Learning Task
A number of activities could develop these understandings, including:
-
investigating the team-building activities that the Clipper race crews were involved in prior to the race, trying out some of these activities and evaluating their effectiveness;
-
considering team-building activities that the students have been involved in, for example in the classroom or in sporting teams, and understanding how has it helped them to improve as a team player;
-
analysing the importance of ensuring a team works well together using examples from their own experience as well as from the crews;
-
exploring the values or virtues necessary for teams to work together, then creating a shared learning product such as: a “team virtues tree” chart in which leaves contain the chosen virtues; or a display of "values keels" with key values explained on the keels of yachts.
Students could demonstrate their learning in a number of other ways, including:
-
creating a poster or piece of writing that argues the 3 most important values;
-
creating a “home video” of team building activities and marketing it to a target audience;
-
creating a video from edited clips of crew interviews to demonstrate the answer to a focus question such as "can you explain one key value critical to success as a crew member?"
