Students worked together to inquire into our local government's website. Students searched for facts about the City Council, the recreation department, the mayor, special events, Shaker's map, and more. This information, along with our Concept Map, will be applied to create our own local government. Stay tuned for more details about the name of our community.

Kid Leaders
Week of 10/22/18
Our study into leadership continues through kid leaders. You don’t have to be part of a government structure to make a difference. What does it take to be a leader? Does everyone have to be a leader? What characteristics do leaders have? During the provocation (with the Kid President) we discussed adult leaders who made significant contributions. Next, we examined 6 kids who happen to be contributing leaders. After wondering and making connections about each kid leader, the identities were revealed! Then, each student chose 3 leaders of interest. I formed groups based on student interest. Small groups of 3-4 students worked together. Groups completed the following: Sticky Notes: inquiry and connection; Article: Groups read a short article about the kid leader, determined the main idea and supporting details, and defined leadership characteristics. Websites: Students found interesting facts about the kid leaders.
Posters: The information gathered from the research was shared in poster-format. (We’ll finish sharing next week.)

PROVOCATION 10/17/18 Our new IB unit started this week. I told the class that one person truly inspires me to be a better person and to make the world more awesome. I took ten questions to guide students into my inspiring leader’s secret identity. Afterwards, I revealed the secret leader (THE KID PRESIDENT!) and we watched some inspiring videos of the leader. Then, I posed a question to the students. What can YOU do to make the world more awesome? Each student recorded his/her answer on a hand cut out. After sharing and discussing the responses, I explained that this unit would involve an inquiry into leadership. This first lesson was a provocation to generate excitement and inquiry. Next week, students we will begin to dig deeper into leadership and local communities.
