Teach a Skill
For this project you will be using Design Thinking to plan and create an educational product (including text, images, and short video clips) that clearly explains one or more skills in the D&C room.
You will work in small groups (larger than 2 you need to get Mr. Hogg’s approval after writing down a proposal with clearly defined roles).
You must end up with an educational material (text, images, video) that can be put up on the class website. You MAY also produce samples, illustrations…..
Your audience (who this is for) is fellow classmates and FUTURE classmates (Grades 7-9). Any images and video clips cannot show your face or other’s faces so that it can be put up on the class website without privacy concerns.
Take a look at the list of suggestions below and choose at least 5 that interest you (on your own or with a partner). Once you have chosen them, give the list to Mr. Hogg.
Please note that you may not get ANY of your top topic choices. The more topics you indicate your interest for, the more likely you will get one of your chosen topics. Also note that some topics are more difficult than others, so you may get assigned one, two, or more topics to complete the assignment for.
Mr. Hogg will give you (and partner if applicable) your assigned topics and some topic specific requirements. Now brainstorm ideas of how you will proceed to both LEARN the skill yourself and demonstrate your knowledge to others.
All topics (unless specifically stated) will require a section on safety considerations. You will need to hand-in a plan of your proposed project(s) to Mr. Hogg in the form of a storyboard.
Your prototype is your first attempt at the Skills Presentation planned above. You will test your creation with another person/team in the class and get feedback before handing in the final result.
