Group

Description of Proposed Activity:

I will be in a group of approximately 8 people and we will be making clothing for children
who have been affected by the recent earthquakes in Nepal.

Proposed Activity Supervisor:

Ms White and Ms King

What challenges and/or new skills will this activity provide?

New skills:
- I will be learning how to use a sewing machine and overlocker, as well as using
and making a sewing pattern.
Challenges:
- Dealing with potentially emotionally difficult situations
- Working towards a deadline, as Ms King leaves for Nepal during the school
holidays, so we must get our work done before then.

What do you want to achieve from your participation in this activity?

I want to develop a better understanding of global issues and how my work can affect
other people around the work. I would like to come out of this group project with more
openmindedness regarding my impact on the world. I would also like to develop more
skills with sewing and learn more about the logistics of sending a bundle of clothing to
children in need in Nepal.

What evidence could be appropriate for this activity?

-

Photos and videos of the process

Sign-off sheet from supervisor

Which learning outcomes may be appropriate to reflect on for this activity?

CAS Program and before you are signed off)
