Thinking About Innovation - AISG HS EAL Block E
A few days ahead of the project launch, HS students were asked to informally answer this question on chart paper while walking through the hallways: "What challenges will China face in the next decade?" HS EAL Block E students then used the master list of answers, as well as information they had investigated on their own, to frame a student-led discsussion. One student stepped forward to moderate the discussion, which ended with all agreeing that they would like to focus their attention on air pollution. After identifying 3 major sources of air pollution in China, they chose to divide into groups, with each group working on defining the source of the problem, as well as possible solutions to think about as we move forward. The group moderator created a shared PowerPoint for students to document their ideas.
