Learning and Interpretation Team (LIT)

2.5.1 Executive Summary LITs overall goal was to deliver an enjoyable learning experience and enable audiences to reflect on the international influence of homes in London by attending organised events such as the Family Days and the opening evening Global Homes. LIT engaged with multi-generational learning methods and provided a relevant and fun experience for all. LIT conducted research into different childrens activities and presented a proposal to the GM for activities in line with the At Home with the World exhibitions themes and objects. (see appendix 2.5.3) While it was not appropriate for LIT to address the projects communication messages during the Family Days activities as the Who Stole my Milk? exhibition had not yet opened, an arrangement that was outside of LITs control, LIT used the projects learning theories and overarching project value to guide their design of the Family Days activities. (see appendix 2.5.2) LIT conceptualised and organised the selected activities for the Family Days. The target audience for the Family Days was children aged 4 to 16 years old. By focusing on activities that appealed to multiple intelligences and did not rely heavily on high levels of verbal communication, LIT created activities that were effective with a diverse group of participants. LIT designed six different sessions for the Family Days: Explore Origami, Discover your East Asian Zodiac Animal, Games of the World, Draw to the Music, Time for a Cuppa?, and The World of Chopsticks. (see appendices 2.5.8 2.5.13) LIT volunteered at the half-term holiday session activities in order to better understand the context of educational sessions at the GM.

LIT conducted a risk assessment for the Family Days. (see appendix 2.5.5) LIT worked with AAT to draft an evaluation form for the Family Days which assessed the GSOs and GLOs that LIT had determined to be relevant to the planned activities. (see AAT project outcomes appendix 2.2.15)

LIT outlined the materials required for the Family Days and drafted a budget. (see appendix 2.5.6)

LIT wrote the copy for the activities they had designed for a flyer of the Family Days. (see appendix 2.5.4)

LIT provided activity outlines and historical and social research to the Freelancers for the Family Days. LIT communicated with the Freelancers before the Family Days by e-mail and in meetings. (see appendices 2.5.7)

LIT worked closely with the Freelancer who designed Time for a Cuppa, meeting with her multiple times in order to provide historical information and to ensure that the session incorporated activities that appealed to multiple senses.

LIT recruited volunteers among the projects team members to assist the families participating in the different activities.

LIT designed four Rice Characters for the World of Chopsticks activity during the Family Days. (see appendix 2.5.10)

LIT prepared stickers for session participants to facilitate the registration, designed signage to give people information on session times and venues (see appendix 2.5.14), Time for a Cuppa posters, songs needed for the Time for a Cuppa story, examples of Eastern zodiac figures (see appendix 2.5.11), object bingo game boards (see appendix 2.5.12), a large world map of rice cultivation, and rice characters printed and laminated.

UCL Student Homes Project 2012

LIT manned a stall at the GM during the Family Days encouraging visitors to sign up and participate in the different activities.

During the Family Days at the GM, LIT took the lead in the World of Chopsticks activity. (see appendix 2.5.9)

LIT attended regular meetings with their GM counterpart. LIT organised an opening evening Global Homes aimed at an adult audience. The event was designed to appeal to both the projects primary target audience as well as the core GM audience.

LIT designed Global Homes to convey the projects communication messages and utilize the projects chosen learning theories. LIT designed the activities to be enjoyable, evocative of memories of living as a student, and to emphasize the importance of communication in creating peaceful living. (see appendix 2.5.15)

LIT designed five activities for Global Homes: a live band playing hits from the 1970s through to the 2000s, Exhibition Talk: At Home with the World, Exhibition Talk: Who Stole my Milk?, Communication Breakdown!, The World of Chopsticks, and Collage your World.

LIT polled project team members, fans of the Geffryes Young Peoples Facebook page, and fans of the main GM Facebook page in order to gain evocative song suggestions for the band. LIT passed these on to the band. (see appendix 2.5.18)

LIT recruited project team members to volunteer at Global Homes. LIT also recruited project team members from ET and DSHT to lead a talk on the development of the Exhibition Talk: Who Stole my Milk?.

