6. Creating a new building for the London Olympic Village...
OUR TEAM TASK OVERVIEW 4 LESSONS...
You will work in a group of 5. (6 groups). Your activity is also explained on your Dragons Den Worksheet.
You have to create a sustainable tourist building that will be situated in the ‘Olympic village’ for the London 2012 Olympics.
You have to design the building and present it.
Your team will design your sustainable building with annotations on the sugar paper and write a sales pitch for the presentation.
Your first lesson (today) will be on researching the Olympic village, choosing your ‘slant’, brainstorming ideas and getting your design started. Next lesson you will finish your design with all annotations, you will also start writing your speech. The lesson after that you will delegate speech roles, and practice your pitch to a level in accordance with your criteria sheet. Your final lesson will be presenting your pitch to the dragons who will assess you and level you.
You will work to the criteria sheet in order to get the investment from the dragons a high level and some rewards!
Each group will take in turns to be dragons.

7. My Teamwork Schedule MAIN TASK
Chose a building – Use pictures/Maps/Websites
Chose your Slant (Focus) – Use own knowledge to help you
Brainstorm all ideas on how your building will be –
a) Environmentally Friendly (to include in illustrations)
b) Economically Friendly (to include in speech)
4) Brainstorm all your ‘slant’ pointers/ideas to help.
5) Plan (in rough) then design your map/illustration/visual aids with annotations around of your building and its surrounding area. – Use websites on making homes and businesses more sustainable to help.
6) Write your speech, delegating who will say what. Practice it
7) Presentations (your business pitch) and Dragons assessment
The team with the highest investment will be the winners!
They will have their Olympic Dream established!

8. THINKING ABOUT MY TASK
Your Team Prompt Help Sheet! You will have to give good, clear, realistic, reasons as to why your building is sustainable and convincing to the Dragons when you present in the den. Every group has to make their new building 1) Environmentally friendly and 2) Economically Friendly SO YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT HOW YOUR NEW BUILDING IS GOING TO BE SUSTAINABLE IN THESE 2 WAYS. HOWEVER! Your team must ASLO chose one of the following ‘slants’ as listed below. This slant is what your team will focus on throughout your design, annotations and speech. So here are a few pointers to think about in your team to help you in your ‘slant’ for your new building! ALSO think about what unique selling point your building will have. You need to minimise the negative impacts and maximise the positive on the economy and the environment.

9. My Teams ‘Slant’ For Profit 2) For Community Youth Groups 3) Disabled
Pointers to consider (you don’t have to do all)

3) Disabled
How will people with disabilities move around the village safely?
Wheelchair access around your new building? Fire exits?
How can local schools use your building for students with different disabilities?
4) For Tourism
How will you advertise to attract more tourists to visit your building?
What decent attractions will there be to provide lasting enjoyment for tourists?

Examples of:
A Valid Environmental Reason - This building will use locally sourced recycled materials. Therefore less wood is taken from unsustainable forests. This in turn reduces the carbon footprint of the building.
A Valid Economically friendly Reason - Because our building will use locally sourced sustainable materials local businesses will prosper. This then leads to the multiplier effect of more local jobs and a higher disposable income for people in the community.
