'Making Conclusions' is the fifth phase of an inquiry-based unit investigation.
The 'Making Conclusions' phase's purpose is to:
- assist students to make conclusions and generalisations about the topic
- assess and demonstrate students' progress towards the planned understandings, skills and values throughout the unit
- inform further planning
- encourage students to reflect on their learning
- foster each student's ability to synthesise their learning and to see the 'big picture' ideas behind a topic
- help students explore and justify their feelings and values related to a topic
- provide a point of comparison for students between the ideas generated at the beginning of the unit and those evident now
- develop metacognitive abilities
Student Questions
- What is my main point I wish to make?
- Who is my audience?
- How does it connect to what we are studying?
- How do I use media to express my message?
- What would I do differently in my next presentation?
- How do I feel about my audience’s response?
