project will be launched, including how goals, expectation, rules, procedures,
assessment, and grading will be presented to the students.
The project will be launched in class XE.
A briefing will be given about the survey to be
undertaken, how to go about the research work ,tips on how to make a
PowerPoint presentation etc. Students opinion and how best they can
contribute will be discussed
|

Lesson 7
The Manage Phase
(7.1) Process Management:
List tasks that
will be used to manage the process of conducting the learning
Brief introduction : Different types of sequences
Each group will be given a sub topic to work upon
1. Adithya –PPT – Sequences
2. Anagha – Geometric progression in daily life
situations
3. Keerthana – Arithmetic Progression in daily
life situation
4. NiranjanaShekhar- Floors of new building.
Verify if its forming an AP. Use a clinometer for finding sequences in nature
5. Sarangi- Survey report. Exploration sequence.
6. Vaishnav – Harmonic progression
7. Krishna-Golden ratio
8. Amogh- Types of sequences
9. Niranjana Pyarilal- Number sequence game for
children
The process of the students will be monitored
weekly followed by a discussion
|
(7.2) Student Preparation:
Describe how
students will be prepared for the project prior to launch. List any specific
instruction or tasks that will be needed
The students will be told about the idea for the project 2 weeks
before it starts. How to use ICT tools to be used during the project (i.e.
using a spreadsheet for survey results) will be practiced before the project
launch.
|
(7.3) Facilitation:
Describe how
facilitation of resources will be used to enable the students to be successful.
Use of the library and computer equipment will be scheduled and booked
in advance.
|
(7.4) Progress Monitoring:
Describe how
program will be monitored throughout the project.
Whole
class conference once per week
|
Group Progress
Team
checkpoint meetings as well informally daily checking with teams and
individuals on their work.
|
Individual Progress
-
(7.5) Re-planning:
Describe
how‘re-planning’ will be used if the project goes off track
Since student autonomy is low there is low risk of the project going
off track. 10% additional time allowance has been included for overrun but
the end date cannot be exceeded. There is an option for homework to be used
to catch up if necessary.
|
(7.6) Conflict Management:
Describe how to
address problems related to participation, offer approaches to manage other
conflicts that may arise.
Teamwork rules will be included in project launch presentation.
Students are asked to initially try to work out conflicts on their own. In
the case of a deadlock, issues are to be raised with the teacher. Lack of
participation will be dealt with by culprits being removed from the project
work and set to work on alternative individual tasks for the duration of the
project.
