Unpacking the Transdiciplinary Theme
Writing Our Class Central Idea
Writing Our Class Central Idea
Students and teachers collaborate to develop the unit and its central idea together. Students looked at examples of previous central ideas from their K-5 journey through the PYP. They highlighted the verbs and nouns in these different examples. Then, in small groups, they wrote sentence strips using colored verbs and nouns to write and share their ideas for our class central idea. Once we had examples from each group we analyzed them and combined them into one class central idea: Healthy habits and choices impact our personal well-being.
