Feedback

The teacher will provide written feedback to students. Comments will inform them about such things as:

the strength of the argument to justify choices
their ability to explain the impact of the automobile on the individual, society and environments
their understanding of how designers consider ethical issues and future trends.

Future directions

Through this Activity students have developed knowledge and understanding of the automobile as an innovation and its impact on the individual, society and environments. This learning can be applied in further units and activities through their experiences in researching and accessing information, collaboration, their understanding of the work of designers and the impact of designers' work on individuals, society and environments.
