WHAT CAN STUDENT – CENTRED ASSESSMENT LOOK LIKE IN GROUP 4?

Only through communication can human life hold meaning.”

Paulo Freire, Brazilian educator and philosopher

Students in Group 4 have been hard at work preparing their summative assessment this week for their How We Organise Ourselves unit with the central idea: ‘People interact in different ways through human-made systems that facilitate local and global communication.’ In small groups, they discussed and planned their final projects.

Final Project: Communication

Task brief: Students were asked to create a welcome message for a student new to the school, using one or more of the systems that they’d been learning about. They had the option to present their message on paper, as a video or via PowerPoint.

Furthermore, they were also asked to create and describe a scenario in which their welcome messages would be used!

Communication works for those who work at it.
