Module 3 Central Idea
Artistic expression influences our cultural and world views
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 3 Lines of Inquiry
1. Identify and explain different forms of artistic expression
2. Compare and contrast how art is used to communicate cultural and individual ideas and creativity
3. Reflect on modern forms of art and how it expresses our current worldviews
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.
