Reflection 2

Reflection of design project

Throughout this process it has become evident of the importance and benefit of an ongoing reflective process. The reflective process has helped me to acquire a deeper understanding of the students ability's, needs and challenges and has helped me to embed and scaffold additional learning and content. I have been encouraged by the opportunities to extend learning to a variety of subject areas. There is so much you can incorporate the hardest part is fitting the learning into limited time frame. In addition it is interesting when taking a student centered approach, that the lesson outcomes may change as the lesson evolves. 

By incorporating and embedding curriculum links throughout the design process assists me as an educator to target required content and learning outcomes. By receiving and giving peer feedback has been extremely beneficial by giving me confidence in my lesson design and to provide useful ideas  to improve. In addition by giving feedback on others designs has provided a wealth of additional ideas and inspiration.

Project Designing a healthy sandwich.
Taking a student centered approach, through research and discussion students will identify what are the components and design of a sandwich and  what ingredients make a healthy sandwich.

• Students will then consider research and leaning to design a sandwich
• Students will then reflect on design
• Students will them construct sandwich and eat.
• Student will then reflect on taste and design and opportunity for improvement and opportunities to incorporate  learning to other projects and independence in the future.
