1.
Brainstorm for Ideas
Have students in their groups brainstorm ideas
that would help their town become prosperous. Using the POOCH model, students
will need to state the full problem, available options and possible results
for each option to fully complete the table.
Once each group has completed their POOCH table
it will be pinned up around the room so that an interactive walk can take
place. Each group will go around the room looking at each others POOCH
diagrams for a predetermined amount of time and take notes about what ideas
they believed were sound.
Students will come back to the whole class group
and share the notes they have gathered about their peers ideas. Once
completed sharing students will get back into their groups, amend their POOCH
table if necessary and provide a summary of their choice to the teacher,
2. Decide on a plan
Student groups
will now create a proposal/final plan and each group member must do their part. Students
should list all the jobs and the person responsible for the completion of
that job.
As a group, students
need to decide how their final plan will be presented.
Some examples could include:
·
a
multimedia presentation using PowerPoint, HyperStudio etc
·
charts,
brochures, desktop published document
·
a
radio commercial or play
·
a web
site
As part of their
final plan, students must include the answers to the directed thinking process
diagram.
