Action in our Unit of Inquiry

Humans live with the consequences of their relationship with the environment.

While planning this unit, we have decided that most of the student understanding that will fall under this central idea will be able to be measured in student action. We are working on an assessment continuum which will help assess student action through the different stages of the unit. According to the PYP, action occurs in a three way cycle where students CHOOSE, ACT and REFLECT. Here are some of the reflections that students initiated this week:

'If you make signs around the pond telling people not to throw rubbish, maybe people will follow the signs.'-Aryana

'People could use these to make a new bottle'-Sumran

'If someone throws glass in the water, then the duck will get hurt. The blood will start coming, and their blood will be finished. He will die.'-Adrif
