Modeling Our Thinking...Offering Feedback!

4/20/2020

 
With all this figuring out about erosion and weathering, we were in a good place!  At the beginning of our unit, we set out to answer some pretty interesting questions...
Picture
All these questions felt answerable to us!  We spent a few days developing the models and then offered feedback to one another with a new app called Jamboard. We're doing this work remotely both individually and together as well as both live and asynchronously!
After discussing the feedback we gave to our peers we created a checklist to build out our last final model that would explain how Everest grows and shrinks! Each of Mrs. Brinza's two sections built out different checklists, but we're working towards the same goal!  Way to go 6th graders!
Check back in a week as students are being given time to develop their models by creating an online book!  We'll be sharing our models then!

    I've never been to Nepal to see Mt. Everest, but I have seen Mt. Rainier and was BLOWN away when I saw it for the first time...
