The Big Questions

• At the beginning of each cross-curricular context, staff will carry out a knowledge harvest to ascertain what they pupils already know and what they would like to find out about the context.

• Staff will work with the pupils to classify similar questions to shape each Big Question of which there are usually 3 or 4.

• One of the Big Questions will naturally develop into the Interdisciplinary Learning focus from which rich tasks are planned.

• Staff will plan the learning carefully to ensure that sufficient knowledge, understanding and relevant skills are taught/developed through the cross-curricular learning in order for the pupils to be able to complete the IDL rich tasks with success which allows for personalisation and choice.