LIT prepared research for the facilitators of Collage your World and Communication Breakdown! (see appendix 2.5.17)

UCL Student Homes Project 2012

LIT facilitated The World of Chopsticks at Global Homes with an amended script from the Family Days session.

LIT facilitated workshops from the Family Days and Global Homes at PITs private view event.

LIT was the only project team without a native English speaker. Inter-team communication was not a problem as both team members spoke Korean. Communicating in English in written form or in public presentations, however, posed significant self-reported challenges for LIT and required a great deal of preparation on their part. This did not affect the quality of their deliverables; in fact, their contribution to the project was enhanced by the particular viewpoints and experiences that they brought to the project, most specifically in their design and facilitation of the World of Chopsticks.

USE OF LEARNING THEORIES FOR FAMILY DAYS

GSOs and GLOs for Family Days


As the Family Days related specifically to At Home With The World and targeted an audience composed of parents, carers, and children aged 6-16, some of the GLOs and GSOs targeted by the Family Days were slightly different than those pursued by the rest of the project, though all goals fit into the over-arching project value of promoting cultural exchange and dialogue about international influences on homes and lives in London 2012. First Tier GLO 1. Enjoyment, Inspiration, Creativity 2. Attitudes and Values, Opinions or Attitudes towards other people Increased capacity for tolerance Second Tier GLO Having fun Family Days Components All activities were crafted so as to be enjoyable and fun for participants from a variety of age groups. Children and families were invited to discover how common items and foods have come from many parts of the world; they were also introduced to other items, foods and customs that they may not have encountered before. 3. Enjoyment, Inspiration, Having innovative thoughts Whether the session consisted of storytelling or craft making, all contained a component We got to be creative and/or

FAMILY DAYS - TIME FOR A CUPPA - SCRIPT

Note: this is the work of the facilitator who led Time for a Cuppa. It is based off of research and direction provided by LIT through written and verbal communication. Tucked away down an old street, in an old Laminated A4 sign for the shop town in England, was an old shop. And in the old shop there were stacks and stacks of old cups and saucers, and old plates and pots. The shop was called The Three Pots. The inside the shop was wonderfully full from floor to ceiling - of sturdy-looking shelves. And on the shelves was stacked old crockery and porcelain of every kind cups and saucers, plates and mugs. All of plates and saucers and cups and mugs jostled for attention, trying to look their best - so as to be chosen by the browsing customers and the tourists that often popped into the shop to see its newest acquisitions, perhaps to pick up a bargain set of cups and saucers; it was a wonderfully quaint, and very English, place to be... The shop fronts wonderful bay window Three pots on display. Tablecloth and/or fire always had an attractive display to entice guard, vase of flowers. the visitors inside; an antique tablecloth upon which vases of flowers were placed and the shops famous three pots stood not for sale, just for display only. They saw the seasons change and the displays change with it through the seasons Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. One teapot, one coffee pot and one chocolate pot posing proudly to the passersby. At midnight, when the shop was closed, the three pots woke up and began their jobs. They were always giving the cups and saucers advice as to how best display

themselves, how best to be admired and of course how to be bought. Tea Pot like Mrs Potts a warm and kindly have a cup of tea dearie housekeeper. Come on dear, sit up nicely and put your handle like so. Thats right now youre looking marvellous. Coffee Pot like Roald Dahl a tall and intellectual ideas-man classy. Try to show your full potential. If you are one of a set make that your asset. If you are a one-off then try to look your most individual. If you have a chip do not hide it, wear it proudly it shows you have been loved. Chocolate Pot a youngster, fun and enthusiastic full of froth. Arrange yourselves in a fun and eyecatching way. Try something new how about upside down? Stacked sideways? Or mismatched? What fun! Every time a cup or a whole set of crockery was bought by a customer, each pot felt it was their help that had counted, and there was much celebration. Yes, they were friends, they were family really but each pot thought they were the best. And the most English. One day a poster appeared in the Three Pots shop window it caused great excitement amongst the cups, saucers and pots. This is what it said: TOWN CELEBRATION

