Learning Experiences:
Introduction:

15
min

Ask students to stand quietly in front of their workbenches while

you silently wait for all to be attentive. shhhhh or Please be
quiet if this is taking to long.
Once you have everyones attention ask: Who can tell me what an
evaluation is?
Choose student with their hand up and listen to their answer
Address their answer and then mention todays learning objectiveToday we are going to be evaluating our
projects.
Who can tell me? What is the purpose of an evaluation?
Ask what an evaluation should contain: What information do you
think your evaluation should have in it? Why?

Sequence of learning experiences:

Once students have discussed what an evaluation should contain

hand out their evaluation worksheets/questionnaire.
While students are completing their evaluation walk around
interacting and asking individual students about their projects.
Get the students to give you an evaluation of their projects verbally
to make sure their on the correct path.

10
min
Lesson conclusion:

Once questionnaire has been completed ask students to stand back

in front of their benches.
Ask- Who believes they correctly evaluated their project?
Choose student and let them read their evaluation.

Evaluation

Go back through questions asked at the start: What information

should an evaluation contain?
What is the aim of an evaluation?

Why are evaluations useful?

How do evaluations help us towards creating better future
projects?
This will allows them to self assess their evaluation. If you have
answered these questions in your evaluation are you better
prepared if you were to do it again?

Lesson Evaluation:
(Reflect on the lesson. What worked? What did not work? What would you change? Why?)
This lesson ran smoothly, the students understood My instructions at the begging, and a
good discussion followed about the art of evaluation. As the task was simply filling out a
questionnaire it wasnt to demanding of the students so everything ran smoothly. If I could
do it again maybe I would have got everyone completing an evaluation at the same desk
instead of spread out through all the students at various stages of their product.
