Week 3 Reflection

Week 3 Reflection

Group reflection:

This week we have finalised our lines of inquiry and have formed questions to research on. All of us have already started some Mandarin work, we have made some titles for our Exhibition Journals in Mandarin. We have all already got newspaper articles and books related to our topic to start highlighting and summarising.

Sometimes our group gets sidetracked and we talk about other stuff.

Some things we have done this week:

• We have set up our roles and know what to research
• We formed research questions
• We finalised our lines of inquiry
• We finished our questions eggs (need to know, good to know and interesting to know questions)
• We had a meeting with Ms Chung, Ms Fisher and Mrs. Lowe
• We summarized our newspaper articles and started doing a little bit of research with the books we have borrowed
• Planned where we are going for our field trip & who we are going with (Air Pollution Group).
• We did a risk assessment and wrote a letter to get permission for the excursion trip

How did we from our line of inquiry:

• We found out our interests about what we wanted to research on and what concept we like
• We thought of questions that we want to research into
• We changed the questions into a line of inquiry
• We then thought of the concept it was related to
• We then decided whether that line of inquiry was suitable for our research
• We changed the line of inquiry if needed or agreed and decided that this line of inquiry was final

Our excursion: Fanling Environmental Resource Centre:

We are going to the Fanling Environmental Resource Centre on the 30th April.  Jaime experienced a weird phone call when we dialled the wrong phone number-we got the numbers mixed up. We also called the correct phone number for confirmation and booking our field trip. In the end, we are going on the 30th of April from 10:40 Am to 4: 00 Pm with the Air Pollution Group. We had to do a risk assessment that we sended to Mr Harrison so he can approve that we can go. We made a letter that will be sent home our parents and signed as soon as possible to make sure everybody will be going for the trip.

How our group are making decisions and dealing with any disagreements:

We are using the essential agreement to make sure when people do things as we agreed (signed) to. When they are not, we remind them that they are breaking a rule/rules.  The essential agreement is located at the back of the classroom on the window.

We make decisions by brainstorming a list of ideas and then agreeing on the best one. Sometimes, our group just makes a decision without making sure that everybody in the group agrees.
