INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
 * 1.Tell me about yourself**


 * 2. Why do you want to work for us?**"


 * 3. Give an example of where you've been able to use your leadership skills**


 * 4. The hypothetical scenario**


 * 5. What are your strengths and weaknesses?**"Talk about strengths that will be useful in the job and about weaknesses that are irrelevant to the job.

"Before the interview sit down with a pen and paper and jot down your achievements and their relevance to the job."
 * 6. Where do you see yourself in five years?**"Again this is about researching the job and knowing the career structure. You have to be realistic, so avoid saying you expect to be the managing director as this just sounds arrogant."
 * 7. What is your greatest achievement?** "Make it relevant to the job. Identify the skills they are looking for and match them to the achievement. There's no point saying it was spending the night up a mountain with three friends if you don't say how that experience is going to help you do the job.

You can also ask about start dates as this shows confidence. Say something like: 'assuming this interview has gone well and it's a success, when would you expect me to start?'"
 * 8. Do you have any questions for us?** "It's important to show you have been thinking and listening during the interview. Don't ask any questions about areas that have already been covered just because you've prepared that question. Instead, you can develop it, and say: 'I was interested in what you were saying on such and such a subject, can you expand on it?'

The SOLO taxonomy stands for: Term Four (we will discuss this, don't worry if this makes no sense) Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes It describes level of increasing complexity in a student's understanding of a subject, through five stages, and it is claimed to be applicable to any subject area. Not all students get through all five stages, of course, and indeed not all teaching.
 * =1 Pre-structural: Here students are simply acquiring bits of unconnected information, which have no organisation and make no sense.= || [[image:http://www.learningandteaching.info/learning/graphics/solo1.gif width="131" height="137" align="center"]] ||


 * [[image:http://www.learningandteaching.info/learning/graphics/solo2.gif width="143" height="133" align="center"]] || =2 Unistructural: Simple and obvious connections are made, but their significance is not grasped.= ||


 * =3 Multistructural: A number of connections may be made, but the meta-connections between them are missed, as is their significance for the whole.= || [[image:http://www.learningandteaching.info/learning/graphics/solo3.gif width="133" height="123" align="center"]] ||

 * =5 At the extended abstract level, the student is making connections not only within the given subject area, but also beyond it, able to generalise and transfer the principles and ideas underlying the specific instance.= || [[image:http://www.learningandteaching.info/learning/graphics/solo5.gif width="125" height="119" align="center"]] ||

=Paper making is a centuries old craft that is both practical and great fun – and used as a way to recycle your waste paper it is also extremely eco friendly! =

**Why Make Paper at Home?**
Paper making is a fantastic way to reuse old scraps of paper that you would otherwise throw away, and an interesting and creative way to produce individual, one off sheets for arts and craft projects. The unique texture and finish of home-made paper makes it attractive and distinctive - and particularly useful for greeting cards and gift tag making, plus your kids will enjoy the whole process – from pulp to finished sheet!

**Making Your Own Paper**
Making your own paper is fairly straightforward, and something the whole family can enjoy doing.
 * To have a go, you will need:**


 * A range of old, used paper, for example, newspaper, craft (or sugar) paper, tissue paper, serviettes, paper bags etc. (Encourage youngsters to experiment with lots of different types and textures of paper for some interesting finished results!)


 * A washing up bowl


 * A blender to pulp the paper, or a pestle and mortar to do it by hand


 * Lint free cloths


 * Sponges


 * A Deckle and Mould (What is a deckle and mould?! A deckle and mould is the frame that your mixture is pressed into to make your finished piece of paper. You can buy a deckle and mould at a craft shop, or you could make your own.

**Getting Started**
Start off by tearing your paper in to very small pieces. You could use all the same type of paper, or do a miss match of types to get a really individual finish. Add your torn pieces to a blender and top up with warm water, or use a pestle and mortar with a little water to reduce the paper to a pulp. Fill your washing up bowl with water and mix in your pulp mixture. The thickness of your finished paper will depend on how much pulp and water you have at this stage. With the mesh side of your mould upwards with the deckle on top of it, lower into the pulp mixture, pushing the mixture away from you as you submerge. Once the deckle and mould is lying flat on the bottom of the bowl, the mesh should be covered with pulp - you can agitate it a little to ensure it is covered adequately. Once it is covered, carefully remove from your bowl, allowing the water to drain off. Given it a gentle shake will help the fibres bond strongly, giving your finished paper a stronger constancy. Leave the deckle and mould on top of the bowl until the water has drained off, then transfer to a flat, dry surface. Take off the top frame (the deckle) and you will be left with the pulp covered mesh mould. Smooth out a damp lint free cloth on to your work-surface and roll the mould down and press the pulp down on to the cloth. Use your sponge to push the pulp through the mesh and onto the cloth. Get really crafty and personalise your paper by adding glitter, dried flowers, threads, leaves or even tiny beads to the pulp. As your paper dries, the decorations will be dried into the finished product. Express any remaining water from the pulp by pressing down on it with your lint free cloth. Wring the cloth out, then place back on the paper and top with some heavy books to keep flat. After thirty minutes or so you can remove the books and transfer your paper to a warm setting to fully dry (an airing cupboard or a shelf above a radiator). When fully dried out, carefully remove from the cloth and there you have it - your very own, home made, recycled paper.
