The term democracy is derived from the Ancient Greek demokratia (δημοκρατία),

which was coined from demos (“people”) and kratos (“rule”) in the middle of the 5th

century BC

Encyclopaedia Britannica

Democracy is the belief that the majority of an organised group can make decisions

binding on the whole group

Wikipedia

Democracy is the government of the people, by the people and for the people.

Abraham Lincoln

Introduction

Promoting early engagement in public and community life is crucial to sustaining

and building a healthy society. Building a Culture of Participation, Kirby, Lanyon, Cronin, Sinclair, DFES, 2003

Experiencing Democracy follows on from the success of Everyday Archaeology (July 2006) and Sound Scavenging: Listen Your Way to School (July & December 2005) and is a continuation of Proboscis’ ongoing collaboration with the Jenny Hammond Primary School in Waltham Forest, London. The workshop explored ways of integrating democratic values and processes into a classroom environment by experiencing them not just talking about them. Experiencing Democracy is also the final project in Proboscis’ Social Tapestries research programme investigating the relevance of emerging tools and techniques for mapping and sharing knowledge and experience to social and cultural life.

Group work was at the core of the Experiencing Democracy workshop. It directly addressed the gap between formal democratic structures and everyday experience of participation in decision-making processes within a classroom setting. The workshop promoted active citizenship, enabling students to explore and learn the skills of negotiation and listening, leadership skills, how to work within a group, collaborate and build confidence to engage in the decision-making process. Led by primary school educator and sound artist Loren Chasse from San Francisco with Giles Lane and Orlagh Woods from Proboscis, it was a five day workshop with twenty-eight students (ages nine to ten) in Year 4. The workshop used some of Proboscis’ innovative and inspiring tools and techniques (including Diffusion eBooks, StoryCubes and online mapping technologies) to help students look at the relationships between the individual and the group, explore the roles within those groups and reflect on what it means to be part of a democratic process. It was an innovative, rewarding and broad immersion for the students, teachers, lead artist, Proboscis and the school.

In evaluating the project, we have been inspired by the willingness of the students to engage, learn and share their experiences, as well as the teaching staff who have worked with us to mesh their own teaching with our processes and tools. As well as daily evaluation sessions, we also held an afternoon evaluation discussion between Loren Chasse, Giles Lane, Stephanie Lucas (Year 4 class teacher) and Orlagh Woods at the end of the project to capture feedback and reflect on the workshop overall. Comments from this discussion, as well as descriptions of the activities, written reflections completed by the students and further reflections by the workshop facilitators form the basis of this report. Head Teacher Deborah Gibbon was also invited to comment on the workshop’s influence throughout the school.

The workshop was very successful; the children spoke enthusiastically about

what they were doing and felt empowered. They particularly enjoyed the fact

that they had choices about things and could display their work anywhere around

the school. The children appeared to have a good understanding about democracy

and freedom.

Background and AimsExperiencing Democracy aimed to engage young people and their teachers in recording, reflecting on and sharing their experiences of democracy and democratic behaviour in everyday life. The project aimed to build up a picture of what democracy feels like, and the kinds of everyday participative behaviours that help to strengthen democratic culture and engagement. It is built on Proboscis’ work to embrace cultures of listening through new processes, tools and partnerships that cross linguistic, cultural and social divides; in particular work in creating cross curricular tools that by their nature encourage the skills of democratic process: negotiation, listening, articulation, sharing and decision making. The workshop supports a range of key skills from making media, games, storytelling, art and literacy and numeracy and draws upon a number of innovative tools and techniques developed by Proboscis. These encourage sharing of knowledge and experience to promote a greater understanding and appreciation of difference. This in turn inspires students to understand that their voice matters and that they have agency to influence change in their classroom, school, community and environment.

Proboscis is a creative studio which researches, develops and facilitates innovation. It creates artworks and acts as a production company, commissioning agency, design studio, think tank and consultancy. Collaboration is at the core of its creative practice and ethos. Jenny Hammond is a diverse, high achieving primary school which believes in enriching the curriculum in imaginative and creative ways. In 2006/07 it had 200 students of which 53% were girls and 43% boys. 25% of these students’ first language was other than (or believed to be other than) English. Loren Chasse is a primary school educator and sound artist from San Francisco.

