Part of this introduction was why we were doing it :-
Aim of the Unit Plan
To create a unit plan that is consistent across all departments at Tamaki College
Purpose of the Unit Plan
- Clarity of information
- Quality teaching and learning
- Teaching and learning information is visible and explicit
- Links all of the Tamaki College initiatives into teaching and learning programs
We focussed on the first part of the plan today with the target being the unit that will be taught in term 4 as part of the Jump Start course for the Year 10 students who are starting NCEA Level 1.
Here is the blank template for the unit plan
The unit I concentrated on completing is AS91069 - Promote an organised body of design work to an audience using visual communication techniques.
This is the first thing we do at NCEA Level 1 and I have planned 8 weeks for this project (it is worth 4 credits so needs approx 40 hours of time, so I have allotted 48 lessons - 50 mins x 48 lessons = 40 hours). We get 4 weeks doing the Jump Start course so this is half the time planned for this standard. This means we get to finish it off when we start back in the new year and 4 credits will go in for the students really early on in Term 1.
Here is the plan that I put together for this standard. The time during Jump Start should take us to the thumbnail sketching, ready to learn some Illustrator and Photoshop skills when they come back in the new year so they can do their design developments.
Section One
Unit Plan Overview | ||
