Scripting+Systems+Stories

Based on Week 2 progress and the video for Week 4, we should go over the following systems as well as make time for recording students.

=Video Project:= Each group of students was assigned a system and each student is responsible for completing one part of the system map. Some students may be able to complete the map before the next time we visit, but there will probably be a few groups that need a little extra help next time we arrive.

Here is the system script template:

Below are the Tamarac students assigned to each system group with a short description of the system. Each student is assigned one question (What strengthens the system, what weakens the system, what work can the system do and what problems can the system cause). For groups with five students, the fifth student is responsible for describing the parts of the system.

Climate System
(Julianna, Nessa, Joe, Dimitry & one other student) This group will draw on the map they made in the first class as well as the map on the Bulletin board.

School System
(Emma, Lena, Mia and Patrick) Even though the students only went through an impromptu discussion of this system with Professor Fortun last week, this group was able to quickly complete the map when they were first assigned the system.

Energy/Power System
(Cyra, Bella, Maddy, and Sal) I didn't have a ton of time to go over this system with the students, but combined with the homework from Jordan and Christopher, the students should be able to complete it.

**Model System**
(Carmelo, Michael, Maizie, and Alex) This group will describe the different parts of the system map and will act as an introduction to the video.

Lego City
(Garrett C, Sammy, Garrett S, Aidan, and Cameron) This is the final system that we will go over with the students. It will hopefully build on the other systems (city, climate, power) but (hopefully) reflect what the students will want to build when they start Lego City in a couple of weeks.
