Today we started our ASPIRE inquiries, where our aim is to answer our big question 'HOW ARE WE SHAPED BY OUR PAST? We discussed what an ASPIRE inquiry is. Basically a process to guide you through your own learning/inquiry. It will continue to become clearer to you as we go through the process. Each term we will revisit the process. Next term the ASPIRE inquiry will be your science fair project.
A key part of any ASPIRE inquiry is to manage your time carefully. Your large ASPIRE timeline will help you to do this. We will compete the timeline in class after each ASPIRE session and tick off each task as it is completed.
This week we are working on the 'A' of ASPIRE - the ACCUMULATING stage. First brainstorming open ended interesting questions, then later this week gathering together a range of information to give us some background knowledge of our topic.
You came up with some great ideas today in class. I'm looking forward to seeing how you have built on them after discussing your ideas with your parents and caregivers at home.
