Zee - Inquiry Goal

My goal for this unit is to ensure that the language of inquiry is visible and used in learning conversations.
Children know that we are doing inquiry but often find it difficult to verbalise the process, to specfically state what happens at each stage and why it happens.
I will aim to achieve this goal by displaying contextual language, displaying student voice, record ideas on charts and display, promote the use of thinking tools to develop understanding of inquiry and blog progress (whic is something that has fallen down this year.)
I will ask children why they are doing something, so they are able to explain the purpose and also their next learning steps in inquiry learning.
If all goes according to plan - like I said - that is the aim. :-)
