Finding out: What is it all about?

Our Year 6 classes have just started their second stage of the inquiry process: Finding out.  They have worked very hard over the last couple of weeks identify the issues that they would like to investigate further and decide on research questions, based on four of the PYP Key Concepts.  Now, they are all set to go forward with finding the answers to their questions.




They have also created note-taking guides to help them along as they find information that they think might be useful for answering their concept/research questions.

  1. We had trouble deciding on and writing our lines of inquiry.
    We tried by ourselves but were finding it very difficult so we got a teacher to help us with ideas.
    What we found really challenging was deciding on our inquiry and writing questions that would get useful information.

    Mostly settling into our new group, we overcame it by thinking really hard and deeply communicate, and cooperate with our group.

  4. I would think that "Finding Out" could be hard but interesting. Are there any fun activities that you guys do? Any gamers or experiments for "Finding Out"? -Roseta2494.

    1. In our exhibition we used the paper a lot.
      We used it to gather information of our lines of inquiry and them sort it out.
      It was very helpful in our exhibition and we could keep a lot of our information with us.
