Finding Out Ongoing Assessment and Notes to the Teacher Invite a parent or member of the local school community involved in fundraising to speak to the class. The person may raise funds for: • the school, • a sporting club, • a community group, • a church group etc. Students could ask: • Is it easy to make money for the charity? • How do you raise money? • Why do you work for a charity? • How does it make you feel? • Do you have any tips on how our class could best raise money? Guiding Question: How could our class make money? Ask students to list the ways they have seen other groups raise funds. For example, entry fee for colouring competition, sausage sizzle, car wash, cake stall, raffle, guess the number of lollies in the jar, coin drive competition between each class, silent auction, casual clothes day etc. As a class make a list of the top 5 ideas. Students can either: 1. In groups apply the Plus Minus Interesting (PMI) technique to the top 5 fundraising ideas. Groups can then share their PMI reports. Dance-a-thon Car Wash PLUS MINUS INTERESTING Fun, Teachers and parents would pay We have a school hall to use School doesn’t have buckets, car wash detergent Not everyone likes dancing. We could work in teams to wash cars quickly. We could teach everyone dance steps. 2. Develop a survey which asks respondents (students, teachers, parents) their preferred fundraising event. Assess students’ ability to formulate appropriate questions for the classroom visitor. Students will: • ask questions and listen to responses • construct questions by building on responses given, that will extend them further in their fundraising investigations • record information accurately. To generate fundraising ideas, visit http://www. fundraisingideas.com.au/fundraisingideas.htm Suggestions include a class cookbook design, silent auction, and the “guess the lolly” competitions. To further extend the students’ fundraising ideas use the “Random Letter technique”. Randomly select a letter from the alphabet and encourage the class to think of fundraising ideas which link to that letter. For example, letter D - dancing competition, dog parade, donkey rides etc. CONSUMER AFFAIRS VICTORIA NEED CONSUMER HELP? 1300 55 81 81 www.consumer.vic.gov.au 97
Who will we raise funds for? Students group possible recipients of their fundraising into local, national or international. Possible recipients could be for an international humanitarian crisis, a local charity, new sports equipment or be used to subsidise costs for a school camp. The class selects one (or more) recipients of their funds. If the recipient of the funds is an external organization, students can make contact with them to find out how the funds might be used. Ask the class: Assess students’ ability to: • use data-gathering techniques such as surveying members of the school community • use surveys purposefully and represent and interpret data in a simple data chart. Voting results for the preferred fundraising recipients could be represented visually such as a pie chart. In groups students can research a preferred charity and then “pitch” their charity to the class as being most in need of funds. Students should focus on how the charity would use the funds. Assess students’ ability to collect information from a variety of sources and present to peers. Sorting Out Ongoing Assessment and Notes to the Teacher • “Which fundraising activity will they undertake?” To help answer this students can reflect on: • their PMI report or • the market research or • the advice of the class visitor’s presentation or • the guiding principle for selecting a fund raising activity which is to raise the most money. Select a preferred fundraising activity. The best fundraising event ever! A creative way to organise the best possible fundraising event is to do a “reverse brainstorm”. “What would happen at the worst fundraising event ever?” For example: • No money was raised, in fact money was lost! • No one knew about it • The set-up expenses were so high that money raised did not cover costs • People thought the charity was not worthy Students then reverse their brainstorm ideas to begin planning for the best fundraising event ever. Explain that the money raised will first be used to cover expenses. Therefore it is important to keep expenses low to maximise profits. 98 CONSUMER AFFAIRS VICTORIA NEED CONSUMER HELP? 1300 55 81 81 www.consumer.vic.gov.au
