Central idea: The interdependence between systems and natural
reasons determines the success of a community. (12)
Date:
Essential Question
How does the relationship between the systems we create and the
natural resources in our environment help us build a successful
community?
o What is a society/community?
o What does a society/community need to be successful?
o How do systems and natural resources affect peoples lives?
o How can we be active members of a society?
Through the decisions they make about building their community, we will assess
their understanding on the lines of inquiry.
How will the classroom environment, local environment, and/or the community be used to facilitate the inquiry?
How you could improve on the assessment task(s) so that you would have a
more accurate picture of each students understanding of the central idea.
What was the evidence that connections were made between the central idea
and the transdisciplinary theme?
At this point teachers should go back to box 2 What do we want to learn? and
highlight the teacher questions/provocations that were most effective in driving the
inquiries.
