Framing of LOI's
After framing of central idea learners worked on the concept questions and concepts to be targeted probably for the lines of inquiry.
They focused on the following criteria which provided a basis for authentic and meaningful discussion.
☐Develops an understanding of the CI
☐Is written as a statement or phrase (not a question, topic, or task)
☐Connects to the designated transdisciplinary theme
☐Develops conceptual understanding (key concepts & related concepts)
☐Develops student understanding through multiple perspectives
☐Define the scope of the inquiry
☐Help to focus student research
☐Are distinctive yet connected to one another
Having the students discuss these open ended, yet vitally important ideas, not only gave them ownership over the process, it encouraged them to articulate and extend their current understanding of the concepts embedded in the transdisciplinary theme, listen to different perspectives and come to an agreed upon statement.
