Unit of Inquiry

We Have Tale to Tell

Central Idea: "Messages conveyed are influenced by personal experiences and society."

In tale to tell, Ms. Jo read a book written by Nancy Yi Fan. It was called "Sword bird". Few weeks later, we wrote about Nancy Yi Fan. Also after that book, we read another book which is written by Lola Jaye. And we made a poster about Lola Jaye. After that happens, we message to her and fortunately, she answered for us.

In tale to tell, I enjoyed making our own stories. At tale to tell, I made a book which is Ms.Lina and a little boy, William. What I made is a chapter book. Also their is another book. It called "Jack and Annie's Adventure". I use magic tree house picture and name. I enjoyed making stories by my self and Leslie Lor and Ms. Jo checked for me. Later, our parents came and we show what we did.



Nature Unleashed

Central Idea: people organize themselves to respond to disasters.

In this unit, I did flood and volcano. In EAL class,I did volcano and also I did safety tips and report about volcano and in Ms. Jo's class, I did flood and Rattana helped me because she was doing in flood too. After that I wrote, Ms .Jo checked it for me and then I started to make some correction and I finished my flood report. Later, we had an assembly and someone put our poster up there.



What's the Matter

Central idea: Materials undergo changes that provide benefits and pose challenges for society.



In what's the matter unit, I did solid, liquid and gas. We did some experiments which was we have a ice and hold it for long time. And then, you will see that solid ice is turning to liquid which is water. Also You will make gas too. I did it in Ms. Alison's class. After few weeks, I did some magic trick with EAL students. The magic trick was there was 2 balloons and in one balloon there was no water and another balloon was the water balloon. One plain balloon should pop when we hold the balloon near fire and water balloon should not pop but they both pop so it was fun but we failed that magic trick.

Body Journeys

Central Idea: body systems work together to keep us alive.

In this unit, we were learning about systems which as...


 * Skeletal system
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Muscular system
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Digestive system ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Circulatory system ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Nervous system ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Respiratory System ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Immune System ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Endocrine System ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Reproductive System ====

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">At beginning, we made a skeletal and this activity took times very long but this helped somehow and it was fun for me. After we finished, we started making our body report which about these I choose Skeletal system. This took really long. Also in EAL, I made other report which is nervous system. So I have to make 2 reports. I enjoyed making reports.



<span style="color: #8bcbf9; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20.8px;">Exhibition

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">In unit of inquiry, we are doing exhibition. IN exhibition we did lots of thing such as we choose what group will you be and I choose basic health education. This choice was really important choice because this get you exhibition group and you have to stay with your group for the exhibition ended. Fortunately, I like this topic and team member. In specials, We made a flag and songs. I felt that the exhibition was really hard. In exhibition, the hardest one was Persuasive Report. In Persuasive Report, you have to put lines of inquiry. After, few weeks later, I started getting poster and stuff for our display board. This helped the team little bit. We were putting information to display board. Then Sarah came and became angry because of the place. This was quiet bad situation. Also it was the hardest while we are doing the display board. 1~2 weeks later, my mom and dad came to see the work and assembly. The assembly was good. All thing was successful. <span style="color: #8bcbf9; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20.8px;">Migration

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">We are learning about migration which is our last unit. I didn't know what is migration and also I never heard about it. So I thought that it will be hard. Then Ms.Jo explained to us and I understood it. That time, I knew what is it mean. It means that the people are living there country because of there are too little spaces and they can't find a job. Long ago, they lived because of war.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">After little while, Ms.Jo showed us the video and we took a note. Ms. Jo actually show us that video twice.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Later, I went to EAL and that time, Ms.Beth showed us that video which I saw. So basically, I checked the meaning of migration again. That was the end of the EAL.