The project demonstrates that the Social Tapestries’ approach to integrating creative practices into learning responds to individuals’ skills and gives less confident students a voice. Our approach to public authoring, listening and creating, teaches how to link ideas between subjects; associative skills that encourage critical, empowered thinking about space and environment. It also demonstrates the benefit of working with an artist who can bridge artistic and school environments, allowing students and teachers to explore new artistic processes and ideas.

CollaborationIn response to the previous year’s evaluation, Proboscis collaborated very closely with Stephanie Lucas, the class teacher from Jenny Hammond Primary School and Loren Chasse, primary school educator and sound artist from San Francisco to design and develop the ideas around the Experiencing Democracy workshop. There was real investment from the class teacher in both the workshop and the process because of this

Page 8: Exp Democracy Report - Social Tapestriessocialtapestries.net/jennyhammond/Exp_Democracy_Report.pdf · Experiencing Democracy aimed to engage young people and their teachers in recording,

in depth collaboration at the beginning. This led to real motivation and investment in the continuation and sustainability of the concepts after the life of the project.

I was really excited about the workshop which of course the children picked up on.

This excitement was contagious within the classroom even before the workshop

began...

This type of in-depth collaboration is vital for the workshop to be successful...

If you have already invested in the planning and delivery of the workshop, you’ll

want it to continue. It therefore becomes part of your everyday teaching

Stephanie Lucas

Student Participation The students were encouraged to reflect on what they had learnt by constantly getting their feedback on the various activities and by filling in their eBooks daily. The content and language of the workshop came from the students.

By being flexible and open to change and giving the students a voice, the

workshop became empowering for the students. They felt that they are part

of decision making process from the offset. This did a lot to allow the students

to be invested.

We were giving them a voice by constantly getting their feedback.

Loren Chasse

Questions Posed • Are there times when other people make decisions for you?

How do you feel about this? • Do there have to be times when other people have to make decisions for you?

Is this fair? • How are decisions made in your home / classroom / school / with your friends / in

your neighbourhood? • Can you give examples of democracy in your home / classroom / school / playground

/ public spaces? • What things do you think are undemocratic in your classroom or in the playground?

(for example bullying) • How could they be changed? • Is democracy different within different cultures?

Have you or someone you know lived in a place without democracy? • If you or your parents wanted to try and change something in your school or

neighbourhood, how would you go about it? • Is it important to be part of the decision making process? Why? • What do you understand by the word ‘democracy’?

LearningThroughout the week, the students explored, through fun and playful activities, some fundamental life skills and ideas around democratic values and decision making processes.

Page 9: Exp Democracy Report - Social Tapestriessocialtapestries.net/jennyhammond/Exp_Democracy_Report.pdf · Experiencing Democracy aimed to engage young people and their teachers in recording,

The children didn’t realise what they were learning, they were having so

much fun

Stephanie Lucas

These included: • How to select and organise themselves within different groups • Exploring through playful activities the importance of roles within a group and the

skills needed • Importance of knowing the purpose of an activity prior to making a group • How to work as a group and rely on other people and have respect for other

people’s skills • How to participate, compromise and vote as a class • Negotiation, listening skills, democratic decision-making processes • How to transfer what they were learning at school into different contexts • Connecting the ideas of Citizenship – working as a group; working as a class;

working as a school; working as a community

The students became more comfortable in talking about groups and taking an

active role in a group’s decision-making processes

Loren Chasse

These practices help the teacher in the long-term.

Stephanie Lucas

What went well • The content of the workshop came from the students and they evaluated and

reflected on the learning throughout the week. They therefore felt that they were part of creating the workshop and by being given the opportunity to constantly feedback they became more invested and involved in the learning and therefore took it more seriously.

• Whilst the workshop structure was carefully planned out in advance, it was also designed to allow for changes and adaptations to happen (depending on the issues arising for the students) through daily reflection and feedback sessions between the Proboscis team and the teacher taking into consideration the input from the students.

• The learning process was made transparent to the students. They were introduced to the idea of critical appraisal by trying to understand why and what they were learning – the methods and processes being used.

Page 10: Exp Democracy Report - Social Tapestriessocialtapestries.net/jennyhammond/Exp_Democracy_Report.pdf · Experiencing Democracy aimed to engage young people and their teachers in recording,

• By the end of week many students were gaining confidence – in particular, some of the less confident and more reticent students were speaking up more.