Use audience as cups and saucers Im a little teapot Short and stout Heres my handle, heres my spout. When the kettle boils youll hear me shout. Tip me up and pour me out. Im a shiny coffee pot Proud and tall I make all the other pots seem so small Ground coffee beans are brewed in me Ill make you perk up more than tea.

STREET PARTY Saturday June 4th from 2pm Supported by The Three Pots Have Fun! Dance! And have the best cuppa in town! A party? A street party? The best cuppa in town? How exciting! The three pots began discussing the party and how wonderful it was going to be. But of course each pot thought that they would be chosen for the party - to make the best cuppa in town. They each boasted about their drinks popularity and Englishness. Mrs Teapot first: Ooo its got to be me chosen to make the Best Cuppa in Town. Everybody knows I am the English cuppa. Theres nothing better than a nice cup of tea is there, dearie. I must make sure I look my best. And as she got ready she sang her song: Im a little teapot short and stout Heres my handle Heres my spout When the kettle boils youll hear me shout Tip me up and pour me out! Mr Coffee Pot said, You are rather short and stout, Mrs Tea Pot. Now, just look how tall and important looking I am. Everybody knows that coffee is the best wake-up drink in England. I am certain I shall be chosen to make the best cuppa at the party. Now, I must prepare. And as he got ready he sang his song:
UCL Student Homes Project 2012 Page 237

Im a shiny coffee pot Proud and tall I make all the other pots seem so small Ground coffee beans are brewed in me Ill make you perk up more than tea! Not so fast, said Miss chocolate pot, Have you forgotten about the cosy, sweet, creamy, dreamy drink I make? Theres nothing more English than a nice hot cup of cocoa. Im sure I shall be chosen to make the best cuppa at the party. And as she got ready for the party she sang her little song. Im a lovely chocolate pot Round and squat Powdered cocoa and milk thats hot Twirl and twirl and swirl till its Frothy and light. Cocoa is the cuppa that tastes just right. The pots barely said goodnight to each other they were so pre-occupied about thinking how they were best suited to the party how each was most English. But gradually the shop did fall silent, the crockery on the shelves slept and one by one, the three pots drifted off to sleep too. That night, as they slept, the boastful pots were each visited by a mysterious figure. Mrs Tea Pot was visited by a voice from Ancient China Mr Coffee Pot was visited by a voice from 15th century Turkey Miss Chocolate Pot was visited by a voice from Ancient Central America Firstly, the Chinese voice came to Mrs Teapot and said:

Help them to say the verse Little Pot? Little Pot? Listen to me! You think tea is English no! Just you wait and see. Ill tell you where tea came from And how it came to be The popular English drink today By travelling cross the sea. Legend has it that over 4000 years ago a Chinese Emperor Shen Nung Shi first discovered the delights of drinking tea. Apparently his water was always boiled before he drank it and some leaves from a nearby bush (a tea plant) blew into his water. Give them the instrument to play the instrument while we act out the scene First: the Chinese figure

Choose three children to act out this scene Emperor Servant Tree A leaf (piece of tissue paper) A tea bowl

