Our new unit – Civilizations
Learning about our history……sounds interesting
and fascinating. With all this excitement we have started our second Unit of
Inquiry ‘Civilizations’ under the Trans-disciplinary Theme; ‘Where we are in
place and time’. We tuned into the Trans disciplinary theme
by showing a video ‘The earliest human Migrations’ to the students
followed by a discussion on the spread of human population and how people
started living together. As a provocation to this unit, students watched videos
of ‘Movie 10000 BC trailer’ and ‘History of world in 7 minutes’
followed by a discussion after which students wrote their reflections. Students also watched another video ‘Ancient ideas that
shape our lives today’ as the tuning in of the central idea “Ancient
civilizations continue to influence our world today” after which
the students displayed the attribute of being “Thinkers” and were engaged in a
dialogue about the importance of respecting the culture they study and how
ancient world influence our lives today.
Wow…..what a start!
