7. CRITICAL REFLECTION
Strengths
There was a good flow to the lesson and because it was a continuation of the design process,
students were eager to finish their designs. The groups are working very well and each student is
aware of their role in the group, with some groups even designing projects that require each member
to make one piece and put it all together when completed.
The ESL student is fitting in well to the group because this stage relies on communicating through
sketching images rather than language. The next lesson will include some wood-working terms for
the students to write in a worksheet, but they will be at the bottom of the page to scaffold the ESL
student.
A number of students are no longer afraid to voice their opinion due to shyness, but they are not
disruptive in the class. The group-based, design-led project is a fantastic vehicle to help socialise the
students in the class as I can see students working together and voicing opinions within groups
respectfully, with others taking the constructive criticism gracefully.
Challenges
It is challenging to write a lesson plan that is realistic for the students to finish in the lesson, while all
learning targets were met in this class, more time was spent on idea generation and idea refinement
to create finished concepts and this meant there was no time to complete sketching worksheet 2,
which was unnecessary anyway because sketching was being used to drive the design process
forward.
As the projects develop past the x-halving joint stage, it will be a challenge ensuring all students are
on task at all times, the way to remedy this is to continue to promote group work with designated
roles to incorporate peer assessment.
The next lesson will need to move away from voicing opinion to a cognisance that there is a safe and
unsafe way to work during the lesson and only a safe method will be suitable. While ensuring a safe
learning environment, I do not want to lose the creativity that has been so apparent up to this point.