Hand round tea leaves and tea brick The voice from Ancient China continued its story of how tea was soon thought of by many in China as a healthy, refreshing drink and 2000 years ago it Chinas national drink. Chinese farmers began cultivating tea plants, rather than harvesting leaves from wild trees. Tea leaves were generally dried and roasted and sometimes made into cakes which were pounded into small pieces and placed in a china pot. After adding boiling water. About 1000 years later tea was grown and drunk in Japan too and was elevated to an art form with the creation of the Japanese tea ceremony which is still carried out today. Tea was believed to

solve your worries and was important for your health. It wasnt for another 500 years that tea would be brought back by travelling European merchants to England. Tea had thousands of years of history in China before England EVER knew about it. And with that, the Ancient Chinese voice faded away as Mrs Teapot continued to sleep. Mr Coffee Pot also had a dream that night... Shiny Pot? Shiny Pot? Listen to me! You think coffee is English no! Just you wait and see. Ill tell you where the coffees from And how it came to be A popular English drink today By travelling cross the sea. 700 years ago the coffee tree only grew far away in Africa in Ethiopia. Yemenite Sufi travelling in Ethiopia observed birds of unusual vitality who ate the berries from the tree, and upon trying the berries himself, experienced the same vitality. Another tells of a goat-herd Kaldi who noticing the energizing effect when his flock nibbled in the bright red berries of a certain bush, chewed on the fruit himself. His exhilaration prompted him to bring them to a holy man, but he disapproved and threw them into the fire. This of course roasted the beans and an enticing aroma billowed and many more holy men came. The roasted beans were quickly raked from the embers, ground up and dissolved into hot water.

Growing coffee plants and roasting then dissolving the ground beans started in Africa and in the Sufi monasteries of the Yemen in southern Arabia. Coffee drinking spread to Egypt and North Africa and by the 16th century it had reached the rest of the Middle East, Persia and Turkey. It was drunk in noisy market places, in coffee houses where people gathered to talk and play chess. It was well established as a drink here for hundreds of years before it was popular in England at around the same time as tea was introduced. The voice faded away Lovely Pot? Lovely Pot? Listen to me! You think chocolate is English no! Just you wait and see. Ill tell you where chocolates from And how it came to be The popular English drink today By travelling cross the sea.
Monkeys were the first to find the cacao plant edible and delectable, not man. In the hottest parts central America, these brightly coloured, rugby ball-shaped pods hung off trees, begging to be picked. Monkeys learned of the sweet, refreshing pulp concealed within the thick pod. Ancient man followed their example, picking the fruit off trees as they walked past. The sweet pulp of the cacao pod tasted like apricots or melons. But the beansor seedsin the core of the pulp were bitter and seemingly inedible. The monkeys would eat the pulp and spit out the beans. Ancient people followed the monkeys example, and only ate the delicious pulp. This was probably what Mother Nature had in mind: the seeds were disseminated throughout Central America.

The Mayans, during the Mayan Classic Age (300-900 A.D.) were the first true chocolate aficionados, treasuring cacao as a restorative, mood-enhancing cure-all. It became an integral part of their society, used in ceremonies, given as gifts and incorporated into their mythologies. The beans were ground into a coarse paste and mixed with spices, water and chilies to create a variety of hot and cold frothy, bitter drinks. Over the next 1, 500 years chocolate became the drink for the nobles and rich in Central America. The huge society of the Aztecs King, King Montezuma was thought to have drunk 50 cups a day. The cocoa beans were used as currency too. The foam was believed to hold chocolates fundamental essence, and the ritual of creating the foam is seen in Aztec artwork.

At this point, chocolate was still a bitter.

Columbus likely was the first European to discover cacao beans but it took some time before Europe discovered chocolate when Cortes arrived there his conquest of the Aztecs and Mexico.
He who drinks a cup of this liquid, no matter how far he walks, can go a whole day without eating anything else. After the Spanish conquered the Aztecs and began building settlements in the New World, they adapted many of the dining habits of the natives, including chocolate by adding sugar and the Spanish settlers, after some experimentation, began drinking chocolate hot and sweet.

All instruments played to wake up the pots!

