Group Roles
This unit of work will require you to work collaboratively with other people in the class in order to complete the three tasks required for assessment. The tasks that need to be completed in each section of this unit of work are in the green boxes on each page. These tasks have been split into tasks called construct, calculate and document. Each member of the class is going to have an equal number of each of these task types. You will be individually assessed against the tasks that are in your area of responsibility and therefore the work of others in your group will not impact upon your own grade. However it is also important to note that the tasks are somewhat interrelated. At times you will need to work together to discuss and make decisions about the work, but the final implementation of those decisions comes down to one person. A description of the different task classifications is outlined below.
Construct
Calculate Document |
The tasks associated with construct are the ones that involve the production of components for the scale model of your block. It involves skills of 2D and 3D design in order to produce your components using laser cutting and 3D printing. These components will also need to be installed appropriately on the block of land.
The tasks associated with calculate are ones that involve developing mathematical models for all components of the block design. This involves predictions of food, electricity, and water usage, as well as tasks such as area and scale measurement calculations, and analysis of the feedback data. Excel will be used for all aspects of the analysis in the calculate tasks. The tasks associated with document are ones that relate to the production of the final sustainability report. With some of these tasks, such as those associated with housing and food, it involves research into ideas such as passive design and healthy eating. With other tasks it involves the analysis of the information obtained from the person doing the calculations and documenting the findings. In this role you will also be responsible for determining a star rating for the property that states and justifies how sustainable the property is. |
