Learning sequence 4

Students refer to the brainstormed list of gifts from the story and students' own lists of gifts they would give to someone leaving the school. Look at the artwork Fruitful Corsage, Bridal Bouquet, Lingering Veils by Susan Norrie. Find out what school gifts exist eg spoons, badges and mugs and display them in the classroom.

Students design and make a gift unique to their school or community.

Design and make process:

1. exploring needs and wants

  • students explore the range of gifts presented to the school, eg by visitors, by departing Year 6

  • brainstorm the types of gifts they think would be suitable

  • develop a criterion that the gift needs to meet

2. generating and selecting ideas

  • students develop some possible designs for their gift

  • share the ideas and the class choose one

3. using resources to create products and services

Note: It is possible to complete the design task at this point if the gift idea is something that is not feasible for the students to make at school.

  • students choose the materials they need and tools to use and make their gift. (Some commercial materials may be needed, depending on the gift)

4. evaluating products and services

  • discuss with the group how the item meets their criteria from step 1.
