Year 9 learned about how fabric is produced, and they visited First Gawon Apparel garment factory. They saw the warehouse, where rolls of fabric are cut to size, and they saw the workhouse where the sewing is done. They asked lots of good questions, such as why it is mainly women working in the factory. When the learners got back to school they used scraps of material that we got from the factory to make new things (fabric art, bracelets, hairbands). They were able to guess the concept Big Idea during reflection time, and they could link the Big Idea to the their contemporary experiences, as they are coming to the end of their time and iCAN, and preparing to move forward.
