Ce blog a été créé pour vous aider avec votre enquête et pour obtenir une meilleure compréhension des événements qui se passe autour de vous; qu'elles soient fondées sur les questions de la Première nation ou non.
We are in our second week of our First Nations inquiry project. At this point you should have an area of interest and have SOME idea of how it connects to the First Nations community. If you do not, don't dispair!! This blog was created to help you with your inquiry and get a deeper understanding of the event that happen around you, whether based on First NAtion issues or not.
Ne paniquez pas!!!
Pour vous aidez à planifier:To help you plan:
Identify what the task requires.
(Answer one of the inquiry questions. Create your own inquiry from your research. Create a visual representation. ex: Song, installation, cookbook/3 course meal, climate change action plan for the UN, lotions and lip balms, a new math curriculum)
Identify criteria for success.
Am I using my time to the best of my ability? Are Ms. Kuhn and Mme. Wood helping me with skills to find my research? Have I identified mini-lessons I need them to teach?
Make an appropriate plan for completing the task.
Are you setting yourself small daily goals? Am I filling out my sheets? Am I conferencing with Ms. Kuhn and Mme. Wood?
Remember to self-evaluate every day:
4= deeply rooted in understand - I totally get and can teach it
3= strongly rooted in understanding - I get it and can explain it
2= some roots in understanding - I kinda get it and it’s starting to make sense
1= just sprouting in understanding - I don’t get it yet.. I’m going to get it through
