Students rotate through a gallery of park photos, sample treasure maps, transformed logos, and a short client brief about redesigning an underused park area. The class annotates what makes a space clear, safe, inviting, or confusing using sticky notes and then sorts observations into needs, users, and possible constraints. The teacher closes with a mini-lesson on the difference between a problem statement and a solution idea using a shared anchor chart.
