Well, happily I can add that our questioning and interveiwing of our heroes was very successful. Not only were the students still motivated learners in completing this part of the inquiry but more importantly they couldn't wait to share their results. We only had one parent who felt that it was 'unnecessary' homework (we love the support!) but after a short phonecall and explanation that her son had chosen her as his ultimate Hero, the interveiw was completed. We shared and compared answers within the class and spent an afternoon discussing why some students had more complete answers and looked closely at their questions. There was a lot of class discussion on this and the students shared thoughts and ideas on what they would change next time and how they could have been more specific to gain better answers. All of this discussion will lend itself to better teaching and learning for next term. We continued on our journey and had lots of fun presenting their power-point presentations and their Hero sheilds to their selected Hero. This was a great inquiry topic and provided many many discussions on teaching and learning. Now we are into Term 3 and beginning a new inquiry on being an Inventor!!!!.....