Coffee, tea and chocolate all arrived in England at around the same time: coffee from Africa, tea from Asia and chocolate from America). Hot chocolate was served in chocolate houses, Forerunners of English pubs, chocolate houses were places where politics were discussed and debated. While chocolate was more expensive than coffee, tea was the costliest of the three. And all three beverages were usually served up with loads of sugar. Tea was the drink to have at home. They were the NEW hot drinks from all around the globe. The shutters suddenly opened and the sunlight rushed into the The Three Pots shop. It was the morning of the party. Each had been so touched by their story, their history of how they had come to be where they were born that they no longer minded if they were chosen to make the best cuppa in town. They knew they were Pots of History, Pots of Integrity and Pots of Importance, and Pots that now contained their stories of the world within them. It was time for the shop keeper to choose which pot would make the best cuppa for the party. He reached for Mrs Tea Pot, lovingly held it, then took off the lid and took a long sniff, Instead of the usual tea smell that reminded him of tinkling tea cups, bacon for breakfast and afternoon cake the whole room filled with the exotic aromas of places hed never been the soft rainy hills of Ancient China and Japan - of calm ceremony and steam and green. Memories from before his time of busy Chinese ports the hustle and bustle and

Memories from before his time of noisy, chatty coffeehouses in Turkey, and games of chess. It was overwhelmingly exotic. And definitely not English. And so the shop keeper knew he had to choose all three pots to make the best cuppa in town. They were all such old drinks that had come from so far away across the sea, and each had arrived in England at around the same time. How could he choose between them? Coffee Pot, Tea Pot and Chocolate Pot had never been more proud of themselves. And of each other. They would never forget their stories of where they were born that the ancient voices had brought them in their dreams that night.

FAMILY DAYS - WORLD OF CHOPSTICKS - SCRIPT The World of Chopsticks

1.Make chopstick rests with Fimo: It takes about 20 minutes to be baked. (20 mins)-Phoebe lead 2.Present rice cultivated regions and its environmental surroundings to explain difference of strains by world map and raw grains. (5 mins) -As a cereal grain, rice is one of the most important foods for a large part of the worlds population, especially in Asia and the West India. Rice is the third-highest world-wide production after corn and wheat. (Rice photo Indica & Japonica) There are 2 kinds of rice in the world, Japonica & Indica. Japonica is shorter and more sticky than indica. Indica is long and not sticky. Do you know why indica is longer than Japonica? To grow rice, water and sunshine is needed. Normally rice grows once a year but some tropical areas harvest twice a year because of lots of rainfall and long hours of sunshine. Indica grows in tropical areas because there is plenty of water and sunshine. So indica is longer because it grows faster. (Show Map) This is the World map and this square shows the rice production. Rice is originally from Asia and certain parts of Africa but many years of trade have made it common in many countries in the world such as Europe and America. However, China and India are still responsible for nearly half of the worlds output. There are many varieties of rice; the main differences are long, medium and shortgrain rice. The grains of long-grain rice tend to remain intact after cooking; medium
UCL Student Homes Project Page 246

grain rice becomes more sticky. Medium-grain rice is used for sweet dishes, for example, risotto in Italy. A stickier medium-grain rice make the rice maintain a solid shape so it is used for sushi. 3.Demonstrate rice cooking. (5 mins) Rice is cooked by boiling or steaming, and absorbs water during cooking. It can be cooked in just as much water as it absorbs, or in a large quantity of water which is drained before serving. Electric rice cookers are popular in Asia and Latin America and simplify the process of cooking rice. Rice is sometimes quickly fried in oil or fat before boiling like risotto. This method makes the cooked rice less sticky. There are many ways to cook rice but I will introduce you the basic way. Here are some Tips for cooking rice well Purchase good quality rice for a good quality outcome. Old rice will not produce a tasty or light a meal as fresher rice. Rice can be cooked in water, stock or milk to change its flavour during cooking. Rinsing rice helps get rid of any starch and impurities. Rinse until the water is clear and not cloudy. For every cup of long grain rice, add 1 1/2 cups water. Bring the rice to a boil, uncovered, at medium heat. When the rice is boiling, turn the heat down to medium low. Place the lid on the pot, tilting it to allow steam to escape. After the rice has been cooking for a few minutes, check for holes or "craters." When you can see the holes or craters, put the lid on tight. Turn the heat down to low. Simmer the covered rice for another 15 minutes. Fluff it up with a fork and serve

