Our Inquiry Cycle, Essential Agreements, and Lines Of Inquiry:
Annie:
Tuning in is very exciting! Its when you can brainstorm, make ideas and just explore your topic. Tuning in is how ideas are born, and perspectives are formed.
Tuning In
Our Inquiry Cycle
Finding Out
Taking Action
Annie:
This is one of the most important steps in our cycle. Taking action is where all of your learning and ideas come in place and really make a change.

Sorting Out
Sophie:
During the exhibition , we were following the six steps of the Inquiry Cycle. Today I will be talking to you about the third step. It’s called Sorting Out. It means you're at that point when you have enough information, and you know enough about your topic to begin writing. At this point, we had plenty of information and we began ’sorting out’ all the things we knew into writing pieces, comics, and games. Now, if you look around the website, you’ll find posters and poems that were made during the sorting out stage.
Reflection
Going Further
Nick:
One of the biggest parts of the exhibition is when we have to reflect on our work. When we reflect on our work we find places that we can improve on so the finished product can be even better!
Sophie:
During the exhibition, we were following the six steps of the Inquiry Cycle. Today I will be talking to you about the fourth step. It’s called Going Further. It means you're reviewing your work to be able to take it just a bit further and then putting all together. It’s when you feel you're almost done and you’ve learned things you want the world to know. This website was made while going further. We took all our writing, games, and comics and put it all together on this website.
Our Essential Agreements:
We agreed to talk to each other about everything... We need trust. Even if it’s a social life problem.
We will agree to disagree and we will not get mad at each other for disagreeing we all have our own opinions. Don't hold grudges!
We will listen to each other's ideas and let each other type.
We will be there for each other and be there in the struggles of the Exhibition!
We will work as a team.
