Snow Globe Narrative Assessment

Learner: Louis                    Learning Coach: Mr Hattie           Date: 9 December 2015

Learning Area: Learning Habitat Two - iExplore

Learning Observed

This term in iExplore we have been working on using objects that we would normally become rubbish and turning them into things that we can use. Louis has been working with a glass jar to create a snow globe. He has had to plan, research, design and write instructions for the snow globe. This has been a lot of new learning and I am impressed with the outcome of the product. The amount of work that has gone into this project is huge and the understanding the importance of upcycling has been achieved.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

For this iExplore the Key Competencies that have been used are “Thinking” as the learners had to think about what it is they are going to be doing with their object. “Managing Self” has been used as this was a self directed learning project. Throughout the whole process the learners had to ensure that they were on track and come up with the ideas themselves. “Connecting” was the vision principle that was being used as the learners had to connect their understanding of upcycling to a provide option to create something new out of.

Next Learning Steps

Louis’s next learning steps are: write a reflection on how the whole process next time and what he might do differently next time. Present his object in the “Trash to Flash” expo.
