A warm, sunlit modern classroom captured in a candid documentary wide‑angle: four small, diverse student groups engaged in short project‑based tasks while a teacher circulates. One table is scattered with lunch containers, drink cups, a calculator, coins and an A4 poster covered in illegible cost sketches; another cluster leans over a micro‑garden with potted plants, a wilting leaf, magnifying glass and watering can as a student points and takes notes on a clipboard; a trio rehearses a one‑minute local news clip with a smartphone on a small tripod and a reader with a notebook; a fourth group arranges sticky notes on a flipchart while a peer presents. Shallow depth of field keeps hands and materials crisply detailed, natural daylight and warm tones highlight expressive, focused collaboration—no readable text, labels or logos visible.

Each task is appropriate for 30–60 minutes, requires minimal materials, and maps to clear learning goals.

  1. Math — “School Lunch Menu”
    • Group size: 3–4; Duration: 30–40 min
    • Problem: Your class budget for a healthy school lunch is $120 for 30 students. Design a two‑item meal (main + drink) that meets basic nutrition criteria and stays within budget. Show unit cost and total cost.
    • Output: One A4 poster with cost calculation and short nutrition justification.
    • Teacher role: prompt cost‑calculation steps, check for correct multiplication/division.
    • Skills targeted: arithmetic, reasoning, real‑life budgeting.
  2. Science — “Micro‑garden Rescue”
    • Group size: 3–5; Duration: 45–60 min
    • Problem: Your classroom micro‑garden is wilting. Diagnose likely causes from observation and design 2 quick corrective actions (one immediate, one for next week). Explain how you will measure success.
    • Output: Flipchart diagnostic map + 2‑step action plan with simple monitoring measure.
    • Materials: plant photos/samples, flipchart paper, markers.
    • Skills targeted: hypothesis generation, observation, experimental design.
  3. Language / Media — “Local News Short”
    • Group size: 3; Duration: 30–45 min
    • Problem: Create a 1‑minute video or two‑short‑paragraph news item about a local school issue (e.g., recycling bins). Include facts and two quotes (one interview simulated).
    • Output: Script + recorded clip or printed short article.
    • Skills targeted: concise writing, sourcing, media literacy.
  4. Civic (mini) — “School Rules: Fair or Not?”
    • Group size: 4; Duration: 30–40 min
    • Problem: A proposed rule bans phones at all times on campus. Decide whether it is fair and make a recommendation with two alternatives that balance safety, learning, and student rights.
    • Output: 5‑point recommendation (flipchart) and quick 1‑minute pitch.
    • Skills targeted: argumentation, civic reasoning, perspective taking.