• Having the different contexts gave the students a chance to reinvent themselves and start from scratch. The “expert” relay was great for improving team-building skills.It doesn’t matter if the other team wins. It just matters that we’re having fun

One student to another during the ‘expert’ relay activity

• There was a real interest in the project from other students within the school.Students were asking why a picture was in a certain place? Whose was it?

Stephanie Lucas

• Other discussions were taking place in other classes and within the school communityThe workshop really got the students thinking about democracy and made me

think about what is democratic in the school. What choices do the students have?”

Children were talking more on a political level.

Stephanie Lucas

We enjoy having visiting artists in the school; it is always very exciting for the

children and can be an inspiration to the staff. Proboscis are always welcome.

Deborah Gibbon

Important Lessons Learned • Making the workshop immediately personal to the students

They were immediately given a choice that they’d never had before using

something they’d already created from the previous week.

Loren Chasse

• Having, as far as possible, the same teacher for the whole project or a teacher who has been well briefed on the aims and objectives of the project.

• Giving students a real context for learning. The students are much more engaged and put in a lot more effort when what they’re learning is connected to things that they feel passionate about.

• Having real in depth collaboration between all parties to ensure sustainability of the ideas and concepts

• Introducing game-making through something they know already. This makes it easier for the students to concentrate on how the groups work together. At a later date, after these initial ideas are learnt, the game-making can be more interlinked with their curriculum work. By this stage, students will already be aware of how to work in a group so there

will be less need to discuss behaviour within the group.

Loren Chasse

• Using the student’s language initially so they feel invested and part of the process

Page 11: Exp Democracy Report - Social Tapestriessocialtapestries.net/jennyhammond/Exp_Democracy_Report.pdf · Experiencing Democracy aimed to engage young people and their teachers in recording,

The students came up with the various roles needed within a group.

It may have been directed by the workshop leaders but the students came

up with the language.

Giles Lane

This workshop is a really good example of what can be done while still being fully

productive.....

...it made me realise how powerful a tool video can be.

Stephanie Lucas

For schools that follow a creative curriculum where there is flexibility in the school

day it could be very easily incorporated into the curriculum. It would be much harder

for a school that has a very rigid timetable to follow.

Deborah Gibbon, Head Teacher

Future Directions • Develop a pared down version of the workshop which could be delivered by a single

teacher at the beginning of the school year and could therefore integrate and transfer some of the activities and decision making processes into the curriculum and work throughout the year. The workshop could be adapted to fit with all ages. It develops good principle values for group work which the teacher could refer back to throughout the year.

the students will take the ideas into the next year

Stephanie Lucas

• Link the workshop to a history lesson e.g. Ancient Greece exploring the historical context of the political ideas of democracy

• Develop links with schools in other countries so they can share their experiences of democracy

• Develop and deliver professional development workshops for teachers and student teachers

• Develop a larger project with the whole school including students, staff, governors, families and community on a particular issue e.g. school uniform as an exploration of the democratic process. Activities could include data gathering, surveys and fieldtrips. It was agreed that this would need more commitment, time and funding.

Page 12: Exp Democracy Report - Social Tapestriessocialtapestries.net/jennyhammond/Exp_Democracy_Report.pdf · Experiencing Democracy aimed to engage young people and their teachers in recording,

It is important to link the subject to something the students are passionate about.

Giles Lane

With a longer term project, it would be great to shift the teacher role and have

more variation between the class teacher and the invited teacher/artists to make

it more like team teaching

Stephanie Lucas

Diffusion eBooks Diffusion eBooks are used to create custom engagement and notetaking books for specific projects as well as for publishing essays and project documentation. They can be used as a way to gather, collect and share knowledge and can be a personal means of ongoing reflection. The eBook format allows us to design and distribute a notebook that participants in a project or workshop can fill in by hand (writing, drawing or adding stickers as they wish) which can then be scanned and turned back into a PDF file for sharing – either within the group or more widely. This ‘virtuous circle’ moving from digital to material to digital is at the core of the ‘Shareables’ concept. The eBooks are free to download, cost almost nothing to make and can be shared (or re-distributed) as both physical objects and PDF files.http://diffusion.org.uk

Use within WorkshopThe eBooks were used by the students as an educational tool to reflect on what they had been learning every day. These learning diaries gave them the opportunity to see that what they’d been doing throughout the week was important and not just fun and games. The students were engaged in completing and embellishiong the eBooks because they were both personal to each of them, they were a novel way to record their learning and because they were specifically tailored to the project and workshop.

