The central idea and lines of inquiry guide us through what we are learning in this unit. The central idea is the main idea of the unit. The lines of inquiry help us focus on the things we want to find out.
Central Idea:
"Animation can be used to convey certain messages, expressions and emotions."
Lines of Inquiry:
- Different types of animation (Form)
- Development of animation (Change)
- Advantages and disadvantages of animation (Perspective)
- Development of animation (Change)
- Advantages and disadvantages of animation (Perspective)
Process:
Central Idea: 1. Brainstorming: We all came up with and shared our own ideas. We agreed on our current central idea. 2. Main idea: We compromised our ideas together and by that, we combined our central ideas together. 3. Paraphrasing: We paraphrased it in order to make it better. We fixed errors, such as grammar. 4. Final Presentation: We got a second opinion about it. We did this when our PYP coordinator helped us with the process. 5. Checking: We double checked our central idea with a teacher. The same thing as number 4 but a bit different. | Lines of inquiry: 1. Brainstorming: Thinking of questions about animation. 2. Topic: Choosing the three of our best questions and putting them in categories according to our Key Concepts. Key Concepts: - Causation - Form - Perspective - Responsibility - Reflection - Function - Change - Connection 3. Checking: We double checked our lines of inquiry with a teacher to make sure it's appropriate for us and our topic. |
