Answering our questions

At the beginning of this unit students asked questions they wanted to answer. We recorded the questions here as well as in the classroom. These questions helped us to guide the inquiry.

We spent time today finding the answers to the questions the students had. We grouped the students into areas of interested and they worked together to record the answers to the questions. They used the knowledge gained from guest speakers, viewings, readings and class discussions throughout the unit to answer the questions.

Look at the collaboration and thinking happening!
