Section outline

  • Learning Intentions:

    - Consider how to build a team (not just a group)
    - Understand that diversity in a team is a strength
    - Identify the outcomes we want from the course 

    Success Criteria:
    - We all know each other's names!

    - We solved problems with various students.

    Activity:
    Imagine your small group is a project team at a Human Resources firm.
    A client (Mr Suckling) wants a 20 minute 'product' that will help him and his 9ENT students learn the names and Whanau of every student in the class.
    You must bid for the work against other groups.

    The 'Brief':
    - The 'product' must be fun, simple and certain to be effective (ie everyone knows everyone's name).
    - The 'product' can be a document, activities, memory tool, etc.
    - If successful in the tender process, the class will use your 'product' to learn students' names and Whanau.
    - Time is short. You have:
         - 20 minutes to design the product;
         - 1 minute to pitch to the client;
         - 20 minutes to deliver the product (if your bid is successful).
