Retrieval Quiz

Arrival Task – What Do You Already Know?

1. Say it

What does a green space need?

Any honest answer counts — say it out loud.

2. Spot it

Big or small — what fits the site?

Any honest answer counts — say it out loud.

3. Point to it

Point to a feature a site might need.

Any honest answer counts — say it out loud.

1. The big idea

What does 'Good design meets a real need.' mean in your own words?

Own words — one honest sentence.

2. Today's work

Today is 'The Site's Need' — what the design must meet. What do you think we'll be doing?

A sensible prediction — we check it at the end.

3. Success check

By the end you should be able to say: 'I can describe what our site actually needs.' What will that take today?

Name one thing you’ll need to do or try.

1. Observe

What's the difference between what a site LOOKS like it needs and what its USERS say it needs?

Looks can mislead — the users know the wind corner, the flooding spot, what got vandalised.

2. Translate

Turn 'the site is exposed and windy' into a design requirement for our build.

E.g. 'the planter must be heavy/anchored enough not to blow or tip' — need → measurable requirement.

3. Rank

Two needs conflict — pretty versus sturdy. How does a real designer decide?

Sturdy first: an asset that fails serves nobody — then make sturdy as pretty as budget allows.

I Do

The Model — The Site's Need

Key Idea: Good design meets a real need.

👀 Look: look properly first — the site tells you what it needs.

Step 0 of 3

Finding out what the site and its users need.

Finding the need means looking and asking: photos of the site, words from its users. Evidence beats assumption every time.

Turning a need into a design requirement.

A requirement is a need made testable — 'must survive wind', 'must be low enough for wheelchair users'. If you can't check it, it isn't a requirement yet.

Checking our idea fits the space.

Checking fit is holding our idea against the space: the size, the ground, the access. A brilliant design that doesn't fit the site is a mistake with good handwriting.

Proving It — The Evidence Loop

Key Idea: Launch extension: one written line — the one thing our design must get right, or it isn't worth building.

Step 0 of 3

Documentarian

photo the needs list.

Annotate

'our design must ___'.

Witness

staff tick 'identified a site need', sign.

For the moderator, not just the folder

A tick says it happened. A witness statement says what you did. Before the photo is filed, the adult writes one sentence naming the thing they actually saw you do — and rings whether you did it Supported, Standard or Stretch.

That ring is the part that counts. It is the difference between “the class did this” and “this candidate did it, at this level, with this much help.” The witness sheet prints with every pack.

Independent Work

Independent Work — Studio Time

Instructions: Work at your level. Evidence goes in your ASDAN portfolio — Documentarian photo + annotation + witness tick — ASDAN/UAS community evidence.

🤝 With support

Task: Match the site-need cards to our asset — one pair is done as a worked example — then move your MUST-HAVE card to the top.

Steps: One step at a time — adult support is right there. Photo when you’re proud of it.

👤 On your own

Task: List the site's needs from the photos, then agree two requirements our design must meet.

Steps: Work the task through — photo as you go, annotate at the end, witness tick before you pack up.

🚀 Take it further

Task: List the site's needs from the photos, then agree two requirements our design must meet. Stretch: rank the site's needs — which one matters most, and to whom?

Steps: Task first, stretch second — and your annotation should explain the why, not just the what.

Lundy Loop

Lundy Loop — Your Voice on the Wall

Why: Article 12 — your view counts here, and it genuinely changes what happens next.

🚪 SPACE

The Project Board is a real-stakes space — our partner sees it — but it's still safe: nothing goes up without your say-so, and 'pass' is allowed.

📣 VOICE

Say one thing the site needs that the photos do not show.

👥 AUDIENCE

The partner sees what we noticed — noticing well is how a project earns trust.

⭐ INFLUENCE

The needs you pin become the design requirements. They decide the shape of the build.

Instructions: Answer independently. Own words — no wall-peeking.

1.

I can describe what our site actually needs — true for you today? Say how.

Point to today’s work as your proof.

2.

I can back a need with something we observed — true for you today? Say how.

What does 'Good design meets a real need.' mean now the lesson’s done?

Own words + one example from today.

2.

What did you actually make or do today — and which bit are you proudest of?

List the site's needs from the photos, then agree two requirements our design must meet.

3.

Where does today’s evidence bank?

ASDAN/UAS community evidence

1.

Write a requirement that SOUNDS good but can't be tested. Then fix it.

E.g. 'must be nice' → 'must be painted and labelled so visitors know its purpose'.

2.

Whose need matters most when users, partner and wildlife disagree? Defend your call.

Own defended ranking — usually the partner, who maintains it longest.

3.

What did the site tell you that no one in the room predicted?

Own observation — the value of looking over assuming.

We Do 1: Match it up

Planter, Wildlife box, Bench, Sign

Scaffolding – Supported

Access & sensory notes (staff)
· The supported task today is: Match the site-need cards to our asset — one pair is done as a worked example — then move your MUST-HAVE card to the top.
· Fine motor: offer the chunky-grip pen, and accept a card sort or a spoken answer scribed by an adult — the judgement is the evidence, not the handwriting.
· Sensory: Anything off-site or on a walk is the loud part. Ear defenders out before you leave the room, not after — and whoever needs it goes in the first pair, before group noise builds.
· Cognitive load: a completed small piece beats a half-done large one at moderation. Cut the target, never the thinking.
· Ring the level honestly on the witness sheet. Supported with the work finished is a stronger portfolio entry than Standard with it abandoned.

Lundy Loop — this lesson

Space → Voice → Audience → Influence. The adult’s first job is Space: regulate before you educate.

Space	The Project Board is a real-stakes space — our partner sees it — but it's still safe: nothing goes up without your say-so, and 'pass' is allowed.
Voice	Say one thing the site needs that the photos do not show.
Audience	The partner sees what we noticed — noticing well is how a project earns trust.
Influence	The needs you pin become the design requirements. They decide the shape of the build.

Closing the loop: out loud, as a class, is enough here. Any inclusion counts — a nod, a word, a pointed finger. If a pupil wants theirs written down, an adult scribes it in their words. Pass is always allowed.