Unbelievably I left the class for 2 minutes when they were filling in their eBooks

and asked another teacher to keep an eye on the class. There wasn’t a word

spoken. 28 children with their heads down just writing their eBooks. I hadn’t said

that they needed to fill them in silence. They were just so focused.

Stephanie Lucas

Children’s self esteem was raised by the appreciation the Proboscis staff gave to

the children regarding their work. They all felt valued. They liked the fact that they

got something out of it by having a book each showing their work over the week.

Deborah Gibbon

Future Uses and Lessons LearnedThe eBooks could easily be modified for any age group. e.g. Giant eBooks for a reception year. They would be a great way to focus a literary project e.g. if the class were reading a whole book, you could use the eBook to tailor questions, queries and reflections on the book throughout the reading.

The kids were still excited even after the workshop had finished every day – it hadn’t

ended for them they were still able to work on the eBooks

StoryCubesStoryCubes are a tactile thinking and storytelling tool for exploring relationships and narratives. Each face of the cube can illustrate or describe an idea, a thing or an action, placed together it is possible to build up multiple narratives or explore the relationships between them in a novel three-dimensional way. StoryCubes can be folded in two different ways, giving each cube twelve possible faces – and thus two different ways of telling a story, two musings around an idea. Like books turned inside out and upside down they are read by turning and twisting in your hand and combining in vertical and horizontal constructions. We have begun to use these in projects with communities and schools to help reveal different sides to the stories people tell, enabling them to see from others perspectives and viewpoints, promoting a higher level of thinking, negotiating and decision making process.http://proboscis.org.uk/storycubes

Use within WorkshopThe students began by making the 3d StoryCubes from a flat sheet. They then selected stickers printed with images taken throughout the week to cover the sides of the cube and tell their own particular story from the project. Some students preferred to draw or write on the sides rather than use the printed images. The students then worked in groups to tell their stories from the week’s activities and share and listen to other student’s stories from the different perspectives. Discussions continued on the overall project, activities, groupwork and democracy as an idea.

Future Uses and Lessons LearnedIt is important to introduce the StoryCubes at an early stage in the workshop so the students get used to using them as a tool and don’t get too excited by the images.The StoryCubes are a great tool though with a more timid group it is important to keep the numbers small so everyone has a chance to contribute.

As the cubes were used, they were looking at pictures of themselves or images

they had made and trying to make stories. As it was the first time for the students

to use them, they weren’t ready to do freeplay.

Case Studies with Stephanie Lucas (Year 4 class teacher)

Student 1 was shy and very unlikely to speak up or give opinions in class. Even when knowledgeable in an area the student never oozes confidence

Stephanie Lucas

She grew in confidence throughout the week. On the second day she was placed in the position of having to lead a group of 6 other children. She did this particularly well, not necessarily telling the other students what to do but giving everyone a voice and helping the group to come to decisions together.

It was an amazing achievement. The confidence definitely came from the

workshop.

She talked so diplomatically about what leadership was about – using words like

compromise

Stephanie Lucas

Student 2 was a reluctant reader and writer. It was always difficult to get him involved in school work.

Throughout the week he kept asking to get his eBook out – even when he’d done

what was asked, he wanted to add to it and make it better.

Stephanie Lucas

Student 3 was a complete leader and a little intimidating to the other students in the class. He gives the impression that he’s too cool for school and pretends he isn’t interested.

He really developed over the week and began to think about what group work

meant and was extremely engaged in the sessions. He really got into the project

and encouraged other more timid students to be involved.

Stephanie Lucas

Student 4 was a really good student but very quiet. He had the potential to be left out a little in class.

Throughout the workshop, other students realised what a role-model he was. The

other students seemed to have more respect for him than they did prior to the

workshop. He was a quiet leader. He shone for all of us

Local InfluencesIn travelling to and from the school everyday we encountered a poster campaign created by the local authority (London Borough of Waltham Forest) – Waltham Forest, 225,000 people; 1 Community. The posters wered designed to demonstrate the rich diversity of the borough’s community and reinforce perceptions of tolerance.

