Final Set Design

Lesson 7: Final Set Design

 

Lesson Objective: Students will present their final set design for the class by showing/explaining their set design models.

 

Materials Needed:

2 Large tables (have them set up in the front of the room)

Set Model Presentation Point Breakdown sheets  7.Final Presentation Evalution Breakdown

 

Presentation Day:

At the start of class, have students set up their 3-D models on the table.

 

Give students 2-3 minutes to walk around and look at the different types of models that were created.

 

Have students take a seat and begin the formal presentations. Each student will take a turn (3-5ish mins) formally presenting their model to the class.

 

Students’ presentations will be graded using the set model/presentation breakdown as they present.

 

Self Assessment:

After all models have been presented, put on some instrumental music. Have students take out a pen/pencil and paper and spend some time answering the following questions:

  • What were some exciting design choices you saw in others’ work?
  • How did you see designers applying their viz/research in their design choices?
  • What were some new discoveries you made about your show through the design process?
  • What do you feel you did well with throughout the unit? (Be specific)
  • What do you feel you could improve on? (Be specific)

 

Discussion:

Go through the questions and have students share some of their answers that they gave to the questions they reflected on.  Share some of your insights, things you’ve learned/been impressed with in their work throughout the unit.

 

Wrap up:

Have students turn in their self assessments at the end of class. They will be given points for these.
