Reply To: Year 9 (Grade 8) Interdisciplinary Signature Work Inquiry @ Blanchelande College
Students are drafting their essays and I am deeply impressed by the quality of their work (click on image to enlarge), especially considering that more broadly we are working to centre education in the learning process, rather than in the teaching process, encourage initiative and independence on the part of students, and bring students to grips with original thought as expressed in books and other media.
Edit: I will develop this further, but I should add that this is a sure way to develop academic integrity and to be sure of academic integrity. Furthermore, read what these students have written, or, better yet, discuss it with them, and you will be in no doubt about how much they have learnt for themselves, and how deeply they have learnt it.
