We have a topic! The grade five students voted on Friday and they agreed that the topic for this year's exhibition should be centered around technology! Great job working together and voting on what you are interested in inquiring about!

Now, we are going to start looking into exactly what that means. Watch the video above to see how technology is changing our world. Then, I would love to hear what your thoughts are on our new topic!

What types of technology might be interesting for an inquiry? What issues about technology are concerning students around the world today? In what ways does technology impact your life and your future?

I've posted a poll for you to take and some new sites on the left for you to explore and I look forward to your comments as well!

Wow, Great Graffiti!

As you can see from the video, it's day two of the Graffiti Wall and we now have some comments on the wall!  A few of the classes have started walking by and writing their thoughts about the three exhibition topics.

The questions for the graffiti wall are: 
1. What is the exhibition?
2. What local or global topic should we investigate for exhibition?
3. How do you feel about doing the exhibition this year?

Although it's still too early to tell yet, some of the repeated suggestions for the exhibition topic this year are impact of technology, bullying, and contamination.  Wow!  What a diverse group of topics we are starting with!  I'm really looking forward to seeing what gets chosen!

As a student in the exhibition, why do you like/not like writing your ideas on the graffiti wall? How does seeing the ideas of the other students help you think more deeply about exhibition?

As always, I look forward to reading your comments!  Keep up the great graffiti-ing!
Miss Jessica :)
