How can we design a sustainable vermicomposting plan - tools and process - for our school? Do Now! (10 minutes) Go to last week's home learning and read through the 'challenges' - searching for challenges that relate to your part of the vermicomposting design (cart, plan, outdoor compost area) and write them in your notebook so that you can address them in your design groups. When you finish - gather your design work and resources. Collaborative Design (time budget = about 30-40 minutes) Timi's Room: Karen's Room: Meet with your design group (cart, plan, outdoor compost area). Introductions - use names when collaborating! Individually: Share your design ideas - all voices heard. From here on you are a Design Group: You will need to take on different roles to get this done - facilitator to keep you on task, note takers for the components of your plan, writers to address the challenges and describe/capture the key elements of your plan, sketch artist, speaker(s) for the presentation, coordinator for the feedback protocol, note takers to capture the feedback - Address the challenges that you noted during the 'Do Now!'. Collaborate on creating a plan to share with the rest of the groups. Maybe you select the best parts of several plans and create a new version. Maybe you select one plan and refine it. Maybe you generate new ideas. Create a rough draft to share for feedback. Don't spend time making it pretty until after the feedback and revisions. Make a presentation plan - who's going to share what artifacts and/or information? (Note - This round is all about the design plan - not the why we care about this - that will come later.) Begin the Presentations . . . (Approx 15 minutes each.) Present your design (5 minutes) Clarifying Questions - You can respond to these questions. Presenters do not respond to the next 3 sections, but they listen carefully and take copious notes. Values - Keepers!
