Celebrating and Collaborating on Learning incorporating Student Choice - A War Museum
A Year 5-8 group have student choice during World War Inquiry, culminating in a War Memorial Room to share their learning with the wider school and community.
Why: This inquiry allowed for student choice/ agency in how they wanted to share their learning , with the ultimate goal of sharing the learning from multiple classes, in a War Museum,(an entire room set up for this purpose that was available). Students were extremely proud sharing their work with others in their school and wider community.
What: Students in the senior school used the School Kit Walking with an Anzac Resource as a springboard into exploring an aspect of the war further. They could share/ present this learning in a variety of ways, reflecting student choice, with the ultimate goal of it being displayed in a war memorial museum. Children had the option of working with children who shared common interests and also inquiring into family connections to the war. Completed work was then displayed in an entire room dedicated to becoming a War Museum as celebrated by the school.
How: This could be easily applied to a range of inquiries as a way of offering student choice in ways to present learning and also ways of bringing the sharing of learning together across classes, working on a common theme. Perhaps libraries could become a good place for sharing this type of learning if spaces are limited.
