=Reflection on our RISE Inquiry= =Please fill out the boxes below=

Steps and model was a good guide. Skills focus for learning. Use of ICT. Direction determined by kids interests. Deadlines help keep inquiry on track. Smaller groups and choosing members. Some children choosing to work on their own. I - independent C - Cooperative group T - teacher group || inspiring/motivating. Limited in time. Resources difficult to access at times. Children reluctant to read information found. || At least a whole term to carry out inquiry. Focus on Surf/Slurp/Summarise and note taking. Concrete contexts for kids. The effect needs to be of value to the children. Visual displays for RISE model on classroom wall. ||
