We just finished our Unit of Inquiry on systems. Each child worked with a team to study a school system in depth and then shared their findings with the class. The groups were shown examples of various ways to present information, such as through posters, slideshows, books and videos. Once one group began making a movie, the other groups were interested in doing the same. Therefore, all four groups created their own iMovies. They interviewed the different people involved in their systems and then worked together on iPads to put their video clips together. These movies were created with very little teacher input; students were of course taught how to do the various steps in the iMovie app, but they were then in charge of independently doing the work. It was quite impressive to see how quickly they picked it up!
The students demonstrated their growing understanding of teamwork and how important it is for everyone to do their job; they shared what would happen if one person did not do his job. This Unit encouraged the children to think at a higher level.
Please enjoy the movies below!
