Summative Week
The summative activity showcases the children's learning and understanding of the unit after 7 weeks of inquiry! For this unit, the children brainstormed all the jobs in the community they know. This list is compared to the same list made at the beginning of the unit to check for growth in understanding.
After the chart is made the children vote on a job they will act out in a tableaux that they will present for the other children.
Through discussion the children shared their knowledge about dentists, answering the following questions:
what is the dentists role?
what tools or equipment does a dentist use?
how does a dentist help the community?
what would happen if there were no dentists?
After reading this post over I began thinking there is a question missing from the ones the children are reflecting on; who helps the dentist? I think this is an important perspective that helps draw the connection to the idea that we help build community and community helps us acheive our goals.
