Division 6 has spent the last 5 weeks Exploring various topics that interest us. Students chose a topic, skill, or area of interest and learned about it each week during our “Explorations” time. They began by gathering a list of resources (books and websites) that would help them along the way. They set an end goal, and made a plan for the steps they would need to accomplish each week in order to reach it. Finally, they presented their learning to the class. We had a wide range of topics, including:
- coding
- visual/special effects in movies
- miniatures
- Diwali
- history – Ancient Egypt & the evolution of man
- Japanese
- construction
- graphic design
- and many more!
Our first Explorations was a huge success. I look forward to seeing what you all explore next!
