SELF EVALUATION
Overall, I feel the lesson ran smoothly and went according to plan.
What went well?
From walking around the class, it was evident that students were able to download the templates and plot in garments from their chosen retailer while understanding the importance of using these templates to check for balanced ranges.
What could have been improved?
Issue(s):
The mood and atmosphere in the class felt a little ‘tired/flat’ which was a shame. While all students present were involved and completing the task, the body language from the students lacked a bit of energy. The workshop ran after an hour of fashion maths which the students may well have benefited from having a break from before commencing this workshop.
Solution(s):
1. Allowed for a slightly longer break between the previous topic.
2. Maybe changing up the workshop so that students worked together to make it more interactive?
What next for the students?
The students should continue developing their 3 x capsule fashion ranges. They should consider and analyse the balance within each of their ranges by using the fashion triangle/Boston matrix. Next week they will have a formative checkpoint where they will present their range plan for feedback. They should begin to verbally justify the balance of their ranges by referring to these templates e.g., showing newness/high fashion pieces versus basic/cash cow items.
Other things to consider next time I deliver this lecture?
Maybe positioning this type of activity after lunch as a fresh workshop rather than after such a heavy lecture may have seen the mood lifted?
Things that could help to improve the overall lesson delivery?
It would have been good to have got students to upload their filled in templates to Aula to share and check – However, in the time slot we had allocated for this session there just wasn’t the time. I was able to review most students’ outputs as I circulated the class and I will further be able to check their understanding at next week’s formatives.
