     Team Project must fall under one of these topics.


     The team should start off be deciding the aim.
     Topic chosen should be clearly stated on all the work produced.
     Same global topic should be chosen but the aim (focus) must be different. For example, if
    one group picks Poverty and inequality, one group can focus on homelessness and the
    other can look into unequal access to education and another group can look into food
    poverty.

    Aim:

     Single aim for a Team Project


     A research question is not required like the Individual Report

    Examples:

     To raise awareness about the importance of saving water


     To raise awareness about the disappearance of tradition and culture and how this
    impacts identity
     To encourage helping the homeless within a local neighbourhood
     To encourage, supporting a charity providing accommodation for refugees
     To develop a solution to a problem such as improving disabled access to a particular
    facility

    Outcome:

     Once the aim is decided, outcome should be worked out that would help meet the aim
     Outcome needs to be practical and manageable
     For example, if the team has decided the aim to raise awareness to save water. They can
    do an advertisement campaign for a television or a newspaper
     Other examples:

    a) poster or series of posters


    b) an information leaflet or brochure
    c) a short video-clip (maximum 10/15 mins)
    d) a song or poem, which learners perform live that is video recorded
    e) a web page
    f) a design, model or blueprint for a product or similar
    g) an event of some kind (e.g. fundraiser)

     The Outcome itself is to be submitted for assessment with its accompanying explanation.
    If the Outcome is a web page or takes some other electronic format, embed a link to the
    outcome in the explanation so that it can be viewed. It’s advisable to make a video of the
    outcome as evidence. The video should be no longer than ten minutes

     Feedback:
    -Each team member needs to evaluate the outcome.
    -The team can ask for feedback after it has shown the outcome to peers, friends, teachers,
    family or to the audience for the presentation should they produce one.
    -Feedback examples such as, produce a short questionnaire, hold interviews or a pre-post
    event quiz depending on what the aim of the project is: raising awareness, promoting the
    importance of something etc.
     The evaluation of the team project is marked on an individual basis. Important for
    Reflective Paper. Each team member has to:
    o Analyze and evaluate any feedback gathered
    o Judge the successes and weaknesses of the outcome in achieving the project aim
    o Suggest where and how the outcome might have been improved

    Explanation:

     One outcome and one explanation per team. It should include the following:
     The topic (from the list of topics) and the aim of the project
     A short description of the outcome (250-300 words)
     Explanation of the cross-cultural perspective in the outcome is important, as to how it has
    supported and informed the aim. Mere explanation is not needed but questions like ‘How’
    and ‘Why’ should be answered
     It is advisable to use the sub-headings. They can be removed at the end, if the word count
    increases

    What to include in the explanation?

     Topic (from the list of eight topics) and aim


     A short description of the outcome (250-300 words)
     An explanation of how the team’s exploration of different cultural perspectives has
    informed or supports the Outcome. The team should focus on answering questions like
    ‘why’ and ‘how’ rather than just ‘what.’

    Cross-Cultural Perspective in Outcome and Explanation:


     The outcome and the explanation should include different views from other cultures
     It should not include local, individual/personal, national, regional or global perspectives
    as in the Individual Report
     Findings should focus on meeting the assessment aim
     Due to word limit, completed questionnaires and surveys cannot be included in the
    explanation, only summarized findings should be in the outcome, explanation and
    reflective paper
     The findings should be included in the outcome and summarized in the explanation

    achieving the project aim?
