  • T1 Wk 1 (29-4 Feb) No lesson

  • T1 Wk 2 (5-11 Feb) Build a team

    Learning Intentions:

    Activity:
    Imagine your small group is a project team at a Human Resources firm.
    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). 

    Results of the tender process:
    A summary of the 'scary teams' and their product ideas is:
    - Team Harjan, Anshiv, ?, ?: team running tag and say name of next person. Price 4 biscuits.
    - Team Jordana, Ziyaan, Abhijot: In a circle, 1 person blindfolded & points to another. Price $500

    - Team Ami, ?, ?: In a circle, 1st person says the names of those either side of them, and so on. No price given.
    - Team Serafina, Sayjal, ?:
