Interviews with members of old generation to understand the difference in
lifestyles. New ICT tools to be used during the project (i.e. using a

Monitoring:

will be monitored throughout the project.

team leader will have a briefing with the project lead as well as with his
team members for assessment of task. Every week a briefing about the status
of the project will be done to the Whole class.
|
Individual progress
Reporting to other team for peer review and
valuable suggestions for each task and followed by consolidation of work by
the team after the approval of the project leader. Team checkpoint meetings
as well informally daily checking with teams and individuals on their work.
|
(7.5) Re-planning:
Describe how
‘re-planning’ will be used if the project goes off track
As student autonomy has to be provided to
enable them to achieve their behavioral changes, there is a risk of the
project going off track and hence additional time allowance will be kept in
the design of the project for handling overrun within the stipulated
deadlines of the overall project. There is an option for homework to be used
to catch up if necessary.
|
(7.6) Conflict Management:
Describe how to
address problems related to participation, offer approaches to manage other
conflicts that may arise.
The project envisions a long term impact of forest in
Kerala and need to preserve them. Development of interpersonal skills as well
as behavioral changes in its members and further through them to the society,
the conflict management part has to be dealt with utmost care and concern.
Hence the project leads role becomes pivotal.
To ensure that things goes smoothly within the team, the
rule of presenting ones’ view and accepting others and thereby shedding egos
will be considered the most important change and
teamwork rules will be included in project launch presentation.
Students are asked to initially try to work out conflicts on
their own. In the case of a deadlock, issues are to be raised with the
teacher.
Lack of participation will be dealt
sympathetically and project lead will ensure that each child
attains his minimal level of learning through the given task and will provide
necessary scaffolds to build his ability, confidence and thereafter attain
his role in the task.