The posters were familiar to the students, being prominently displayed in public places around the borough, and provided a key opportunity for a discussion on the fourth day of the workshop about representation and democracy in the local community. On the last day of the project it was suggested that we make our own version of the poster to reflect how the class itself represented the diversity of the borough.

Workshop Day by DayThe workshop took place over 5 days. Throughout the week, the students were introduced to various ways of making groups. Each day they would have to make different choices, building up their knowledge of what is needed to be part of a group, the various roles that are important within that group and the skills needed for those roles. Through playful activities, they learnt to think about the skills needed for a group to do a particular thing and the necessity of knowing the activity prior to making their groups. Each afternoon, the students were given the opportunity to reflect on the day’s activity and what they’d learned by filling in their eBooks and continuing the discussions with their class teacher. See below for a more detailed breakdown of the day’s activities:

Day 1 - ChoiceObjective: Today we would like you to have an opportunity to make a choice you usually don’t get to have in your school day. Also, we would like you to experience about how individuals contribute to groups and how groups contribute to larger communities.Activity: The students were given the choice to make their own groups and took the pictures they’d created from the previous week and placed them anywhere in the school.Some Questions: • How did you feel being told which group you were going to be in? • Did anyone take a leadership role in your group? • Did your group members listen well to each other? • Was anyone able to persuade someone else to agree with their idea about the story?

Day 2 – Roles and ResponsibilitiesObjective: Today we would like you to learn about what it means to be responsible to a group of people.Discussion about group work and the roles people play, the skills needed within groups

Page 16: Exp Democracy Report - Social Tapestriessocialtapestries.net/jennyhammond/Exp_Democracy_Report.pdf · Experiencing Democracy aimed to engage young people and their teachers in recording,

and the responsibilities towards other group members.Activity: Making a Game. Again the students were asked to work in groups to do a creative activity, It was important to give the students something they knew how to do. This meant that all students could immediately take part and put more attention onto how they delegated roles and responsibilities within their group.Some Questions: • What are some roles (jobs) that are important to have when you are working with a

group of people?

I noticed a tough guy putting his arm around a timid guy and getting him more

involved

Loren Chasse

It was really exciting for them to make their own game. We got out of it exactly

what we wanted. Normally in school if games are made they are based around the

curriculum. This was more about the groups.

Stephanie Lucas

My impression from filming the students was that some of them thought a good

leader was someone who would come up with all the solutions and tell the other

students what to do. As the week went on that shifted. All the students began

taking more responsibility for what was happening within the group. They were all

more involved in the decision making process

Orlagh Woods

Day 3 – Fairness and ChoiceObjective: Today we’d like you to have an opportunity to think about the choices you have when you are at school and how you might participate in creating new choices for yourselves. We’d also like you to learn about how the purpose will affect your choices.Activity: School Survey – think about all the spaces and classes in the school and how those spaces are used. What choices do you have when you are in a certain area of the school?Some Questions: • Which of the roles that we discussed yesterday might be important for today’s group

activity?

Day 4 – Expert Relay - Inclusion and ParticipationObjective: Today we’ll be giving you the opportunity to experience and discuss some of the issues around Inclusion, Participation, Equity and RepresentationActivity: ‘Expert’ Relay - A series of 7 activities: – Football – dribbling round cones – Pictionary – Cutting out a shape – Multiplication / Division Problems – Hula-hoop – Making something – Countdown – spell and write with chalk on playground 10 words beginning with ZThese were undertaken by the students in the playground using numeracy, creativity, literacy and movement skills to further explore different ways of working together as a group. The students were initially asked to select their top 2 skills from the list

Page 17: Exp Democracy Report - Social Tapestriessocialtapestries.net/jennyhammond/Exp_Democracy_Report.pdf · Experiencing Democracy aimed to engage young people and their teachers in recording,

above. Groups were then made from this knowledge and when they found out what the activities were for the expert relay, they were given a short time within their groups to decide who would do which activity. After the ‘expert’ relay, the students worked, again in groups, to come up with their own relay activities.

It was important for the students to do the activity as a model prior to coming up

with their own ‘expert’ relay.

Loren Chasse

The competition part wasn’t really important and kids weren’t fixated on it. The

team that won may have had a moment of glory but that wasn’t what the activity

was about.

