This is a four week unit plan titled Food & Fibre Production. The unit content and design compliments the content descriptors by means of class discussions, independent and collaborative work, researching, using ICT's such as concept maps, flowcharts, websites and digital storyboard software and design elements.
Students will develop knowledge of sequencing and the process of converting farm food & fibre products into a product suitable for retail sale, which is drawn from the content descriptor ACTDEK021. Students investigate and outline the various planning and production steps needed to produce a product from a food & fibre during this unit, which is drawn from an elaboration within ACTDEP028.

​
-
outlining the planning and production steps needed to produce a product, service or environment using digital technologies

Differentiation
​
Differentiation is considered and catered for throughout the unit plan with the aim to assist the learning process and maximise opportunities for student success (Churchill et al, 2011, p.226).
​
- Individual learning styles are met through the inclusion of a range of resources and activities that appeal to the verbal/linguistic (discussions), logical/mathematical (time lines), visual/spatial (flow charts, graphic representations, photography, digital storyboard), intrapersonal (project plan and priorities) and interpersonal (group work, think pair share) learners (Churchill et al, 2011, p.227).
​
- There are opportunities provided for small group, paired and whole class learning experiences, which allow for peer learning to occur.
