First Unit of Inquiry

 Our first Unit of Inquiry of the year was about Governance and Citizenship. The central idea of this unit was; 

Governance and Citizenship are interconnected and impact rights and responsibilities. We learned about governance and citizenship and how they are interconnected. 

One of the activities was interviewing our parents about our home government. I interviewed my dad about the U.S government. After the interview, we created a google slideshow with the information we learned about in our interview, and presented it to 3 other classmates (while someone was recording my slideshow presentation). I think the leaarner attitudes and attributes in this activity are:  Creative  Communicator  Thinker   Inquirer    Here is my slideshow;



Another activity we did in this unit was that we created our own civilization. We did this activity to learn about how civilizations work, who owns or controls the resources in the civilization. We had a choice to create our civilization on minecraft (c)  or draw a map of our civilization. I chose to draw a map instead. The learner attitudes and attributes in this activity I think were:  Creative   Communicator   Knowledgeable.   I really liked this activity because we got to be sooo creative and got to draw our own country, basically! I think that this unit helped me understand the importance of being a good citizen and what citizenship means. It also helped me realize what is going on in my world today about the governments.                                                                  I hope to do something similar again!
