Task 9 — Group Gallery
Art comes to life when it is shared. Each group presents their voice — Historian, Critic or Creator — in 90 seconds. The class listens as an audience that recognises the value of the work.
Each group investigated, analysed or created. Now they share. And the class listens — not as judges, but as an audience that recognises the value of the work.
Group A — The Historian: tells the story they discovered, the movement, the context, the discovery that surprised them.
Group B — The Art Critic: shows the work and reveals the depth they see, the critique sentence that synthesises everything.
Group C — The Creator: shows what they created and explains the why — the intention behind the creative gesture.
Key discovery: [Historical context — 3-4 sentences from Section 2]
3 key works: [Artist · Date · Why important]
D: [Describe — colours, shapes, technique]
E/A: [Composition + meaning/intention]
R: [Personal response]
Format: [Visual / Written / Audio]
Creative intention: [Student's intention field — what they wanted to express]
What happens in Task 9
Three groups present in 90 seconds each using structured scaffolds. A class gallery panel (dark blue background) displays all three group outputs side by side. The presenting group's panel glows with a golden animated frame. A 90-second countdown timer changes green → amber (at 60s) → red (at 20s). Audience members react with 6 art-themed emojis. Post-presentation, 1–2 students comment verbally; completing verbal responses for all 3 groups unlocks Continue.
📋 Presentation structure — all groups
🎨 Arts emoji reactions
Reactions are saved with the presenting group's output as "impact data" — not a score, but collective validation. All 6 reaction counts are exported with the gallery PDF. Multiple taps on the same emoji allowed — this demonstrates intensity, not just presence.
- Seated presentation option — spokesperson does not need to stand
- Supported presentation: one group member reads while another points to the output
- Pre-prepared 30-second recording: group records in advance; plays during presentation; spokesperson stands nearby for questions
- Non-verbal presentation: group points and shows work; teacher asks yes/no questions; class interacts directly with the work
- Reduced time: 60s instead of 90s — can be requested in advance
- Emoji reactions available via keyboard shortcut for accessibility
- Three wall sections: "Art Historian" | "Art Critic" | "The Creator" — each group pins their output (prints, posters, written cards)
- Groups present sequentially — spokesperson approaches their section and speaks
- Class places coloured stickers (stars, hearts, thumbs up) on the display — equivalent to emoji reactions
- Display stays in the room for a week — parents and visitors can see it
- Teacher photographs the completed gallery for student portfolios
- Teacher controls gallery mode from dashboard — clicking "Start Presentation [Group]" activates the golden frame on the correct panel across all student devices
- Gallery export creates PDF with all 3 outputs, reaction counts, student names (optional), date and school name
- Export can be shared with parents, printed for a physical wall display, or added to the digital class archive
- Presentation rubric (Clarity / Structure / Engagement / Timing / Confidence) is accessible in teacher dashboard for post-presentation assessment
