Rosa Parks | Planning

This week for Inquiry we have been researching activists and working on creating interactive D.L.O's on them. The chosen activists for Florence and I was Rosa Parks. She was an African-american women supporting and fighting for racial rights. We have completed our planning of what needed to be had in our presentation about our activists. This was a lot to complete and would talk around 2 weeks so what is shown is a plan of what will go in our D.L.O. Her story was a big movement and story. In a short description, she was the women who denied moving from her seat in a bus for a white man and was arrested for the issue.

What is Peace? | Peace Poster & Peace Slide

L.I: To investigate and recognise characteristics, actions and symbols of peaceful activists.
This week for Inquiry we are looking at Peace and everything around it. First we wrote about opposites and sames of peace, using our understanding of peace itself to help us. To do that we got into groups of 5 and wrote as many words of synonyms for peace and antonyms for peace. We then split the group of 5, into 3 and 2. I worked with Florence and. We had to write at-least three words that describe each photo on a google presentation. Using those words, we then had to make sentences out of them and also make sentences of the people's perspective in the photo. We also had to look at statements that we had to talk about what it means when it defines peace. Finally, we went away and made posters explaining what "peace" means to us and put the poster on the slide.

WW1 Interactive Book | Battles of WW1 & New Weapons of WW1

L.I: To learn about the causes, conflict, and resolution to WW1 (World War 1).
This week for Inquiry we completed two more activities from our WW1 Interactive book. The first one was about the New weapons of WW1 and the second one was about the Battles of WW1. My partner, Florence, and I had to find out about 3 - 4 weapons in the air, weapons on sea, weapons on land, and the effect those weapons had on WW1 for New Weapons of WW1. Then we had to fill out the questions of what happened and the battles of WW1 in Battles of WW1. We would go back and get our answers checked and get help for certain parts of the activities that we needed it. To complete these two activities, we used the links with the information with the answers to the questions on them.

Interactive Book | WW1

L.I: To learn about the conflict, causes, and resolution to World War 1.
This term for inquiry were focusing on peace relating to conflict and resolution. We're re-searching and learning about WW1 and it's conflict and resolution in that. We first paired up and completed two activities from an interactive notebook with our partner. My partner was Florence. The first was WW1 Vocabulary list which was about words under WW1 that was related to the topic. For that, there was a template which was the word, then we had to find the definition, and an image. Then next one was a timeline that leaded up to world war 1. We had to look at a site that gave us the answers to what started and leaded up to WW1.
