Stage 4 Reflection
Considerations
Is there alignment between the first 3
stages?
Comments
Yes, students explore the essential questions such as how to
create a blueprint throughout the lessons. They will also learn
why misconceptions are untrue throughout the lessons
(connecting stages 1 &3). Stage 2 will also connect to the
specific learning outcomes in stage 1. Lessons will provide
students with knowledge allowing them to complete both
formative and summative assessment. Students will walk away
with enduring understandings/ big ideas of engineering process.
Freedom involved in this project allows for differentiation
between students who want a challenge and can create very
realistic blueprints, but also allows students with difficulties to
participate in creating a blueprint. Students can also use their
creativity in the artistic component of the blueprint. ELL students
will benefit from this task as it is all visual, but can ask them to
discuss blueprints with peers which allows them to communicate
more effectively (with visual aid).
Students are encouraged to incorporate structures that are
present in their cultures if they are from somewhere outside of
Canada.This incorporates other world views and perspectives.
Aboriginal students are also encouraged to incorporate
structures from their cultures (for example circles). Could even
talk to class about the different structures students choose. This
is an interdisciplinary activity as in combines science with math
and visual arts.
