Module 2 Central Idea
The achievements of pioneering individuals can have a lasting effect on both local and global communities.
In the Primary Years Programme (PYP), a Central Idea is the core of a unit of study. Think of it as a single, powerful statement that acts as a "big idea" that all the learning revolves around. It's a broad, enduring concept that goes beyond just a specific topic, encouraging children to make connections across different subjects.
Module 2 Lines of Inquiry
1. Identify people in the past who achieved something important
2. Explain how achievements of the pioneering individuals changed life for people in their own local community and across the world
3. Reflect on how the values and actions of past pioneers continue to inspire people today to make new achievements
A line of inquiry is a specific focus or a key question that helps guide and structure your child's learning. Think of it as a sub-topic that breaks down a bigger, more complex idea. The lines of inquiry are the different avenues we take to explore the central idea. They help children dig deeper, ask more specific questions, and make connections between different subjects. This approach encourages your child to be an active, curious learner who takes ownership of their education.
