Discuss what you learned from the process of preparing for and doing the assembly.

I learnt some teamwork and coordination, because we had to know the timing of when the models were suppose to walk out and when I was suppose to announce their work. We had to communicate with each other before the actual fashion show so we were all very sure on what to do. I also learnt to make a statement with a different approach to our usual presentation-showing technique. It was an amazing and information-filled experience.

S.C For Today's Lesson (10/1/12)

Our team and I are in the stage where we are researching. Afterwards, we will compile our information and  put it in a presentation.

What could the outcome of your research look like?

We've split the whole research process into sections, so each of us would have different parts to work on. After we've done all of our research, we will compile them together and use them for mini presentations.
We have decided to have two different presentations, one for Primary audiences and another one for Secondary audiences. We will be recording a puppet show for primary kids to let them understand better and for secondary, a practical model of how a tsunami works.

So our outcomes would be:
A completed research
A recorded puppet show
A Tsunami model

What is the difference between a factual and an interpretive question

A factual question is a question that has only one answer because it's fact-based.
ex. What is a tsunami?

An interpretive question is a question that has more than one answer, it's based on the person's interpretation of it. So, the answer will be an opinion, not a fact.
ex. Why are people scared of tsunamis?

What is a question and how do you come up with questions for learning opportunities?

A question is a worded sentence that will be responded with a piece of information.

It is:
Something you ask
Ends with a "?"
The tone (goes up)

Inquiry questions are important because:
- It indicates the research you want to do
-
