Building inquiry

WALT:  gather information

Description: Every Wednesday we have been learning about the inquiry process while finding out about different houses around the world. First we chose a question and then researched to find the answer to our question. Our question was ‘What are houses like in England and why are they like this? Each group had to pick a country and inquiry into what their houses are like, present their findings in a Haiku Deck and then build their house in Minecraft.



I think that I am an apprentice because I know that we got quite a lot of information.


Evaluation:

1. What are you most proud of? 

Inside the house because we fitted a lot of stuff in it.

2. What did you find challenging?

Puting detail in to our house because we did not get that much information( photos )

3. My next ‘Get It’ goal is?

Use the internet way better.

Hi Hunter,
I like how you have put some pictures inside of your pic collage to show the reader what you are talking about. I think next time you need to work on your background in your pic collage because it might suck the energy away from your writing and maybe next time you could add a bit more detail in your evaluation but apart from those 2 things great work Hunter.
You are a great role model for others!
