Inquiry term two - heroes

This term we have decided to change our inquiry model slightly.
We are using the tool - the question map - however, it wasn't working as well as it should be. After attending the Trevor Bond workshop, it was decided that instead of having a leading question, our question will be embedded into a task. This should (hopefully) set up the thinking for the question map so it is used more effectively.

This is our task for the unit:
Research what it means to be a hero.
Investigate the qualities that heroes display.

Using the information you have discovered, locate a hero in our local community.
Share their heroic qualities and plan an action to celebrate the heroes in our community.


Children will have questions about this task and those are going to lead into the question map.
Something else that we are trialling, so will keep you informed about how it is going.
