Students plan and sequence major steps in design and production
Students describe the purpose of familiar products, services and environments and how they meet the needs of users and affect others and environme
LMQ2- Where does my learner/s need/want to be? INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES- (ILO)- Direct syllabus links
Develop project plans that include consideration of resources when making designed solutions individually and collaboratively (ACTDEP028)
Generate, develop, communicate and document design ideas and processes for audiences using appropriate technical terms and graphical representation
techniques (ACTDEP025)
Declarative Knowledge (The learner will know):
PK2- Design and plan for a community Area/facility that encourages use by
children and young adults.
PK3- Justify the choice of design.
LMQ3- How does my learner best learn? (Learning styles, strengths, interests, needs)
Individual and collaborative tasks.
Task is broad allowing the students to design based on their interests.
Hands on activities and visual representations. (Kinaesthetic and visual learners)
Clear and direct instructions.
LMQ4- What resources do I have at my disposal? (Interesting, motivating, relevant)

members.
Instruct the students to revisit the notes that they had taken from the
previous lesson. Students are to think about all of the feedback that have
received and think about some possible changes to their design.
Students are to collect their grid paper designs and think about what they
want to change. Students list what they want to change and what they
need to do to complete their design.
Body:
Students are to continue on with their grid floor plans. Adjusting and
refining any parts that they may like to change or include. Students
should be aware of what they want to add or change as they have
developed a list.

Instruct the students that they are to navigate to the "create" section of
the weebly and look at the Lego floor plan designs. This allows the
learners to gather a visual perspective of the lego floor plans that can be
created. Discuss with the students the type of designs.

Students are to continue on with their designs. Remind the students that
this is the last in class lesson to complete the task, however the students
have another week to complete the design in their own time (homework).
Students who have completed their design have them download and
answer the questions from the workbook "Create evaluation" on weebly
found in the create section.
Conclusion:
Students take a photo of their end product and attach it to the end of their
previous workbook which should include:
o Design challenge- Ask and imagine
o Grid paper floor plan and justified choices
o photo evidence of workings
o Final image of Lego design.
o Any evaluations and notes they would like to include at the end

LMQ9- Why has the learner achieved/not achieved the learning outcomes?
Has the student effectively designed plans using appropriate resources and solutions?
Has the student effectively represented and used terms that justify the choices for the audience?
Has the student effectively documented the design ideas?
Has the student communicated the appropriateness of the design for the particular audience?
Additional Lesson
The sixth and final lesson for technology will include the students engaging in the "improve" section of the Technology cycle. The students can
download and print the worksheet from the weebly to fill out. The worksheet uses the organizer "SWOT" charts. The students are to also comple
the "create evaluations" in this lesson if they have not already done so in previous lesson. Students may also use this lesson to ensure that every
