T2W2 - T2W4: Group Assignment for CBL

Tasks

As mentioned during lesson, each group is required to meet after school hours and complete the following:

• A Group Journal following the framework of Challenge Based Learning (CBL)
• A conceptual idea of the story that delivers the message

Deadline: Term 2 Week 4

Revision of key concepts

Big Idea
A big idea is a broad concept that is important to students and provide an anchor for them to explore and learn in many ways

Example:

• Environment, Creativity, Peace, Energy

Essential Question
An essential question is linked to the big idea and reflect what is important and interesting to the students. It helps to contextualise the big idea.   

Example:

• How does my usage of electricity affects my community?
• How does war impact me?

Challenge
Students have to decide and create a task or problem they wish to solve that will produce a meaningful action.


Example:

• Reduce the usage of electricity at home
• Improve how we communicate and share ideas

Guiding Questions / Guiding Resources / Guiding Activities
These are used to lead students to understand their challenge better. They can be books, internet links, experiments, etc

Example:

• PUB official website on energy consumption
• Books on commuication
• Survey, Questionnaires, forums
• Animation workshop

Solutions
The solution proposed should be thoughtful and actionable.


More information about the CBL can be found here.

Week 9: Revision on Ideation - 4 March 2011 (1 Hour)

Learning Objectives:

• Recall the how shape borrowing is used to create a new initial design
• Recall what SCAMPER is
• Recall how SCAMPER helps to refine an idea of product

Task 1 (30 Minutes)

In your ADMT Blog, create a new post titled: "Ideation",

1. Write a short description of how shape borrowing can be used to create new design. (About 50 words)

2. Write a short description of how SCAMPER is used to refine the function and appearance of an idea. (About 80 words)

Task 2 (30 Minutes)

1. Look through your friends' blog and choose 2 descriptions that explained the concepts well. Add a comment: "Good Job! :)" to these 2 posts. In the comment, also include why you felt your friends had explained well.

Week 9: Self Assessment - 3 Mar 2011 - (1 Hour)

Learning Objectives:

• Know what a rubric matrix is
• To be able to formulate a rubric matrix
• To be able to assess work based on a rubric matrix
• To be able to improve the quality of work based on the agreed rubric matrix

Instructions

A rubric matrix is a set of criteria or statements used to describe the quality of work. An example of a rubrics matrix on product design is shown below.

Criteria / Achievement Level	Not There Yet  :(	Almost There :|	Good Work! :)
Brainstorming	Less than 3 ideas are listed	Many ideas are listed but are similar to one another	Many ideas are listed and most are different from one another
Creativity	Design of idea uses simple shapes	Design of ideas used shape borrowing but no refinement was evident	Design of ideas used shape borrowing and good refinement was evident
Overall quality	Not much thoughts were put into the final idea	Some improvement of existing product as compared to the final idea	Final idea shows high level of improvement to existing products

We can use such a rubrics matrix to determine how well we have done our assignments or tasks.


Task 1 (Group Work) - 40 Minutes

1. Recall the important points mentioned during sketching lesson and create a rubrics matrix with these 3 criteria:

• Line work (Hint: Draft Line, Shape Line & Outline)
• Ideation (Hint: Use of techniques like Shape Borrowing and SCAMPER appropriate?)
  
• Overall Quality (Hint: Details of the drawing, quality of the sketching, etc)

2. Share with other groups how you have determine the rubrics matrix
3. Use the rubrics to assess the following sketches from Week 8: Water Bottle individually

• A Vase
• A Water Bottle
• A Tea Cup / Pot

4. Indicate the achievement level by the side of the sketch


Task 2 (Individual Work) - 20 Minutes

1. Using the rubric matrix to guide you, sketch the following objects in Week 8: Water Bottle

• A Vase
• A Water Bottle

2. Take a pic of the two objects you have sketched now and post it on your ADMT Personal Blog titled: "Sketching with Rubrics"

3. Write down in the same post how knowing the rubrics matrix has help you improve your sketches.

Week 9: Design Appreciation - 3 March 2011 ( 1 Hour)

Lesson Objectives:

Learning Objectives

• To be able to sketch the correct placement of objects in relationship to one another

It is important to know how to sketch objects and also where they are placed in the 3D space on paper. You will notice that some details are hidden or block by the objects in front of it. These are called hidden details.

Below are some steps to sketch objects correctly in the 3D space

Step 1: Sketch the crates for the objects in the following order (Sketch the objects furthest away from your view first).

Crate 1

Crate 2

Crate 3

Step 2: Sketch out the shapes of the objects in the designated crates with draft lines

Step 3. Sketch only the parts of the shapes that are not blocked/hidden (Sketch the objects closest to you first).

Tasks

1. Sketch 3 rectangular block and place them in a random position but still close to one another
2. Repeat this exercise 2 times, changing the position each time
3. Repeat Task 1 with a cube, a cylinder and a pyramid ( You are allowed to decide the size of each object)
4. Use the 3 designs you have created from the previous SCAMPER exercise and sketch how they were look when placed beside one another

Notes

• Students may want to try more than 3 objects in the exercise to challenge themselves.
• Always use the crating method to start your sketches
