Sample questions

A few real prompts from the game to help you choose an activity for your class.

  1. Sort the works into groups.

    Sort into

    • digital work
    • handwork
    • a drawing made in software
    • a watercolour
    • a photomontage
    • a woodcut
    Read the explanation

    Digital work and handwork are made differently.

  2. Sort the ensembles into groups.

    Sort into

    • Thai ensemble
    • western ensemble
    • the piphat ensemble
    • an orchestra
    • a Thai string ensemble
    • a pop band
    Read the explanation

    Thai and western ensembles use different instruments.

  3. Sort the balances into groups.

    Sort into

    • symmetrical balance
    • asymmetrical balance
    • the two sides exactly alike
    • one large mass balanced by several small ones

    Balance is judged by how the two sides are arranged.

What children will practise

Practises separating digital from handmade art, Thai from Western ensembles, symmetrical from asymmetrical balance, and acceptable from unacceptable online use of others' work. Supports indicator ศ 1.1 ป.6/1.

What's in the worksheet

4 rounds, sort 4 items into 2 groups - computer drawings and photo montage are digital; watercolour and woodcut are handmade - piphat and Thai string ensembles are Thai; orchestra and pop/rock band are Western - identical sides and a mirror reflection are symmetrical balance - free-licence images used with credit are fine; editing photos to mislead is not

How to use it in class

A mid-unit review or the opener to digital work, about 6 minutes, in teams. Before the balance round, project one symmetrical and one asymmetrical picture and let teams call them. In the online-behaviour round, have teams justify each item before the reveal, since Grade 6 pupils already use web images for assignments. Play it linked to the class and the scores go into the gradebook.

Common sticking points

- Photo montage (phap tat to): children who have done paper collage will put it under handmade, which is reasonable. Say that here it means editing on a computer. - "One big thing balanced by several small ones": children may not see this as balance. Use a see-saw picture. - String band (wong string): some file it as Thai because such bands sing Thai songs.
