NOTE: PERMISSION FORMS FOR D2L AND MINECRAFT!!!!

One Independent novel to be finished by March 2nd. 

Read and track your reading.

After spending three weeks building our background knowledge, today we begin an inquiry about reconciliation. You will need to decide where to go with the idea of reconciliation.

To reconcile, or to start over, is always tough to do. But people can start by telling their stories, by listening deeply to each other, and by believing that reconciliation is a worthwhile goal.

RESEARCH

Research begins with a good question. We’ll start with a QFT (Question Formulation Technique) to help us develop some questions that have some space for exploration. The question prompt is:

Canadians are tolerant of people’s heritage, customs, and religious beliefs; we are far less racist than any other country.

We will use the questions we generate in the QFT to help guide our research. We begin by creating a plan – Inquiry Planner to track our thinking.

We’ll break into our groups:

Group 3 (On devices)

  1. Check the tracking sheet. Leave a comment for items you have completed.
  2. Add a thank you to the padlet.
