Investigating area with Y7 Maths students who had "failed" throughout school. Went from colouring boxes to using theodolites in a term - massive boost to confidence, self esteem and learning - positive impact on behaviour in other lessons.

Unit: Pantomime/Mime
How do we communicate without speaking on a daily basis?
Students worked in groups to think of the ways they communicate non-verbally/through their bodies.
Active learning that drew on real-life expereinces. There were cross cultural differences. Highly engaging.

Dan here: I really like the way the MYP PHE criteria lends itself to inquiry. In units on personal fitness have seen students build knowledge, set goals, train towards them and reflect on their progress.

In my lesson I sent students off in groups for which they all had an opposing brief. Their challenge was to solve an economic issue in the role of opposing political parties. They then had to vote for a party who had what they thought was the best solution (not being able to vote for their own party), to win the election, after each party had made their case.

Pupils were introduced to Rosa Parks and the bus Boycott. They research into the segregation divide at the time and had to write and perform a monologue inspired by the event. Every monologue was unique in setting, character and point of view.

As I am not a classroom teacher I have had little experience with inquiry during a lesson. I did run a small group in which the students struggled with appropriate social interaction. They questioned why they responded to situations the way the did. As they explored this thought they led themselves into a lesson on the impact our thoughts have on our feelings and how our feelings influence our behaviors

Writing a newspaper article about the causes consequences and responses to a natural disaster. We modelled a couple together in class eg a volcanic eruption and then students could choose their natural disaster. Although they learnt about natural disasters and could research we put several extra steps in to make it more inquiry focused asking them to think about why they were interested in specific events.

Drama as Literature
The Crucible
Introduction to the importance of understanding context (time, place, circumstances around production). Groups chose from a list of relevant topics and worked together over two lessons to compile slides to present and to share with the class via Managebac. Historical research sounds dull, but the focus on witches helped! As did the inclusion of modern-day cases of 'mass hallucination' events and the film 'The Falling'. Two quite different grade years found this stimulating when then reading the text, the understanding of which became much easier.

I stood on a ladder and dropped an egg to the ground and followed with the question, how can this egg land softly without cracking? This provocation led to great inquiry into forces and motion, and air and aerodynamics.

Grade 7, Eng Lang & Lit.

Students began by exploring the different ways they retrieve information: Instagram, BBC, Tik Tok and then discussed if these are classified as 'news'.

This led to them thinking about the characteristics of news as well as the stylistic and structural features later on in the unit.

Though this unit, we explored and analyzed protest music and freedom songs from a variety of genres, cultures, and eras, looking to answer the question: "How can we use our voices to spread awareness and promote change?" The summative assessment asked students to research a topic/issue they were passionate about, write original lyrics for a specific audience/purpose/call to action, and set the words to a melody.

Investigating relationships of motion.

Really effective inquiry using supplied equipment, and a small amount of scaffolding. Students were able to investigate and determine rules such as s=1/2gt^2
