We watched a You tube clip about a young boy who created his own arcade.
Caine's arcade
We discussed why he worked so hard, what motivated him and how creative he was.
We then started to think about what we are passionate about, what we want to learn, create, do.
The students started to think about their interests, what they are good at and what they are curious about. This is their first think. They will continue to go back to their initial ideas, refining and rethinking until they come up with an idea that really interests them.
In the coming weeks they will research and work on their own inquiry based on something that interests them on Wednesday afternoons.
Throughout the process they will be learning research skills, refining their organizational skills, developing questions, writing, creating, reflecting and presenting to the class.
