What led to this learning?
This learning came out of observations from Term 1, where we saw limited acts of deliberate collaboration within our learners. When they did choose to collaborate, it was within their close peer friendship groupings and was more of a working alongside each other, rather than collaborating based on differentiated strengths to meet a shared goal. We wanted a learning experience where learners would be forced to rely on each other in order to succeed and give a shared emphasis on each learner playing their own unique part to realise communal success (or survival in this case.)
Summary of learning design:
This was the initial learning design where we brainstormed what kinds of facilities we might need in a new settlement. This was the prerequisite to the physical construction and town layout design. I have also included my amended Google draw reflection which was part of the later planning refining process.
Reflection on Learning Design
As this was given to learners before we had built any knowledge on colonial settlements and what the challenges would be, we ended up with some somewhat interesting buildings in our initial town, including 2 pet ships and 2 ice cream stores. The learners were very enthusiastic about the physical building processes and the initial town layout was something that they took great pride in and enjoy sharing our model town with other hubs. They were able to generally justify why they had chosen their building for the town, given their level of prior knowledge.
