Learning Engagement 2 by Maria Sanchez https://padlet.com/maria_sanchez16/x7um41jb3a4y en-us 2018-07-02 19:17:16 UTC 2025-11-06 02:55:53 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png CAS activity linked to the theme of Sharing the Planet: The Environment maria_sanchez16 https://padlet.com/maria_sanchez16/x7um41jb3a4y/wish/269187398 At the beginning of this school year, our ESS teacher organized a mini Water Forum inspired by the Water Forum that took place in Brazil this year.  For the activity, students were assigned the different countries that participated in the actual Forum. They researched about their assigned country and they also learned about the structure of the Forum. They had 3 sessions and modeled work groups. They used English to prepare, discuss, and present their conclusions. This time around the event was opened only for the high school students and pedagogical team. Inspired by the impact the event had on our school community, I am thinking of a possible event opened to a larger community of English speakers here in Sao Paulo such as other educational institutions, with the purpose to foster awareness about the important topic of water and empower young people to become agents of change.

  • For Categories 1 to 2B,  hold a writing workshop about how to formulate and refine research questions using the topics we have covered.
  • Every trimester students are assigned a 3 pages paper based on the topic in study. In class, hold peer-work throughout the writing process from brainstorming/outlining to revising the drafts.

    The video “Another Way of Seeing Things” addresses how the same event can be interpreted in completely different ways, affecting our perception of groups of people. Specific words used in media can affect in one way or another our opinions and views. 

    Lessons will foster awareness on how even though  language presents many difficulties as a way of knowing, it is still a powerful tool that shapes our world.
