Making the Matrix

Along with the Musical, on Friday we had the Exhibition Day. We had a combined class, where we chose our Mother Central Idea. It is 'Peoples action can lead to seeking solutions and achieve sustainability.' Next, we continued with framing our Central Idea and chose the Learner Profile Attributes, Attitudes, Skills, Related Concepts, Science and Social Strands and AK Strands.

We divided the related concepts and connected them to the key concepts. Based on this, we formed our lines of inquiry. 

After that, we saw a really inspirational music video by Nickleback called 'If Everyone Cared'. It was about how a small step could bring about a great change.

Then, we got a paper where we had to write about the kind of action we would be taking and what kind of support we would need.

 

The matrix is as follows :
