Group 1 Case Study by Taskeen Lakhani https://padlet.com/taskeen2108/group1 Let's put on our thinking caps for inquiry TCs! en-us 2017-10-12 14:12:52 UTC 2017-10-12 20:58:42 UTC hello@padlet.com Playground Observation About Tom taskeen2108 https://padlet.com/taskeen2108/group1/wish/196445571 Tom, much younger than the boys around him, was watching quietly from amongst the crowd of cheerful boys and was regarding the events with what seemed to be apprehension and possibly a good measure of fearfulness. When the others glanced in his direction he forced a small smile but seemed to back farther away.

Finally one of the boys broke his silence and said, “It’s your turn, that is, if you’re not too chicken!’

‘I’m not’, replied Tom.

‘Grab on, then.’

Tom stepped consciously toward the older boy and into the circle of onlookers. The older boy caught hold of him and a faint gasp was heard as the ‘torture’ began. Everyone seemed to be screaming or shouting but nothing was heard from the ‘torture victim’. Finally, the ‘helicopter swing’ ride ended to the crowd’s disappointment. As Tom touched the ground he fought to find his steps and mumbled: ‘Gee...uh...that was good.’ But his facial expression told a different story.
 
INQUIRY QUESTION: How might this observation impact the way you teach in classrooms?
