All about Project Assignment

Dear Readers,

If you scroll down, you will see pictures. Have you asked yourself what they might be? Well, if you keep reading, you will satisfy your wondering…….
The assignment came after a unit in their course book about Inventions and inventors. The task was to invent things that are not existed yet by using materials that they are not using anymore like thrown cloth and old clothes, recycled materials, etc.
The projects were to break the ice between the students who came from different schools to make it easier for them to study together ad to do the Bagrut oral exam later on. The exam includes topic research and they have to present it written and orally. The pictures showed the work of two classes and they students had to work in groups of 4-5 mixed students of boys and girls.
The projects that the students invented are amazing and for good purpose because the condition was to use them otherwise they will not get good assessment. (well, I skipped this sometimes (*_~). I asked them to make advertisement for their invention to be hanged all over the school walls. Some groups sent invitations for teachers and principals to attend their presentation. Students used power point presentation to explain the purpose of their inventions. To whom it meant? For what? How to use it? ..etc.
They invented "The Magnificent Jacket" that has every thing a person need. They decorated it with the initial letters of the group members. They sew the back. They included hidden pockets for money while traveling. They had a place for a small mirror and another place for a brush and tooth paste. They included a diary, bandana and many things that I don't remember.
Another group invented "The time Machine". They based their invention on a story they read. For that, they bought white balls and colored them in green and formed a squared shape. Other group retold the Trojan Horse story. They built the Trojan horse and talked about it. Another group talked about scientific issues in the human body.
One group invented a kind of food. They acted their work by inventing a chef, a scenario, dress, and a location. They cooked and fed the whole class and the guests.
Other group invented a movable house. Due to the fact that some illegal built houses are destroyed, they invented a portable house that can be moved to any place they want. They sewed the furniture inside the house that was made of cartoon and pulled by a distant remote control.
Another group invented a bed-side lamp that had a light, a place for a diary, a place to get tissue, and all are hand made.
These are few things that the classes invented. Hope they inspire you to use them with your classes.
Hope the idea becomes clear by now and you have an obvious idea about what students are doing.
Wait for the coming projects where students worked on building their rooms. 
What you have to do is to wait because the best is yet to come


Enjoy it!!
