Practice Your Skills
John was told by his boss four weeks ago that
he would have to do a big presentation at
work. The presentation needed to be prepared
in addition to a number of regular daily tasks.
He focused on his daily tasks and did a good
job completing them but the presentation kept
"slipping" his mind. On the night before the
due date of the presentation, he realized that he
had at least 8-10 hours' worth of work left to do
on the presentation. This wasn't the first time he
had procrastinated on a major work assignment
and left it until the last minute. Last year he
received a note on his personal file for a similar
situation.
• What steps can
John take to
implement and
evaluate the
solution?
Milestone 60
Engage with others
to achieve a shared
outcome.

Editor's Notes

  1. If possible show a short video clip from the television show Lost or the movie Castaway to introduce this activity.  You can search for short clips on Youtube.
  2. You will need to collect a variety of recycled materials (two of each piece) for the learners to use.  You will also need staplers, glue, tape, etc.  Learners are asked to build a bridge in 20 minutes. However you can modify the activity to suit the materials available and your needs.  For example, you may suggest building the strongest bridge.
  3. Point out that evaluation is a critical part of the problem-problem solving process as it helps you improve your skills.
  4. Discuss the steps of evaluation as related to Bloom’s Taxonomy.  This is one model to use when evaluating the problem-solving process.  Tell participants they will be doing an activity using the taxonomy.
  5. Discuss how John would implement and evaluate the solution as a group.
