How are we shaped by our past?


Aha, now I may be slightly broken at the moment, but I am able to type away with one hand.... Below is an explaination of your homework up until Wednesday.  (We'll get back into spelling next week).

Before camp we learnt about what is involved in an ASPIRE project. We talked briefly about what happens at each stage. You will be taking your folders home each night, then 'boomeranging' them back to school each day to continue in class. We have started on the ACCUMULATION stage. This is the gathering step. Gathering topic ideas, then gathering appropriate questions, then gathering information. Your task for tonight is to decide on the topic you would like to develop.  You have a few options brainstormed already (in your topic books) and everyone has started to develop some deep questions. 

Remember your topic needs to be able to be relevant to our BIG question 'How are we shaped by our past?'  We are aiming to interview someone (ideally a Grandparent or similiar) so keep this in mind when choosing topics and questions.

On Wednesday you will hand in you folders with your topic choice and at least 5 deep questions.

If you have any problems with this - post your question below and I'll give you a hand.
What topic have you decided on?
