Hi<br>
I do not like unit 2 as I find group work tends to reward the lazy
students<br>
and over burden the better ones. My teams designed a set of furniture
and<br>
each member makes their own piece out of the set. Still a lot to do in
1<br>
semester.<br>

Subject: [Design and Technology] Re: team work U2 year 11.<br><br>
Hello to all.<br><br>
I'd be interested to hear feedback in regard to success or otherwise
with<br>
the student design team work in Unit 2. Unfortunately I am at a small
school<br>
and my clientel, nine of them, are not all terribly motivated to achieve
in<br>
Design and Technology. In fact, out if the nine only one kid is
genuinly<br>
interested in the subject. I've put them in 3 teams; in one team none
of<br>
them wish to achieve; they are kept at school by their family against
their<br>
wishes. Team 2 has medium capacity, they'll do their work if I insist
hard<br>
enough and some of it is not too bad. Team 3; one kid wants to achieve,
one<br>
kid couldn't care less and the other just wants to pass but is capable.
The<br>
guy who wants to achieve feels he is being held back by the rest of his
team<br>
who can't get their act together. I advised him to get into
production<br>
independendly and that I may have to give him extra credit considering
he<br>
has done most of the work in his team. Are other teachers/schools<br>
experiencing these sort of difficulties?<br><br>
(Not to mention that this class runs in conjunction with a small (2<br>
students) piggy back year 12 U3/4 class.)<br><br>

Feed back appreciated.<br><br>

Could I ask if anyone out there would have a useful template for a

I think Unit 2 is great. As a teacher, it is your job to motivate
the<br>
students and give them a reason to want to succeed in your subject.
Some<br>
need more motivation than others, but the team aspect of the unit can
be<br>
solved in many ways. I have found that by putting students of the
same<br>
level in a group works very well. They push each other along most of
the<br>
time but you also need to get them to allocate who is doing what in
the<br>
group at the start of the project so that each person has ownership
of<br>
certain components. No more than 2 in a group. I gave them all the
same<br>
work brief with constraints and considerations...design a<br>
lamp/light....I made it into a design competition where students are<br>
awarded a prize for the best folio and product - voted by the
class. I<br>
have also got the students to present to the rest of the class, what<br>
they have done so far at random intervals. This puts pressure on them
to<br>
actually do something so they don't look stupid in front of their
peers-<br>
embarrassment works.... I think by doing the folio in pairs, they
are<br>
able to complete it far quicker which means they have more time to<br>
actually make and complete their product...<br>

Re: team work U2 year 11.<br><br>
I really enjoy team work projects but for team work to 'work' with
teenagers the majority should want to do the activities. This sometimes
needs some planning or giving some of the control to the students to
begin with, but if you let the class 'team' decide (which you can be
manipulated) ....the group takes ownership and there is not so much
rebellion. Projects that have worked in the past for me are: a
really funky stool (done in a production line style) Mirrors, boxes. I
would also like to do a big school project..... build a giant
contemporary sundial (as a monument of that classes time at school)<br>
Lots of ideas...so little time!!<br>

We have 16 students following Unit 2. We have set projects that will help
the department ie display units, different aspects of storage. The
students work in groups of 3. they are not overly happy with this unit,
they would prefer to work on something individual for themselves. <br>
