Who Is A Global Citizen?

This week, as part of our Inquiry (Aspire) and our Edublogs Challenge, we're thinking about Who a Global Citizen is.  What makes us a Global Citizen and how can we aspire to act like a Global Citizen?
What responsibilities do we have as a Global Citizen and, to tie it in with our inquiry, How can we aspire to be digital Global Citizens?

We've started a Google Doc to show our initial thinking and how our ideas change and develop over the next few weeks as we pull these ideas / concepts apart.

Click on the link below to take you to the Doc and add your thoughts - don't forget to leave your name and country so that we can see what our 'Global Reach' is!

Who Is A Global Citizen?

EXPANDING OUR VOCABULARY

WOW!!  I am loving reading your poetry and seeing the ways in which you are expanding and extending your knowlegde of more interesting vocabulary.

What are the resources and tools you have in and out of the classroom to help you extend your vocabulary? (Think about how you're using the Google Doc too as a support for vocabulary development).

What other things do you need to do to help develop your vocabulary?  (Think about reading a wider range of texts, etc).

What can you do on a daily basis in your learning - remember learning is in and out of school.

I'm also loving the discussion that's started on the Google Doc - keep that going too, alongside the vocabulary development.

What Would A Scientist Do?

Hey everyone!  Welcome to Week 6.  (Can you believe it's Week 6 already???!!!)

We've been having some issues with the survival rate of our Monarch Caterpillars over the past few weeks and we're not sure what's happening.

What would a scientist do to investigate this issue?  What hypotheses would they come up with?  How would they find out?  What thinking would they be doing when they are 'THINKING LIKE SCIENTISTS'?

Add your ideas below and link your Prior Knowledge to Make Connections and Ask Questions.  You will also need to Analyse and Summarise your findings / research.  You may also need to Infer Meaning to come up with your hypotheses about what is happening.

Who could you ask about this issue?  What resource people do you know?  Who could you contact?
