...in other words:
a group of children decides to build a billy-cart: this is the initial idea.
They ask their dads for some advice and google some facts...lots of information available: fact finding.
They work out what they will need to buy, how much it will cost, who will buy it, who can get tools from home, when they will meet: planning.
They cut the wood and hammer together the basic structure: first action step.
"Wouldn't the structure be more stable if we used screws?" :evaluation.
They pull the nails out and replace them with screws:amended plan.
Work begins on the wheels: second step......
The creative process, alternating between action and critical reflection is ultimately just as important as the end product.
(and the good news is that there are still real children who race recklessly down real hills on real self-made billy-carts,maybe even breaking some real bones and experiencing the thrill of it all...)