hot. 4.Give information about 3 kinds of chopsticks during the time for rice cooking. (5 mins) During the rice cooking I will tell you the difference between 3 chopsticks. These are chopsticks from three different countries China, Japan and Korea. Guess, where these chopsticks come from? Yes, this pair of chopsticks is from China. Have you ever thought about Why Chinese chopsticks are longer than others? It is because of the population in China. Now there are 1,300,000,000 Chinese in the world. So when they have a meal its with a big family and its difficult to prepare lots of individual portions. Therefore they prepare big plates of food and share it. (Chinese photo) But on this big table, it is very hard to reach their arms to the food in the middle of the table. So they use long chopsticks to reach and pick up food up easily. Then, Do you know why Japanese chopsticks are shorter than Chinese ones? (Waiting answer) Look at this photo(Japanese Table). It is a basic meal for one person in Japan. Japanese people have their own portion in front of them and they dont share, so they dont need long chopsticks. But look at this. Japanese chopsticks are pointed. Why is this part sharp? Because, Japan is an island so they have plenty of seafood. Fish has bones and people need to remove the bones before eating. Pointed chopsticks help to remove bones easily. Then why Korean chopsticks are longer than Japanese ones but shorter than Chinese chopsticks?
UCL Student Homes Project Page 248

Look at this picture (Korean Table) It is a basic Korean style meal table. Each Korean has their own soup and rice. But they share side dishes. Therefore Korean chopsticks reflect these two characteristics sharing and having individual portions. Why Korean chopsticks are made of metal? It is heavier than wooden chopsticks. It is because of giving more power. Koreans eat both very solid food and very soft food so they need to have delicate control. Metal chopsticks make this possible. Metal delivers power to the end of the chopsticks. 5.Give instruction how to use chopsticks. (5 mins) Weve learnt the differences between three chopsticks. From now on we will learn how to use chopsticks. Even if many people all over the world enjoy Asian food and have many chances to use chopsticks but not many people know how to use chopsticks. I will tell you the proper way of using chopsticks. Look at this picture. It is the standard way. (Show hand with chopsticks picture) Place stick between thumb and index finger and rest your chopsticks on the ring finger of your right or left hand. Place stick between thumb and index finger and rest your chopsticks on the middle finger. Hold first chopstick still and move the top one up and down. Now you can pick up anything!! 6.Exercise using chopsticks by sorting out different size of beans.(Cooperation with family members is needed) (15 mins) Its time to practice. We prepared many different size of beans in one bowl. You will be given cups. Please sort out beans and put it in to the cups using your chopsticks. Please do not eat the beans!
UCL Student Homes Project Page 249

7.Ready 4-5 kinds stations to serve cooked rice during chopstick challenge with beans (5 m) 8.Taste rice with chopsticks at the separate stations. (distribute new pairs for hygienic purpose) (10 mins) Its time to taste 4 different kinds of rice using chopsticks. Use new chopsticks and taste it. We prepared indica, japonica rice, brown and black rice. Brown rice is less polished. If fully polished rice will be white. Brown rice is better for you but its harder than white rice so it takes your stomach longer to breakdown. Black rice is one of different varieties rice. Just 10% of black rice make 90% of white rice black so when you cook black rice just 10 % of black rice is enough. 9.Distribute baked participants' own chopstick rest. (10 mins) The chopsticks rest which you made at the beginning is baked. We will give out your chopstick rest and lets try to put your chopsticks on your chopsticks rest. 10.If time allows, let people to explain the meaning of their art works (10 mins) Lets talk about your chopstick rest to each other. Why did you make that shape/pattern? And talk about how do you think about The World of Chopsticks session Did you enjoy? What have you learnt from the session?
