I want to share about a collaboration strategy called: INQUIRY CIRCLE .
I loved this!! Project based learning helps students create their own understanding and knowledge.
The whole project starts with ASKING questions.
The topic I chose for this activity was ANCIENT INDIA.
Students were divided into 5 groups. Each group had a big topic ( Religion, Lifestyle, Society, Government, Kingdoms), and each member was in charge of a subtopic.
Therefore, each student was able to develop their own subtopic with questions to base their research.
After they have created the questions they searched for answers. The whole point is for them to come up with OPEN ENDED questions that allows them to fully explain and describe the topic chosen.
Once every student is done with their QUESTIONS and ANSWERS, altogether they created a presentation using PREZI to present and show results and findings.
Also, at the end they wrote the words the learned during the process of the Inquiry Circle.
The cool part is that since every student had their own subtopic, they were able to teach others, making it somehow like a "jigsaw learning" practice.
