Learning Intention: To have confidence in new ideas
Text: What do you do with an idea?- Kobi
Yamada
Success Criteria: I know how ideas form / I know how to grow
an idea/ I can talk to people about what I think
|
Starter: With a partner think of an idea you once had that you acted on
that worked. Can you think of an idea you had that didn’t work? What’s the
best thing to do with a new idea?
|
Main: Read
“What to do with an idea”. After you have read the story, look at the first
few pages; why is the child walking away from the idea and why is it
following? When does the child start to change their mind? How can an idea
want “food and attention”? what’s happening in this bit of the story?
Why was the child afraid of
telling others about their idea? When
the others didn’t agree, what made the child persevere?
What
happens at the end of the story? How are the pictures different? Why are they
different? What has happened?

Discussion:
Show the class the
image of the women pilots from Brunei who flew a plane in to Saudi Arabia
(see below and for more info on the story see http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/royal-brunei-airlines-first-all-female-flight-deck-crew-lands-plane-in-saudi-arabia-where-women-are-a6931726.html
Discuss in
pairs- whose idea was that? What was the idea? What do you think people said
when the idea was first raised? What do you think changed to make the idea a
reality? What was the impact when the women landed the plane in Saudi Arabia?

Activity:
Write a
conversation between the three women pilots before they fly the plane to
Saudi Arabia. Their names are Captain Sharifah
Czarena Surainy Syed Hashim, Senior First Officer Dk Nadiah Pg Khashiem
and Senior First Officer Sariana Nordin. Have one of the women come up with
the idea, and continue the conversation. Show how even when not everyone
agrees at first, an idea can develop through discussion and dialogue..

Plenary: The idea said to the child, “It is
good to have the ability to see things differently.” – what does that mean?
Can you think of an example today where people see things differently or have
different views or opinions?
What ideas
have changed the world? Are wheels natural, or was a wheel someone’s idea? If
you could show people 50 years ago, an ipad, what would they think? Someone
had the idea and it grew and grew.
100 years
ago in the UK, women were not allowed to vote. How has that idea changed?
60 years
ago in the USA black people were not allowed to sit with white people on a
bus or drink from the same water fountain. How has that idea changed?
Today in
some countries around the world people face discrimination for being gay or
lesbian. Will that idea change? How?
