Last week we presented what we had learned about the inuit. We voted on two new civilisations to study for the next month or so. Some students have chosen to study "la grèce antique" and some have chosen to look at the vikings. Today, we started by looking at where these civilisations are in the world. For the rest of the week we will focus on the environment (plant, animals, climate etc.) of these civilisations. For our inuit inquiry students were grouped randomly. This time around students will get to choose their collaborators. Students will get to keep working on the 3 Cs we have studied so far Collaboration, Critical Thinking and Character.
Last week we analysed our inuit projects to see what we did well and what we needed to improve this time around. Many saw improvement in their character progression. We were more independent and responsible for our learning (of course some students still need to work on this area). We worked really well in groups which demonstrates how far our collaboration skills have come.
This time around we need to work on making the interaction between the environment and the way of life of the greeks/vikings more explicit.
We also need to use the exemplars and success criteria to do our best work.
For students who would like to deepen their learning at home they can find all our goals, resources, exemplars and success criteria in our Hapara Workspace (students access it through the OCSB student portal)
