Apocalypse Theories Post 9

Students have spent the week working on their proposals. They also had to complete a progress report ready for Monday outlining their inquiry question, what they have done so far, their next steps and any problems they have encountered. It has been good seeing the vast majority self-organise and manage their time, especially since we have a double period of two hours. Some students have demonstrated more engagement in the last 4 periods than all the year's classes combined.

My next entry is going to be after some thinking about what Michael Young calls "Powerful Knowledge" and how it might apply to what my students are doing in class at the moment.
