Water - Not Glugging, but Glogging!

Grade 4 students created glogs to show their understanding of various water conflict issues in connection with their unit of inquiry on Sharing the Planet.  A glog is an interactive online poster.  Students incorporated text, images, graphics and websites into the glogs that they presented to classmates at the end of the unit.  Visit the Grade 4 library page to see several of the glogs in French, Spanish and German.

Thinking about Research - Using the Big6

Fifth grade students worked on posters of the Big6 research process to be used in the classroom and library.  The posters, in multiple languages, reflected the students' understanding of the "structure" of the process -  linear, circular, pyramidal or . . .   Have you ever thought about the shape of your thinking?

The Big6 is a research process copyrighted by Mike Eisenberg and Bob Berkowitz and is the process that has been adopted by the Primary School.
