We are starting our biodiversité unit today by exploring our padlet and defining what is biodiversity. Students will get their first taste of a really open project when they get to inquire about a topic within biodiversity that interest them. I find that the first project is always anxiety producing because by grade 6 students are really used to being told what and how they are going to learn about a subject. However, once they discover how much more motivating and enriching it is making their own way they obviously love it. This week we will also be discussing our first C: character/ caractère (post to follow with more info on this).
Hi Mme. Oliver....should they be working on the projects at home or just at school? Have you given out specific instructions on what the final product should be?
ReplyDeleteThey are absolutely free to work on it at home if they want. My latest blog post will probably answer questions about the final tasks.
