Sharing+and+Celebrating

Students will need time to create their product.
 * Creating**

**Sharing: Possible Ideas**
Adminstrator(?) **sums up the activity** and discusses what happens next.
 * Graffiti Wall** in the gym. In the morning each class posts their products (answer to the question) on the graffiti board.
 * School-wide Assembl**y - Inquiry Parade - each class comes in holding their research question
 * Class Presentation** - in some way explain what is on the wall and what questions they still might have.
 * Walk-about** to see the points each class has made.

(This last suggestion comes from Carol Koechlin, the author of //Q Tasks// and //Building InfoSmarts// after I emailed her about the I//nquiry Awareness Week//.)
 * Building Metacognition: Big Think Activity**

On page 23 of //Building InfoSmarts// a culminating activity is suggested to "pull all new knowledge, ideas, and questions together so you can see the big picture about your topic."

Carol suggests that during the walk-about the students note the playground features they like the most. After the assembly the students could complete a survey using a Google form where they list their 3 top must haves for the playground. The data could be gathered on a spreadsheet and analyzed to inform admin or whomever what the students really want in their playground.

A couple of reflective questions could be included in the survey about the process such as what new skills did I acquire doing the project? What was difficult? What would I like to do better next time?
