What's it like to INQUIRE?

WHO INSPIRES YOU? Children chose a very important person to learn about --someone who has impact on society & a source of iinspiration for them. They went through the inquiry cycle to examine, discuss & arrive at new understandings: what makes a leader? how does a leader inspire? are leaders born or made? Finally, the class came with their final project presentations for sharing to inspire schoolmates. Interesting choices among our Gr 5-7 sy 2012:
