This week, the students were learning about significant events as part of our unit of inquiry. We used the word important instead of significant as it was easier for the students to understand. Before the students decide what events are important in their life, we thought it would help them to ask other teachers in the school.
So first the students thought of three questions to ask the teachers:
- What was an important event in your life when you were little?
- What is an important memory from your life? Why is it important?
- Is there something that happened before you were born that changed your life?
The last question is especially important for our central idea which is 'Learning about previous generations can help us understand the relationship between past and present.'
The students were then split into groups and went around the school to interview teachers and staff members.
Here are the interviews! When you watch these, you can reflect on your own life or your parents life to see how similar or different your own experiences were.
