Design Thinking
Dream, design and Do or Make!
As students develop their own question, they are asked to think deeply and compassionately about their topic. During our most recent session, students were read the story Turtle Turtle Watch Out by April Pulley Sayre. We brainstormed questions as we discussed the story, and then compared different types of sea turtles and the issues they face in their ecosystems. Students then shared their learning on Flipgrid based on their research using WorldBook, Vancouver Aquarium, and safe Google searches using search engines.
This coming week we will work on designing a protective solution for turtle babies in their habitat. I look forward to seeing our students in action next week sharing their amazing creations, their research and their critical thinking! Part of their sharing next week will include peer feedback based on the core competencies in our standards.
