6 steps · 60 min| # | What teachers do |
|---|---|
| 1 | [10 min] Organize testing stations and assign roles for peer testers. Ensure each station has necessary tools and materials. |
| 2 | [45 min] Conduct testing of bow prototypes, evaluating tillering techniques and bow mechanics with peers and community partners. |
| 3 | [15 min] Gather feedback from testers, documenting observations and suggestions. |
| 4 | [20 min] Synthesize feedback and insights into a structured documentation format. |
| 5 | [30 min] Reflect on the testing outcomes, discussing personal insights gained. Strategize revisions for prototypes. |
| 6 | [20 min] Share key findings, justifications, and revision plans in a group presentation with peer feedback. |
Preparation (3 items)
- Arrange testing stations with necessary materials such as measuring tools, notebooks, and prototype bows.
- Coordinate with community partners to schedule their presence and input during the testing phase.
- Prepare feedback forms to capture detailed tester observations and suggestions.
Student-facing instructions
You will work in teams to test your bow prototypes using established testing stations. Collaborate with peer testers and community partners to evaluate tillering techniques and bow mechanics. Gather and document feedback during tests, then synthesize this information to guide prototype revisions. Reflect on the outcomes and present your findings, justifications, and revision plans.
