Thanks! I think that many groups would not get the opportunity to double the form--though the pictures here were from my last day at the workshop so I never got to see for myself!
I know that the groups (mostly pairs) who worked faster did get to complete the other side of the form.
This seems to be a typical positive feedback loop: that the better you are to begin with, the faster you go, meaning the more experience you get, making you even better!
The flipside of this is that the students who aren't so fast lose ground by comparison....
Thanks Ingemar! What you see here was not the whole exercise; the students still must build the other half of the form and close the ends. Many of the two-person groups got their 2.4m x 1.6m parts of the form up in one day. All the students (about 20) participated at about 6 different stations around the workshop.
It looks clean and tidy, but the students are dual the form, or do you settle whith one side only?

Hi Joe
ReplyDeleteDo the painting students ever come in after the wall is set up and paint it?
Or maybe the art students? I'm sure my 13 year old would love the opportunity to do graffiti on such a wall :-)

Hi Susanne! Yet again, a fantastic idea! This is one sort of wall, no one would mind a little graffiti on!
DeleteInterseting that you showed all teh steps leading to this.
ReplyDeleteHow long time did it take? How many studetns were involved?
