Safe Journeys Year 7 Project--Previous 2018-19

Y7 Safe Journey’s Project -- Instructions

In your project groups decide what issue your group will examine and seek a solution for.

With your issue identified, on paper (to be later entered into a Google.doc) List the following:

• Goal for project: i.e. To reduce the number and severity of injuries and deaths

resulting from ___________ at/on ____________

• Names and email numbers for group members.

• State the Problem:

- Who are people injured

- What at the people doing when becoming injured?

- Where are these injuries occurring?

- Why are these injuries occurring?

- When are the injuries occurring?

- How are these injuries occurring?

• Using websites such as Auckland Transport and New Zealand Transportation Agency,

Safetylit.com, ACC, Safekids, etc find out

+ List the type of injury

+ List the number of injuries/deaths per year (Use NZ statistics only)

Enter this information into a Google.doc for your group. Label the Doc CLASS AND TOPIC

Share the document with your group members and Mr Wood gwood@rosmini.school.nz.

When you build your document use Arial Font. Size 12. Do not add colour, highlights, italics, etc. Keep this document clean and simple. We can ‘jazz’ it up later.

[Mr. Wood will link your document with the other documents from this class and other year 7 classes within the Y7 Safe Journey’s Webpage.]

Continue to add to the information on your document so as to build a good understanding of the PROBLEM

In class, your teacher will then help you identify the key problem that might be something your group might try and solve. You are not going to be able to build roads and bridges, but you might be able to influence the behaviour of people who cross the road without looking, or you use cell phones when driving.

Your group will continue to work on their document from school and home and also be able to see what other groups are doing.

Make sure that each contribution you make on the document has your name at the end so we can identify who in the group is contributing and who is not. Show as follows (John Bell)

After you have come to agreement on what solution might work, we want you to try the idea out and find out how it works and get some feedback.

Presentation of your group’s project will take place at the end of November. The presentation will consist of a max of 5 slides (Google slides). 1. Title page and group members; 2. Statement of the Problem and how big the problem is; 3. Solution and Why you chose that solution; 4. What you did to test your solution and 5. The Result and conclusion.
