Sit at same computer as previous week (computer # recorded in student list)

Instruction

Task is to write a step of cue phrases to use as notes for a lesson where our students will play the part of the teacher. The notes and cues must give specific instruction for use and interaction in the structure created by the team the student belongs to. The students will work between the Minecraft software and a word document to create this lesson sequence document.

Include key functions and Minecraft specific language.

Save the words document you create to the Minecraft folder on the student server.

Give explicit instructions to find each other in world. Students are to do this in a set period.

Time management - Set timer 2 min to locate your team

Begin task as outlined

Allow 20 minutes for development of the document and planning of the steps/instructions.

At 20 minute mark partner up.

Team A Pig Race partner  Team B Spleef

Team C Parcor partner team D Rollercoaster

The students are to role-play teacher and student and test the steps and instruction they have designed. Students from other teams will be the “students” and follow all the instructions they are given to use the structure that has been built.

Set timer for 5 minutes

Feedback - At the end of the 5 minutes the “students” are to verbalise 3 positives about the “teacher” and give them 1 thing they feel could have been done better. Reverse roles and move to the structure of the other team. Repeat Process.

Back to own structures and document development continue and improve.
