Looking at artifacts to learn about Transdisciplinary Themes and Key Concepts |
Students reflecting on the process |
We spent time working on the following items which will prepare the students for the work to come. Here are some things we did:
- Began brainstorming for "Group Agreements"--we looked at the Learner Profile and turned each profile into agreement statements; groups will use these statements to create group agreements on how they will work together
- Reviewed the Transdisciplinary Themes that guide the Primary Years Programme--we had students access their background knowledge about the themes and determine which theme(s) their issue fit under
- We also began generating inquiry questions based on the Key Concepts--students will narrow their list of questions down to a manageable number and use these to guide their inquiries
Next week, students will do further work on their questions and then create a research plan. They will also schedule their first mentor meeting.
