Finding Out Ongoing Assessment and Notes to the Teacher<br />
Invite a parent or member of the local school<br />
community involved in fundraising to speak to the<br />
class. The person may raise funds <strong>for</strong>:<br />
• the school,<br />
• a sporting club,<br />
• a community group,<br />
• a church group etc.<br />
Students could ask:<br />
• Is it easy to make money <strong>for</strong> the charity?<br />
• How do you raise money?<br />
• Why do you work <strong>for</strong> a charity?<br />
• How does it make you feel?<br />
• Do you have any tips on how our class could<br />
best raise money?<br />
Guiding Question:<br />
How could our class make money?<br />
Ask students to list the ways they have seen other<br />
groups raise funds. For example, entry fee <strong>for</strong><br />
colouring competition, sausage sizzle, car wash,<br />
cake stall, raffle, guess the number of lollies in<br />
the jar, coin drive competition between each<br />
class, silent auction, casual clothes day etc.<br />
As a class make a list of the top 5 ideas.<br />
Students can either:<br />
1. In groups apply the Plus Minus Interesting<br />
(PMI) technique to the top 5 fundraising<br />
ideas. Groups can then share their PMI<br />
reports.<br />
Dance-a-thon Car Wash<br />
PLUS MINUS INTERESTING<br />
Fun, Teachers<br />
and parents<br />
would pay<br />
We have a<br />
school hall to<br />
use<br />
School doesn’t<br />
have buckets,<br />
car wash<br />
detergent<br />
Not everyone<br />
likes dancing.<br />
We could<br />
work in teams<br />
to wash cars<br />
quickly.<br />
We could<br />
teach<br />
everyone<br />
dance steps.<br />
2. Develop a survey which asks respondents<br />
(students, teachers, parents) their preferred<br />
fundraising event.<br />
Assess students’ ability to <strong>for</strong>mulate<br />
appropriate questions <strong>for</strong> the classroom<br />
visitor.<br />
Students will:<br />
• ask questions and listen to responses<br />
• construct questions by building on responses<br />
given, that will extend them further in their<br />
fundraising investigations<br />
• record in<strong>for</strong>mation accurately.<br />
To generate fundraising ideas, visit http://www.<br />
fundraisingideas.com.au/fundraisingideas.htm<br />
Suggestions include a class cookbook design,<br />
silent auction, and the “guess the lolly”<br />
competitions.<br />
To further extend the students’ fundraising ideas<br />
use the “Random Letter technique”. Randomly<br />
select a letter from the alphabet and encourage the<br />
class to think of fundraising ideas which link<br />
to that letter. For example, letter D - dancing<br />
competition, dog parade, donkey rides etc.<br />
