Directions:
What question are you trying to investigate? We use this at TISA to investiate Career and Future Thinking-- so "What do I want to do/work/study after TISA?"
Start on the Blue- Define: Thinking about Me hexagon. Click on it, and make a copy of the document. (Each of the following hexagon's in the circle are active links. ) Spend some time working through the work sheet and the questions.
When you feel you have good information click on the "Imagine" hexagon at the bottom and again make a copy of the work sheet and work through the worksheat.
Start building your "Prototype" of what each of those three answers might look like in the real world through the resources on the "Prototype", hexagon.
Take those Prototypes into the real world by finding real people to talk to through an informational interview process. (An Informational session is held by TISA, and led by M4 students in second semester every year, but students are also engage in this process as individuals.)
If at anytime a student is feeling like their current paths are not headed in the right direction they can go back and redefine what they are looking for -- the Define hexagon, and keep working around the cycle.
Purpose: Is to 1) teach a life skill of a method of approach to finding an answer or path for big questions, like "What do I want to do next?". This is based on the Design Cycle that students are using in the MYP Design classes. Students use this same thought process 2) to engage with future thinking for themselves. (Career and Post secondary educational options) They gather information, and create possible paths to finding an answer (prototypes), and then engage with that information in the real world (Informational Interviews). If they discover that they still do not have an answer they can continue by going back to gathering more information and continuing around the cycle.
