whats inside the jolly jar
Jolly Jars for the school fair. This task helped us to begin exploring our Project based learning question for the term - How can we build community through our actions? We had to research ideas, be creative with our product, experiment with our materials and write instructions that could be followed by others.
Here is a link to my instructions.
I learnt that instructions need to be exact, readable fonts ,exciting language like verbs and verbs are doing words, titles, materials, and look really nice to catch people's eyes.
Reflection on project based learning: For our Jolly Jar my group had to work hard to create the wonderful jars for our sock puppets. We also had to make the instruction clear with a big bold title and nice fonts with steps to point out the start of a new step. It is important to work well together by giving ideas and bringing in cool helpful materials.
I contributed to my group by bringing in materials and making sure the instructions had a title, steps, readable fonts, good spelling, punctuation like full stops and capital letters. and making and helping to make the jars with tissue paper and glitter to catch the customers eyes at the fair.
Our Jolly Jar was creative because we had a fun original idea of sock puppets and it was an easy product to make and sell. People like to create and play with the sock puppets.
What I learned about working with others was it is okay and my group worked really well together in my group. I had Benjamin, Ebony, Issac and me Beth. It is okay to work with people you're not friends with or that you don’t know a lot about because you can work with them and learn a lot about them. I learnt lots of things from working with my group.
How did we build community through our actions? by making a fun creative toy that someone from the community can buy and by going to the fair and selling it at the amazing fair. The fair was amazing and we raised lots of money for the bike track and some of that money was from the jolly jars.
