Only 1 mark! Class presentation (in groups)
Brief:
You will be working in groups of 3, on the following scenario:
One of you will first act as someone who has a physical problem (e.g.: backache when cycling). He/she will be precisely describing the pain he/she may feel and the discomfort of his/her position and situation, as he/she is seeking for help. Recommendation: film that part of your work.
-> Then the whole team (including the member who acted as the person who suffers from the discomfort) are ergonomists who will try :
1. To assess why the pain occurs (as well as when, and where it comes from) (-> observation stage)
2. Explain/describe the problem, giving very precise details (such as measurements > see seminars 3-4-5, insisting on its bad cosnequences (-> assessment stage)
3. Work out on a solution to solve it and make recommendations (-> recommendation stage)
Each one of you will have to make these observations, assessment and recommendations.
This is fiction: it does not matter to me if the problem and the solution are unrealistic – this is an English class, I am not a physiotherapist or an ergonomist!
IMPORTANT: No reading while presenting please. You are allowed to use cue cards, but nothing more than that.
