"I enjoy learning about children's rights because I can find out information about kids around the world"

Here are some things I care about, and some actions I can take to make the world a little better
The one word I think about when working on the PYP Exhibition is Possibility. I chose this because I trust that I can do it! I can learn and know many things and have a very enjoyable experience!
Week 3 - Jan. 29 - Feb. 2
During this week, students chose their PYP Exhibition focus. They will choose their lines of inquiry. On Thursday Feb. 1, they will have the chance to share about how their learning journal brought them to this decision with our learning community in our first Present, Connect, Reflect.

Week 4 - March 18 - 22
During this week, students are really getting started with their research, and organise their research in their own way (planning for how to use the different components of MISO). They get to meet with their mentor for the first time. They set new goals using the approaches to learning skills, and thought about possible ideas for action.
Mentor Meeting
I had my first mentor meeting this week with Ms. Tresia. We talked about our topic (cancer) and some of the hobbies that I have. I am really interested in art, and I am good at making posters. This might be something that I could work on as an action for my PYPx. Ms. Tresia was really helpful, and said I could stop by anytime, and get her help whenever I needed it.
What I am Proud of...
This week we learned about different ways we can do research - MISO (Media, Interviews, Surveys, and Observations). I am proud of the work I did with this task
Reflection
As part of our PYP Exhibition, we are always reflecting. Here is my reflection at the end of the week for all the great stuff I have done this week, and some things I need to improve on for next week.
Week 5 - March 25 - 29
This week is another week of strong research. Students will also be preparing for their writing piece that will last their entire PYP Exhibition. They have complete choice on how they will Write for Change. On Friday, we will have parents in for our second Present, Connect, Reflect session.
Sustainable Development Goals
The UN Sustainable Development Goals provide some goals for students to work towards during their PYP Exhibition. Through their research and actions, they can help towards meeting these goals.
Present, Connect, Reflect
Today we had our second Present, Connect, Reflect with our parents. We talked about our process so far, and shared all of our research that we have done so far. We all started off talking with our own parents, then talked to other parents in the class. We will do this one more time this school year before we have our final sharing event on April 23-25.
Week 6 - April 1-5
With only two weeks left for research, students will finish their research for Line of Inquiry 1, and move onto the other two lines of inquiry. They will find a way to connect with someone (or many someones) to gather information for their primary source. Students will work with their teacher to co-construct the success criteria for the assessment piece completed by their teacher over the last four weeks of the Exhibition process.
My Primary Source
My primary source for my research is an interview with a person who had cancer. The questions I am asking in this are as follows:
If you had to give any advice to someone about preventing cancer, what would you say?
If you could go back to the past, what would you change in order to prevent cancer?
Have you changed any habits in your life after getting cancer?
What kind of medication did you have to take when you were in treatment?
Have you changed your diet as a result of having cancer? If yes, explain how.
When you had cancer what little or big changes did you make?
This connects to my Line of Inquiry # 3, which is, "I am learning about changes people can make to prevent cancer"
*Picture coming soon*
Big Understandings
My big understandings about my first line of inquiry are as follows:
I now understand that... *coming soon*
Week 6 Reflection
Week 7 - April 8 - 12
Last week of research! Students will come to an end of their "finding out" time, and move onto creating next week. Many students will take part in an interview, or look to get more information from a survey this week in order to round out their MISO needs. They will have their final Present, Connect, Reflect with the parent community on Wednesday, and connect with a school in the Philippines to discuss the PYPx process on Thursday.
Present, Connect, Reflect
This week, I was assessed on these success criteria for our Present, Connect, Reflect:
Asks for and listens to feedback from the learning community. Uses feedback to improve work on occasion.
Presents their work with minimal use of a script. Speaks clearly and loudly, sometimes adapting to the audience.
Here's how I think I did on these goals:
LOI #3 - What Did I learn?
My most interesting piece of media that I read/watched was a website/article/video called "-----". It was interesting because...
My whole learning jourey of research was ** because...
Week 7 Reflection
Week 8 - April 15 - 19
This week, the students are creating provocations that represent the learning that has gone on over the last 8 weeks. They are also preparing for their community sharing next week.
Creating my Provocation
This week, we are creating something that was inspired by our research. Here are some pictures of me working through the process of my creation. This will be my "invitation to a conversation" when presenting to the HIS learning community.
Week 8 Reflection
Week 9 - April 22 - 26
Our process has come to a close! This week, the students will share their learning with the HIS community. Below are pictures of this happening, and a reflection on the whole process (including assessments).
