The design brief asks learners to create a street that represents Rue Yacoubian from The Hungry Cat story. The finished design will be used as a visual aid for re-telling the story

As a class, learners could devise a list of success criteria for their street, for example:

• length of the street
• shops must be in correct order from the story
• materials that can be used
• names of shops must be in French and English
• 3D nets must be used to make the shops

 Within their groups, learners could:

• Plan the layout their street
• Construct their street using an agreed range of materials. For example, cardboard, paper, paint, etc
• Use 3D nets in order to create the buildings

Learners could devise questions to help decide how effective their design is, for example:

• Does it fulfil the success criteria?
• Does your design include the shops’ names in the story?
• Is it realistic in appearance?
• Could it be improved in any way?

After peer and self assessment, pupils should have the opportunity to reflect and modify their street.
