WALT:Follow an inquiry process.

This term as we have been learning about China, we have continued building on the inquiry skills we lernt in Term 2.we brainstormed open questions as a class and then delegated these out to pairs.The part of china Dan,Luke and I were finding out more about was there Celebrations. we found our information in books and on the internet. we used a data chart to make sure we triangulated all our information so we knew it was true. we then used movie maker to present our inquiry. something i enjoyed was filming our movie. an interesting fact i found out was its not too hard to make a movie. my next learning step in inquiry is to keep up with everyone else.
