Hello everyone, welcome back to my fourth blog post! Here is our update. After emailing back and forth with the school that agreed to work with us, my group and I finally set up a meeting with one of the teachers to get her opinion on our project. We wanted to learn more about her students and get advice to make our plan better. During our meeting, we explained our overall idea and asked her for tips on how to make it more effective. For example, we asked how much the students already knew about first aid and whether they found it interesting. She told us that they had learned about it before and really enjoyed it. She even gave us a booklet showing which topics they had already covered. The teacher suggested that we keep our presentation fun and engaging since students often lose focus quickly if the lesson gets boring.
We also found helpful websites like Standard First Aid and CPR Course – Canadian Red Cross and Coquitlam | Metro Vancouver | Red Cross First Aid & CPR Training. These sites give us extra information that we can include in our project to make it more accurate and detailed.
One big success we’ve had is learning how to work well as a team. Finding a time when all three of us could meet was hard, so we decided to communicate digitally and plan when each of us would be ready to share updates. When we finally met, everyone came prepared, and the meeting went smoothly. We all shared ideas and supported each other when someone needed help. These ideas helped us think bigger and plan for the future together. Even in little things, such as questions for our blog post and ways to make our blog post sound better!
A challenge we faced was finding a good time to do our actual presentation. Since we don’t share the same free blocks, we planned to present during “I Week” or on a professional development day so we wouldn’t have to miss class. Working around everyone’s schedules took time, but we managed to find a solution that worked for all of us.
Our next step is to start creating our presentation. We plan to make it fun by adding catchy lyrics or rhythms that will help the kids remember important first aid tips. We believe this will make our project more engaging and help our lesson truly stick with the students.
For reference, the Canadian Red Cross website is our main source for accurate and helpful first aid information, and it’s guiding us as we build our presentation.