Stephanie Lucas

Day 5 – Reflection and Wrap-up Objective: Today we’ll be Reflecting on the week’s activities through Storycubes and online mapping tools. There will also be a discussion about Democracy and what that means within the class, school, family and community. Activity: Making StoryCubes, Google Maps and sharing stories from the week’s workshopSome Questions: • How many of you believe you had an opportunity this week to vote for the way

something would be done in class? How many of you felt you were part of a majority? Or a minority?

• What would you say to someone, such as a parent or a friend from another class, if they asked you what you learned in the workshop this week?

• Do you think it was meaningful for you to be doing these activities and having these discussions with us?

At the end of the week, a debate got going about what democracy meant. The

students realised through the discussion that what they’d learnt throughout the

week had all been about democracy. They were really interested in it and came up

with names like Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and The Queen.

Stephanie Lucas

I was amazed to learn that the students in my survey group had not been in the

cafeteria when it was not being used for meals. With its tables folded and pushed up

against the walls, the room appeared cavernous and provided a wide open space into

which the students immediately ran, tumbled and slid.

“Why don’t we have break in here on a rainy day?” one of them asked.

Appendix B – Teacher’s Notes and Reflections

The workshop is ‘personalized’ – grounded in the students’ prior experiences from the start. With the intention of introducing what may be new concepts, we intend that there will always be a context that is familiar to ground the students in their exploration.

> Today we would like you to have an opportunity to make a choice you usually don’t get to make during your school day.

It is important that people feel they have choices that are truly their own, not just those ‘choices’ that are chosen for them. So the workshop begins with an activity for which the students are given choices to hang artwork they have made the previous week with their classroom teacher. Before setting out in groups to do this, there is a discussion about the factors/considerations/etc. that inform the choice-making process.

> Think about the places where you are normally allowed to display your artwork and

then imagine some places where you wish you could hang your artwork. When you’re

making your choice remember to ask yourself, “Will my action have a positive effect on

the school?” An example of a negative effect might be something like hanging your

artwork over a fire exit sign or covering something someone has already put there.

Experiencing democracy means to experience how individuals contribute to groups and how groups contribute to larger communities. A structural principle for the workshop is that of group work. Throughout the week, the students will go about organizing themselves into groups in diverse ways, each time taking more initiative in this process as the teachers gradually relinquish their own authority. The first instance of group-making for the week is perhaps the most conventional as the choice is made arbitrarily by the teacher without consideration for the individual students.

> I am going to begin by making groups. Since I do not know any of you very well yet, I

will use the class register your teacher has given me. When I call your name please go

to the group I assign you…

Another structural principle for the workshop is that of reflection. At all stages the students will be invited and encouraged to meta-cognate in regard to the learning process that is taking place. No activity will pass where the students are not given an opportunity to provide feedback to their teachers and to each other.

> Do you remember how groups were chosen this earlier this morning before we went

out to hang our artwork?

• How did you feel about being told which group you were going to be in? • Did you mind? • Do you think it was fair? • What other ways can you suggest for making groups?

In order to make reflection meaningful, it is necessary to provide the students with linguistic frameworks (grammar and vocabulary) so they have access to the oral genre and may participate with confidence.

Page 21: Exp Democracy Report - Social Tapestriessocialtapestries.net/jennyhammond/Exp_Democracy_Report.pdf · Experiencing Democracy aimed to engage young people and their teachers in recording,

Some example sentence frames:“I think/believe the way we made groups this morning was fair/unfair because________.”

“I propose another way for making groups by________________.”

Discussions begin with the generation of vocabulary ‘banks’, posted so the students may refer to these words throughout the week. While new vocabulary will be introduced by the teacher, it is a priority that we begin by using the students’ own language so they understand their own role in generating the content of the workshop and are subsequently encouraged to participate as their own words are validated in this way.

> What are some roles (jobs) that are important to have when you are working with

a group of people?

The students words are charted side-by-side with synonyms introduced by the teacher:

LEADER/FACILITATOR SCRIBE/WRITER/NOTE-TAKER

CLOCK-WATCHER/TIME-KEEPER SPEAKER/PRESENTER

PROCESS-KEEPER/MONITOR AMBASSADOR/COMMUNICATOR

READER

> Who will be responsible for making sure the group has what it needs?

