IB Key Concepts help us guide our inquiries. Today we have looked into understanding the Key Concepts and where our initial questions fit in. To do this we went through an example of an issue, ‘graffiti’, and brainstormed some questions around it.
We then tried to match the questions to the Key Concepts. What we discovered was that some questions can align with more than one Key Concept and questions can be interpreted differently depending how they are written. As a group we certainly seemed to get the hang of it.
We also started to discuss the notion of having related concepts. From the above brainstorm, we noticed that a common thread in amongst some of the questions was ‘impacts’. ‘Impacts’ could be used as a related concept.
The next task was to sort out existing questions onto a Lotus Grid that organises the Key Concepts.
Once we have organised our existing questions, it is time to brainstorm more and begin to use some critical thinking skills and deciding whether the questions posed fit with the theme of Sharing the Planet.
