Perhaps inquiry questions can even repeat throughout the year if we decide to develop chronological units. Ideally I don't think strict chronological units are necessary.

I'd like to see content inclusive of all regions of the world with consideration of global interactions.

If we are considering student interest and provided choice for case studies, I think it would be necessary to include a great deal of flexibility into our curriculum and also develop surveys for students to share what they are interested in. ]]> 2018-02-23 14:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/n5izn26r2myl/wish/234701525 https://padlet.com/naperville203/n5izn26r2myl/wish/234701541 It's important to me to preserve the Greece and Roman civilizations in this course to give students an important understanding of the beginning of Western Civilization, the cultural and intellectual roots of the U.S., and a better understanding of who we are today. I also think we need to consider student interest for these topics as well.

I am less supportive of choice because of the difficulty of both formative and summative assessment. Even if we focus on inquiry skills, content is still very important. Also, we are working with 9th graders whose critical thinking, reading, writing and analysis skills are in early stages of development. In my experience, kids are drawn in by the "story" of history; I don't want to lose that. ]]> 2018-02-23 14:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/naperville203/n5izn26r2myl/wish/234703100 sallen110 https://padlet.com/naperville203/n5izn26r2myl/wish/234703282 I like the idea of having flexibility in the course through the inquiry-based model. This allows the teacher to be able to choose not only content that they are comfortable in but also what they feel best addresses the interests of their students. I think that if we make strong compelling questions that are also general enough, this will allow for flexibility. This flexibility is also important for being able to fit in a larger amount of history. I also agree that we can still respect the curriculum writing of the past while adapting to the new inquiry-based model.
