We projected this video on a larger screen and showed it to visitors before they walked through our Exhibition.

Hi Neeti,

We did not follow any other lines of inquiry. The transdisciplinary theme, Sharing the Planet, offers students a wide range of inquiries to follow.

• the rights and responsibilities in the struggle to share finite resources with other people and with other living things; • communities and the relationships within and between them;
• access to equal opportunities;
• peace and conflict resolution.

We just inquired about that first strand. Our structure did not allow for students to inquire about the other areas even if they did emerge as the inquiry went along. It was one of my criticisms in my reflection. I think we'll do a better job next year.

Cheers,

Tod

HI,
This is so interesting and such a co-incidence, because the unit under our Sharing the Planet is quite like yours. Interconnectedness of the Natural environment and Human impact.
I liked your thried line of inquiry too, which seems to have evolved as the unit went on I guess. How will our actions make a differecne to sharing of the finite resources.
Tell me one thing, what I see from here. This unit can be led to other aspects too (as of war, etc), if we leave the students to evolve with the lines of inquiry. Did you see those emerging too as you went along the inquiry?
Will look forward to your response,
Neeti
