Exhibition Update #1

 Dear ISL Community,

The Year 6 Students are off and running on the IBPYP Exhibition!

Back in October and November the students were introduced to the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals. After discussing each one in brief, the students chose the issue they were most passionate about and explained why in a persuasive paragraph.  

Here are the issues selected by the Year 6 Students: 

• No Poverty

• Good Health and Well-being

• Quality Education

• Gender Equality

• Affordable and Clean Energy

• Decent Work and Economic Growth

• Sustainable Cities and Communities

• Responsible Consumption and Production

• Climate Action

• Life on Land

• Life Below Water

Here is where the students are at in their Exhibition journey as of January 28th. 

• Created an initial list of questions based on the 8 key concepts 

• Developed an Exhibition Google Site, led by Ms. Reddy 

• Began research by taking notes in the form of mind-maps and Cornell notes from secondary sources 

• Reflecting through writing journal entries/blog posts 

• Introduced to MLA citation for their biography page on the Google Site, led by Ms. Chilambu 

  

Next Steps for February: 

• Continue researching to include primary sources (interviews and surveys) (January/February)

• Continue updating their journal entries/blog posts 

• Create a survey or interview an expert in a field related to their issue as a primary source of information for their research 

• Begin generating ideas for the presentation portion of the PYP Exhibition 

Regards, 

The Year 6 Students and Teachers
