Well, there’s the sun… so that

direction is UP!

Unit Assessment

$4 Billion + some change

Unit Question

Major ConceptEverything came from somewhere; how did

everything come to be?

How will we use these concepts to analyze the unit question?

• By analyzing environments– Specifically, the interdependence of humans and

both the natural and man-made environment

Unit Project

• Research a case study concerning causes and effects of changes in our environment

• Orally present your findings to the class• Submit a hard copy of your presentation

You don’t have to change your unit!

Health and Social Education– How can “misreading” a recipe impact individuals

and communities?

“Although we all like symmetry, it is really imperfection that we owe our existence to.” –Dmitri Kharzeev

Unit Assessment

• Make your own organisms– Build an imaginary

– Build a second organism with an error in its recipe

– Describe how the recipes were followed and compare the resulting organisms

scaffolding.“You need to know so you can answer the unit question or __ on your final assessment”

Scaffolding• Use some scaffolding

activities that DIRECTLY relate to the MYP question, concept, AOI, or assessment.

Approaches to Learning Activity: Forming Questions
