Session 13 - Belmont City College Year 9 HASS - Jodie Davidson & Fiona Ball

1. You have 60 seconds to find a partner you have not worked with before

2. You each have a post it note/piece of paper

3. Give a 30 second pitch each about your urban design and why it should be adopted as a template for an urban garden design

Extension from session 12

1. Back in the classroom, based on what you were told by your new partner write one piece of feedback about what could be included to improve the presentation - be specific 

2. Find your mock up designs and the beginnings of your presentation poster

3. Match your post it note feedback to the correct urban garden design presentation

4. Reflect on the feedback. 

5. Add one suggestion each for how it can be more persuasive

6. Continue working on your presentation.

   1. What will it do? How? Why? 

   2. Why have you made these decisions?

   3. How it will reach the targets? 

   4. How will it help with cost of living and the impact of large scale farming and food production?

   5. Why are you growing these at home rather than relying on farms? 

   6. How does this impact biomes? (eg: Bird netting to prevent birds eating crops but not killing the birds? 

1. Arrange the houses into a village considering the location of double story properties

2. Include a road

3. How might the layout impact those on either side with regards to light.

4. Do you need to rearrange anything?

Successes

• ‘Can I take mine home? I want to finish the artwork with my art pens’ …student

• The quality of their presentations

• How much they achieved today and how well they worked to bring their presentations to completion

• The partnerships and collaboration of unlikely pairings has absolutely worked.

• Ability to implement the feedback provided from the warm up activity

• Sharing of information between groups

Challenges

• Didn’t get to do the house arrangement but Fiona will do this on Friday

• The group of boys who are working as three and have manipulated the group to enable themselves to work together but can’t decide what each person could be doing

Groups who would never speak to each other have put together an amazing presentation. They have completely different values and belief systems however have utilised the creative habits effectively. This is in such contrast to where we were at the beginning of the program.

Give students Friday to finish any last minute components of their posters and building, arrange them into a community with consideration for how their designs may impact houses around them. Ensure the village layout is the best it can be so that it can be on display for Parent/Teacher interviews.
