Abstract
Reference: Case Study CP803
Classroom Practice: Year 11
Title: Memory Catchers
Overview:
Two teachers, from nearby schools, collaborate to develop a Year 11 generic unit that was equally applicable to both a Materials and a Food Technology context. The unit actively fosters more authentic practice by their students, offering a wide range of activities at the beginning of the course before focusing on an individual external client-based project.
Focus Points:
- Inter-school peer collaboration
- Joint planning of generic Technology units
- The use of an authentic context to engage students
