4VH+Wonders

Fourth grade students have been working on an inquiry based independent research project. We wanted them to find a topic of their choosing and then follow their "wonders" to find out more. We began by browsing through the Wonderopolis  site to see what kinds of questions were being asked and answered with these wonders. Then the students brainstormed things they were curious about. We used a KWHL chart so they could make note of what information they already knew about their topic and what kind of information they wanted to know. We spent time talking about how they would find this information and did a lesson on smart searching and on choosing their search terms. The students spent a few days researching and refining their search terms and filling in the Learned part of their chart. We introduced them to Thinglink  and Google Slides so they could share their wonders with you.
