Students present:
Saskia, Caleb, Vivian
Today's meeting was very interesting. I can clearly see the progress you have made and it is evident that you have reflected upon your lines of inquiry and come up with great lines which are not statement or questions with simplistic answers. Lines of inquiry should be exciting enough to make you want to know more about a topic.
I have attached a link here http://diigo.com/0gba4 where I have highlighted some research skills. There is a lot of information out there on the world wide web! So you would need to
a) keep the central idea in mind
b) skim and scan
in order to retrieve salient information.
I would also like us make sure we stick to the next weeks plan which is:
a) Every one must blog at least twice this week. Remember we are recording the process of our learning. We best learn from mistakes and what better where than to record the development of your lines of inquiry.
b)Caleb to make a Glogster(for more about Glogster check out my website (place cursor on blank spot) nainiatyourdoorstep.weebly.com) about global warming using facts/ statistics/ data
c) Interview Mr Wilkins and find out more about the snow caps on mount Kilimanjaro, Mt Kenya. Find referrals from him of experts who study ice (Caleb calls them Ice men!)
d)Best part: What action are we going to take that could inform people and also that is sustainable:
walk around school observing how people are using electricity in their classrooms. Creating posters fro the junior and senior school advising them how to reduce their carbon footprints.
Write a letter to the principals of junior and senior school requesting them to turn off the AC's for an hour in the library (morning time)
