen for this module is stars. If I were to teach a lesson about stars I would begin by reading the book ‘How to Catch a Star’, by Oliver Jeffers. We would then learn about stars and what they’re made up of using a powerpoint and also learn about the various star constellations via YouTube videos. I would ask Blackrock observatory to visit the school with their inflatable dome where the children lay down inside and they project the different constellations onto the ceiling of the dome. This would further educate the children on this topic. After this, as an art lesson, we could make our own constellations by sticking small pieces of silver tinfoil onto black card. Each student would then present their constellation to the class and explain what they have created. They could also write a few sentences on it to link it with an English writing activity.
