I hope you had fun during the interunit although it was tiring!!
For the Sec 1s and 2s, you all have to do 2 profis. Sec 3s, you only have to do 1 profi.
For the Sec 2s, one complusary profi that you have to do is your flora and fauna (THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN THE SCRAPBOOK) - This is for identifying flora and fauna! So on top of this you have to do another one as well!
Please hand in your profis on the first guides session of the year! we trust that you all will hand it up! If for some reason you really really really cannot hand up your profi, tell me and we'll see if I can you an extension or something. (I really hope i do not get any texts for this reason unless you really can't)
I hope all of you do not see the homework negatively, but see it as somehting that you can be proud of when you get your badge to be sewn on!
I also hope that all you have a fantastic holiday and use this time to catch up on syllabus as well as rest:) I look forward to the year ahead in guides and hope you all do too!!
Sec 2s, here is the instructions for flora and fauna (Unfortunately, this particular profi is not open to the sec 1s yet, but you can still do the scrapbook!)
Task and Objectives:
Guides are to form groups of 3 to
4. Within their groups they are to come up with a board game of sorts, which
when played, will require the players to identify various types of flora and
fauna. Any sort of board or card game is allowed to be created with various
rules and regulations as long as they require the players to identify the flora
and fauna. Guides will also have to take the durability of the game into
consideration, as the game should be able to be played and enjoyed rather than
just being there for show.
For example, you could have a
monopoly style game board, where when you roll a dice, you move a certain
number of spaces. When you land on a space, you may be required to pick up a
‘Fauna’ Card, where a picture of a bird or clues of a certain bird is given and
the player is required to be able to provide the answer for what bird it is. If
successful, the player can then move a certain number of spaces forward or
receive some sort of compensation in the game. (This of course is just an
example and this does not restrict the guides as to what type of game they
would like to create)
Guides will be required to
produce the game together with instructions and an answer key.
Criteria:
·
Do take note of the creativity and
originality of the game as well as the design.
·
Question whether you would personally like to
play this game
·
Question whether this game would actually be
effective in learning about various types of flora and fauna.
·
Take note of the evident effort put into the game –
whether it is well thought out or was it just last minute work?
·
With regards to creativity and originality,
is it just a regular board or card game where you move across the board, or are
they twists and turns? (E.g. in monopoly, there are treasure quest cards as
well as actions such as go to jail)
·
The game does not need to be made of
materials that are of high quality as we understand that the guides are not
machines which can produce games of the quality of games such as the game of
life or monopoly, the guides are required to produce something that can
actually hold up enough to be played by various players.
