The next step was to brainstorm again issues that we find interesting or connected to. This was a time consuming task and took several lessons. These lessons include a discussion on primary and secondary source information. In Exhibition, we encourage greater use of primary sources.
Here a some of the issues students thought of that could looked at...
From this list of issues, we narrowed down the list by each student voting for three issues that they might be interested in inquiring into. This is the list we ended up with... (the issues that are highlighted are the ones that have been crossed out)
Our next challenge is for students to begin to think about what issues we would like to inquire into from that final list above. Then students can post their preferences to the teachers so that groups can be formed.
