Next bit

Today we had a chat about the project, we re-mapped where we wanted to go.

This is what we came up with:



A bit hard to read but we want to connect kids from different communities to compare/contrast health statistics.  Is it enough for the kids just to compare?

There are still some questions that need to be answered about this unit/project:
What's the point?
Why are we connecting the communities?
How can we design this project so that all the communities benefit?
What will the kids produce?
Is it enough for the kids to see a different community in detail or does there have to be a global effect as a result of the investigation?
Can we work some element of design into the project?
Could we possibly do an investigation of diet/exercise and the effects on health within the different communities?
Will the kids find this interesting?

I think the next step is to ask the kids - a select few, and see if they can bring a different point of view to the project.  Can they see something that would be interesting that we just see?

I've designed a presentation to put to the kids.  I see this as the next place to go...  I meant to do it today but I didn't have the time...
