Students researching on sources of energy through books and case studies
On Tuesday they set up an energy museum. Thier museum comprised of models and experiments through which they displayed their understanding of
'the ways in which energies are transformed from one form to another'.
Very soon the photographs of the energy museum will be uploaded. Many photographs have already been uploaded in the facebook account of 'The Aga Khan Academy'.
In English students have been dwelling over and understanding the genere of 'Persuasive Writing'. Persuasive writing was carried out through introduction of the structure and followed up with integration of 'novel study' and 'unit of enquiry'.
In the activity where unit (Governance), was integrated with language, students chose an issue or cause related to environment or society. Thereafter they justified their causes with sufficient reasons, examples and statistics in order to prove their point and convince the government authorities to act upon it. Below are some photographs of students preparing for their persuasive essay in groups. They also had a chance to have some discussions with grade 9 students. Alec from grade 9 gave some valuable inputs to the grade 5 students.
After discussing and debating with each other, students created a draft, followed by the final product. They presented their persuasive essay in groups.
