What's the Unit? Provocation

This is the question I posed to the class today. To help them make some predictions I gave them 8 different pictures including the ones below:

 

 

In pairs students spent a few minutes considering the pictures or quote. I asked them,

• What can you see? What does it remind you of? How does it make you feel?

Many students had focused and thoughtful conversations about what they were seeing and how this might relate back to our Unit of Inquiry. Some predictions included travel, differences, the world and senses.

Tomorrow I will give them some more pictures for some more hypothesizing and then we will be able to discuss our focus for the next six weeks.

Here are some photos of the students hard at work reflecting, thinking and inquiring.
