Words to Live By

Day One- We discussed and brainstormed in groups. What are the ‘Words We Live By’ How do words shape who we are, direct, guide and keep us safe and well? (and living in harmony)

We then started exploring rights, responsibility, law, communication, negotiation, contracts, agreements and more, and how they all tie together.

I have been so impressed by the class discussions, brainstorming and higher order thinking.


We also explored some scenarios such as ‘ We have a right to grow trees in our garden but does our neighbour have a right to a view’

We then discussed, ‘how would it change if you were building an extra story onto your house, that blocked your neighbours view’

More discussion…

Thinking about all that we have covered we are now creating Mindmaps in order to clarify, make connections and elaborate on what we have learned over the last few days.

Making mind maps showed how much we have learned, and its only the very start of the term!
