A silly one off lesson which takes around an hour. Works well for induction sessions. Lesson starts off with a deadpan question about if students saw the news? What follows are some slides to support a highly spurious tale about rockets being fired from the Isle of White into deep space, supported by some faked newspaper articles about aliens. It all comes down to a meeting is needed, and it will be in the O2 arena (The Millenium Dome as it’s visible from space), but what will they sit on? How do you design a chair for a creature you’ve never met?
The lesson is designed to encourage interaction within groups of students who don’t know each other, and also raises some questions about user centered design.
Pairs / Groups then present their ideas (with good evidence about where the tail goes).
It lasts about an hour, brings a smile to the face, and engages students.
Included is a powerpoint (and a pdf version too). There is no lesson plan, it somewhat ‘runs itself’ from the powerpoint.
Something went wrong, please try again later.
