Today we continued working on our Design Thinking Project for Magnets. Today we met in our teams to think about exactly how we would build our device and make a plan for it. In order to do this, we needed to practice good communication, compromise, and active listening. Some of us took some risks in sharing our ideas and we all worked on "plussing" the ideas of others.
We practiced using the language: First, then, next, and finally to make our plan so we knew exactly how to build it. We also came up with a list of materials. This was very specific and even needed to include if we needed glue!
Next week we will be prototyping our ideas and testing them out. I can't wait to see these devices come to life!
Coming up:
- Halloween Monday - Bring costumes to change into at lunch. Bring a special snack for the afternoon activities :)
- Mrs. Jordan away Wednesday morning at a Design Thinking Professional Development opportunity with several other teachers from Ken Taylor.
- Oral sharing will start in two weeks. Watch for a schedule on the blog next week!