PERSON WHO GETS MATERIALS/GO-GETTER

As the discussion of group work takes on this element of the role, the teachers become more diligent about modeling their own roles for the students in their facilitation of the workshop. • What has been my role yesterday and today? • What role has your classroom teacher been playing? • What about the other adults involved? • Do you believe you can have more than one role in a group? • Do you think if you are not any of these things that you still have a role in your group? • What could it mean to be a listener?

For reflection we borrow a practice from the methodology of Reggio Emilia and provide the students with an opportunity to critically review a video documenting their group work from a previous day. > Today we are going to begin by taking a few minutes to look at some video from

yesterday’s group work.

• What do you notice? • What worked well? • What could have gone better? • Do you think being video recorded changed the way you behaved?

GROUP WORKAs the week proceeds and the workshop evolves, group-making takes different forms with a gradual turning over of choices to the students. It is important, first, that they are informed/educated (as in any democracy) about why group work is taking place, how it works and what its purpose is.

> For our next activity we are going to make groups in a slightly different way. This time

you will not be told where to go. There is just one rule you need to follow: You must

make six different groups. It doesn’t matter how many students are in each group,

only that you have made six groups!

• How did your group work together for this activity? • Were there any disagreements? Were you able to solve them? How? • Did anyone take a leadership role in your group? Did your group members listen

well to each other? Was anyone able to persuade someone else to agree with their idea about the story?

• Do you think making groups this way was a good idea? Does it seem fair? Why or why not?

• Do you believe our way of making groups for this activity was fair? Why or why not?

• Today we made groups before knowing what the purpose of the group was. If you had been told you were going to be making a game, would you have chosen a different role for yourself?

And later in the week:> We’ve been making groups this week in different ways. Now we are at a point where

we need to make groups again.

• Does anyone have an idea about how we should do it? Students suggest several choices and vote.

CHOICEBefore making a choice, it is best we have some knowledge of what not to choose based on the requirements of the situation. It is important that we understand the contexts in which our choices will affect others and that we practice choosing while considering what the outcome might be for all. A great component of this practice is the capacity to empathize – that is, to imagine the perspective/experience/etc. of another person even though you have not had that perspective/experience yourself. Since children still cling tightly to their individual desires to a point where compromise and agreement across a whole classroom might become quite difficult and belabored, it might work best to provide smaller groups with opportunities to evaluate possibilities and to reach consensus among a lesser number.

> Today we’d like you to have an opportunity to think about the choices you have

when you are at school and how you might participate in creating new choices for

yourselves. We’d also like you to learn about how purpose will affect your choices.

School Survey The layout of a school and the designated purposes of its areas are most often determined before the day students arrive. Yet despite the institutional plan, there are ways in which space may be personalized or used alternatively from individual to individual, group

Page 23: Exp Democracy Report - Social Tapestriessocialtapestries.net/jennyhammond/Exp_Democracy_Report.pdf · Experiencing Democracy aimed to engage young people and their teachers in recording,

to group. Breaking up the monotony of routine is important to the process of teaching and learning. If a particular subject is learned at the same time each day, under the same lighting, within a static physical framework, there is a slight risk that the subject matter will become identified with that environment and that the student will have trouble transferring the lessons of the experience elsewhere. Before giving students an opportunity to propose alternatives to the specific situations in which they learn, they are sent out to survey their school environment as a means for informing their sensitivity and awareness of what is and isn’t available and/or possible.

> Today we are going to conduct a survey of your school.

• Can anyone tell us what a survey is?> Your school has many different places that are used in different ways.

• Can someone name a place at school and describe how it is used/what it is used for?

• Where do you spend most of your school day? How do you use your classroom? > You will be going out in small groups for a walk around school. We would like you to

think about how different areas of your school are used in different ways.

• What are they like? • Are they noisy? • Are they peaceful? • Is there a certain kind of activity that takes place there? • Is it a place where you can be social with your friends? • Is it a place that’s good for listening or speaking? • For playing, eating, reading…? • Are there places where you are not allowed to go? • Do you know why? • Is it a place you think you should be allowed to be in? • Also, how does an area change depending on what time of day it is?> The Big Question we want you to ask yourselves is:

• What choices do you have when you are in a certain area of the school?
