Students then had to generate some questions connected to each Line of Inquiry. They will attempt to answer all of these questions throughout their PYP Exhibition. These questions are a combination of thick and thin questions, so students will need a variety of types of sources to get their answers.
Here are some examples of the questions students genereated...

(Subaru) "I can think a little bit, but still I need a lot of help. I need to think more."
(Kai Cho) "I have not planned anything, and I do not always work as effectively as possible. I need a lot of help with this still. "
(Kaai Li) "I think my self-management skills developed a lot, now I can concentrate and I can find a place where I can concentrate."
(Chaewon) "I feel very nice because taking responsibility for all personal belongings are very important and I’m taking care of my stuff like cubby my desk.."

Literacy Focus - Writing for Change
Throughout the Exhibition, students will have choice on how they will inspire change through their writing.
To start off the writing lessons this week, students reviewed the reasons why people writing - to inform, to persuade, and to entertain. Students chose their purpose for writing throughout the PYP Exhibition, using their strengths, or skills they want to develop.
They brainstormed ways in which their writing can inspire others, and what is best for the right audience and topic.
They then watched videos of young people using their writing skills to inspire change.

Action and Values
Action and Values
Students looked at the list of values and highlighted their top 5-10 that were the most important to them. The idea is that the actions they choose to take connected to their issue/topic should align with their personal values.
Students looked at the different types of action that can be taken (especially for a grade 5 student), thought about some different actions they can take (connected to their issue/topic, and grouped those actions into who they would have the most impact on.
They then chose a few of those actions, and reflected on how they would best match up with their personal values
Kaai Li's actions, and how they align with her values.
Kai Cho's actions, and how they align with his values.
Chaewon's actions, and how they align with her values.
