With the Year six students we have started to look at designing for a set customer this at first was set be letting them access the computers and researching any famous person they liked, but this gave the students too much room to move and they struggled to understand just what it was they were meant to be researching. I suggested that we gave them a sheet with a basic customer profile on it I.e. Name, age, job, famous for, likes, dislikes ect. They were then told that they were designing for Lady Gaga and this helped them find out and understand the research process as well as the importance of designing the appropriate product for their customer. Overall the year six students listened well and completed there work well. I have found with in this week that by keeping the time allotted for the tasks short their concentration is better and by allowing them to chat quietly they respect the noise level and classroom rules more. Overall this week has been fantastic and i'm enjoying working with the school and all the staff.
