🖼️ Phase 5 — Propagation 🎤 Presentations ⏱ 5 minutes

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.

Step 1 — The audience mindset
🖼️
Welcome to the Class Gallery
A presentation is also a form of art
A painting on an empty wall is just colour. But in a gallery, surrounded by people and their gazes? It becomes conversation. It becomes meaning.

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.
👂 As audience, listen for: one thing that changed your thinking · one question you still have · one connection to your own relationship with art

Waiting for presentation to begin…
Tap an emoji while the group is presenting — not to judge, but to validate that you heard them. Reactions are saved with each group's output.
Step 6 — Verbal validation tracker
Post-presentation verbal response
1–2 students comment verbally after each presentation — one sentence. Track which groups you have responded to.
Example verbal responses: "I loved how Group A explained the historical context — I had no idea [movement] was a response to [event]." · "Group C's creation made me think about art in a completely different way."
Bridge to Task 10
"Each group saw art through a different lens. Each perspective was valid. Each voice was heard. This is what it means to be an artist, critic or historian — not to have absolute certainty, but the courage to speak. Now, the whole class co-creates the Wonder Map."

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

0–10s Opening: "Our group was [Group A: the Art Historian / Group B: the Art Critic / Group C: the Creator]."
10–50s Show visual output · State one key finding · Explain the most surprising discovery
50–80s AI reflection: "One thing AI helped us understand / one thing we had to verify — and what we found"
80–90s Closing connection: "This changes the way you see art because…"

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.

♿ SEN Adaptations
  • 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
🖨️ No-Tech Format — Physical Wall Gallery
  • 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 notes
  • 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
