My Student Role

This is what I need to do during this year’s Exhibition:

• Know the purpose of the Exhibition

• Individually select a real-life issue to inquiry into the Exhibition

• Develop a central idea and lines of inquiry

• Create deep, ‘burning’ questions to drive my inquiry

• Use a variety of primary (e.g.: first-hand experiences interviews, surveys, field trips) and secondary (e.g.: books, websites, video, newspapers) resources to support my inquiry

• Make reference to any sources I use during my inquiry

• Collaborate effectively and regularly with my class, teachers, coaches (mentors), other students, and my parents

• Keep a regularly updated record of my Exhibition process by keeping a journal (physical or digital) that includes reflection, photos, workpieces, and sketches

• Show examples of written work

• Conduct presentations, individually or in a group, to the school community and a wider audience

• Use technology in a variety of ways

• Perform and compose in any art form (dance, music, drama, visual arts, film, or mixed media)

• Take (or plan to take) personal action with new understandings I gained from my inquiry

• Participate in self and peer assessment

• Celebrate my learning by presenting my Exhibition process and findings to the school community and a wider audience.
