6. What areas of the curriculum are most exciting to students?
Students should feel in control of their experience
Soft skills
Once students are engaged they will be more responsive to guidance
The product the students create will evidence the context they feel is most appropriate to their curriculum learning. They will produce an activity that they feel is fun and engaging by drawing on their existing knowledge - this will show where they currently stand within that curriculum. By asking the same students how they will present the activity to younger years they will show their own views on where they were when they were younger and what context they feel is appropriate to those years.
