Fire and Safety - Lesson 7

Project Plan – Lesson 7

The Manage Phase

(7.1) Process Management:

Ø  Planning Ø  Project leadership Ø  Progress monitoring Ø  Process management Ø  Conflict management

 (7.2) Student Preparation:

Ü  The students will be told about the idea for the project 2 weeks before it starts. New ICT tools to be used during the project (i.e. using a spreadsheet for survey results, power point for presentation, etc.) will be practiced before the project launch.

 (7.3)  Facilitation:

v  Use of the library and computer equipment will be scheduled and booked in advance. v  Resource person for interview will be scheduled and informed in advance. v  Display models for exhibition will be prepared and kept equipped in advance.

 (7.4) Progress Monitoring:

§  Whole class conference once per week.  §  Team meetings once in two days. §  Group Progress :

'  Team checkpoint meetings as well informally daily checking with teams and individuals on their work.

     

§  Individual Progress:

(7.5) Re-planning:

Since student autonomy is low there is low risk of the project going off track. 10% additional time allowance has been included for overrun but the end date cannot be exceeded. There is an option for homework to be used to catch up if necessary.

 (7.6) Conflict Management:

Teamwork rules will be included in project launch presentation. Students are asked to initially try to work out conflicts on their own. In the case of a deadlock, issues are to be raised with the teacher. Lack of participation will be dealt with by culprits being removed from the project work and set to work on alternative individual tasks for the duration of the project.

Fire and Safety - Lesson 6

Lesson 6 The Review Phase

(6.1)Student Reflection and Evaluation:

One lesson after the end of the project will be dedicated to student reflection and evaluation. Their reflection will cover: what topics I learned about, what new skills I learned, what I liked about the project, what I didn’t like about the project and what I would do differently on the next project. An evaluation form will be completed by each student as a homework assignment. A subsequent lesson will be used to discuss the observations made by the students.

 (6.2) Teacher Reflection and Evaluation:

I have prepared a teacher reflection and evaluation form to complete that covers: Successes Challenges Achievement of project goals What I learned ·         What I would do differently next time

 (6.3) Assessment of 21^st Century skills:

Fire and Safety - Lesson 5

Lesson 5 The Do Phase

(5.1) Project Launch: 

The project will be launched as a group meeting with the whole class. There will be a presentation covering goals, expectations, rules, procedures, assessment and grading. Students will be invited to discuss any of the above and we may make change as a result. The final presentation will be printed and displayed in the classroom as well as being posted in PBL Blog Define, plan, do, and review cycles will be discussed.

 (5.2) Artifacts:

Research notes       Survey designs       Message boards (may be thro’ email/blog/what’s app) (as demonstration of team collaboration)       Presentation outlines       Models for exhibition

 (5.3) Culminating product:

¨       Survey assessment sheets will be informally presented by each team to the whole class and posted in the classroom. ¨       Mathematical representations will be made by each team based on survey data and presented to the whole class. ¨       Seminar paper presentation by each team based on their topics and an overall power point presentation. ¨       Posting in Blog will be presented by each team to the teacher.

 (5.4) Celebrating completion:

A “mini exhibition” of the project and paper presentation will be held in the classroom with students’ teachers invited as special guests. Certificates of completion will be awarded to each student.
