In lesson 9, you will need to report back to your tutor on the work you have done on the project days. Answer the following questions at the end of day 2:
1. How many initial ideas did you have as a group?
2. How did you come to your final idea for the proposal?
3. Did you have a group leader? How have you decided to allocate tasks?
4. What roles do people have in the team? How did you decide on these?
5. What methods and sources have you used to collect information?
6. What have been the strengths of your team so far?
7. What could you improve on for the next two project days?

# data[].attributes.body
Your group needs to decide on a plan for day 2. Consider the following questions:
- how will you divide up tasks? Look at your roles again.
- how long will you spend researching on day 2?
- what time will you all meet up again to share your research?

You can either write your answers to the questions in the comments, or upload a brief recording explaining what you will be doing tomorrow.

Remember to arrange a time to meet up on day 2 to share your research!

All group members are responsible for uploading their research on to this Padlet. This can include text, comments, pictures, recordings, links, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Primary research is new research, carried out to answer specific issues or questions. It can involve questionnaires, surveys or interviews with individuals or small groups. For example, you could ask the museum staff questions, such as:
- what events are popular?
- who typically comes to your museum?

You could also conduct secondary research, such as:
- looking up relevant literature on setting up a new museum (remember, this is still an academic project so you need to include references). The initial bibliography and guidelines have additional sources you can use to help you get started.
- conducting site searches using Google Earth.
- researching transport links.

# data[].attributes.body
Day 2 focuses on research. Read the following blue boxes, which should give you some ideas on how you can do this.
Once you have met up and shared ideas, upload what you have done. It is important to do this as this affects your attendance. Any boxes for day 2 should be in purple, so your tutor can clearly see the work you have done on day 2.

1. The students vote on whether to use PowerPoint or a role play? What are the pros and cons of using ‘voting’ to come to a decision?

2. What compromise is suggested by one group member?

3. The group losses focus and start to discuss the colour of the slides? How can they get back to the main task?

Then, answer the following questions:

1. The group move on to planning tasks. Does everybody agree to the planning process?

2. Why or why not?

Make sure that everyone is clear on the final proposal! In this box, one member of your team should write a statement which describes your proposal:
Jerry:Taking the local wine culture as the starting point, then collecting relevant information, such as history, love, law, production, and combining various knowledge of wine, such as people's strengths and weaknesses, health knowledge, in this museum, people should feel the unique charm of drinking, and can take various activities. Let people participate, raise people's interest and attract more people to understand wine.

In the comments, each member of the group should then add what their individual role is, and what they are responsible for.

Now, analyse your ideas. You can do this by:

reviewing them

clustering them (putting similar ideas together)

considering the very important question: how does it meet the task?

combining, rejecting, refining or selecting ideas

analysing options

focusing on ideas with the most potential

# data[].attributes.body
Look at the project title again and generate questions about it. This will help you think of ideas.

Develop a proposal for a brand new independent museum of local interest and critically evaluate your project.

One question could be: What museums already exist in the local area?

Write your questions in the comments below. Then, allocate a different team member to answer the questions you have written. An example has been given below.

Well done for successfully signing up and remaking the Padlet. You've taken the first step!

You should be familiar with the task by now, but if you need a reminder, please refer to the project brief on Moodle - it can be found under Part 2 Listening & Speaking. It is a good idea to have this open on your laptops during the project days.

Instructions for Day 1:
Today is about learning to collaborate, and developing effective group working practices. This is good preparation for your main course programmes, where group work is common.
You will also develop and refine ideas for the project. Be open-minded and creative! By the end of the day you should have a project proposal and a clear role for each individual. You will also need to read the information in the blue boxes in preparation for Day 2.

Based on the information you gathered from task 5, start brainstorming ideas for the project proposal.

Remember:

as many ideas as possible!

no such thing as a silly idea

impractical ideas are OK!

no criticism

no judgement

'yes and...' NOT 'yes but...'

Write up your ideas in the comments section, or in this task box.
