Comments:
This central idea fits the criteria of IB central idea. Our students can learn the key concepts through traditional activities of one particular country to know the kids there, and then know their culture and the difference with their own culture. According to my 3rd P.E, kids will have soccer unit to explore how the game, the techniques, the rules, and the celebrations look like from different countries.

1. Lines of inquiry jump out from "questions" sentence to expand the exploration
2. We reflected that our summative assessment should reflect upon students' understanding of lines of inquiry which we can improve
3. Give students opportunities to use drawing or various presentation to present their ideas and no need limit to create "objects". Because students may have ideas but they have not yet have enough knowledge to create the objects in their mind.
4. Thinking how to change process to improve our life 
5. Encourage students to observe real-life problems ]]> 2022-09-01 18:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/157lw3dzcl7qiued/wish/2279755285 Jennifer Rebeiro - English https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/157lw3dzcl7qiued/wish/2279786120 Theme: Body, Exercise and Wellness

My draft about central idea：Every aspect of wellness can affect a person’s life and each individual’s path will be a bit different
 
I think our lines of inquiry in this unit cover a broad range of topics, but I'm not sure how to convey the various perceptions of health for everyone in the central idea. Perhaps the meaning here is cultural as well. Some cultures, for example, worship body muscles, which is considered healthy, and some cultures may have a hobby of tattooing on the body. We could discuss health from a broader perspective.
