Hi Jock,<br>
I'm using a project plan, just as Adrian is. Because it is good
practice leading up to the exam and it does reinforce the value of
planning a job rather than going in gung ho.<br>

<font face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Hi
all,<br>
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I can’t seem to find any evidence
to suggest that students need to complete a project management plan in
U 4 O1.<br>
Have I missed something ?<br>

I have a dusty old Gantt chart that I whip out with my technicians
every time I need to do a major equipment rotation at our college. Here
is a nice one that I use in the classroom. it is an instructable that
explains "How to Organize and Cook Holiday Dinner for a Crowd" ..
planning people, time and resources using a coloured spreadsheet to
stick on the fridge. As an example, I like its appeal for girls,
especially those doing something similar for our year 12 formal.<br>

<blockquote><font face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span
style="font-size: 12px;">I started using project management and simple
Gantt charts with year 8<br>
students in a rocketry unit. In a group they build a small<br>
working rocket (with real chemical motors and a parachute).<br>
In the planning stage they have to allocate tasks and sequence them. <br>
I.E. they work out roles and precedence. Using this tool I cut the<br>
project's time in half and kept the kids honest!<br>
