TUTOR:  Right. Are we all here? OK. As you know, today Vivien is going to do a            【Example】
         presentation on the hat-making project she did with her class during her last
        teaching practice. So, over to you, Vivien.
VIVIEN:  Thanks. Um... Mr Yardley has asked me to describe to you the project I did as
          a student teacher at a secondary school in London. I was at this school for six      【Q31】
          weeks and I taught a variety of subjects to a class of fourteen-year-old pupils.     【Q32】
          The project I chose to do was a hat-making project and I think this project
          could easily be adapted to suit any age. So, to explain the project...
          After we’d done the research, we went back to the classroom to make two
          basic hat shapes using rolls of old wallpaper. We each made, first of all, a
          conical hat by... er... if I show you now.., cutting out a circle and then         【Q33】
          making one cut up to the centre and then.., er... overlapping the cut like this
          this.., a conical hat that sits on your head. The other hat we made was a little
          more complicated.., er... first of all we cut out a circle again.., like this...
          then you need a long piece with flaps on it - I’ve already made that bit which I
          have here - you bend the flaps over and stick them.., with glue or prittstick...    【Q34】
          to the underside of the circle.., like this. Again, I’ve prepared this so that I
          don’t get glue everywhere. The pupils do, of course, so you need plenty of covers
          for the table. And there you have a pillbox hat as in pill and box. Now variations
          and combinations of these two hat shapes formed the basis of the pupils’ final
          designs.

         The next stage of the project was the design phase and this involved, first of all,    【Q35】
          using their pages of research to draw a design of their hat on paper. That’s the
          easy part. They then had to translate their two-dimensional design into a form
          to fit their head. I encouraged them to make a small-scale, three-dimensional        【Q36】
          hat first so that they could experiment with how to achieve the form they
          required and I imposed certain constraints on them to keep things simple. For
         example, they had to use paper not card. Paper is more pliable and easier to
          handle. They also had to limit their colours to white, grey or brown shades of      【Q37】
          paper which reflected the colours of the buildings they were using as a model
          for their hats and they had to make sure their glue didn’t show!
             Well, it was very enjoyable and just to give you an idea of what they
          produced, I’ve brought along three hats to show you. This one here is based on     【Q38】
          a circular stairway in an old building in London. It uses three pillbox hats one
          on top of the other. This was designed by Theresa. Here’s another one that has     【Q39】
          a simple strip going round the base of the hat but has then gone on to add strips
         of paper that come out from the base and that meet at the top of the hat -
         rather like a crown  making a fairly tall hat. This was made by Muriel. And
         lastly there’s a combination of the pillbox or single strip around the base and      【Q40】
         then the conical hat shape on top to form a castle turret. This was made by
         Fabrice, and there are many more that I could have brought.
TUTOR:  Thank you, Vivien. That was most interesting. Now what we can learn from this
         is that...
