C105: Going Local to Global (Part 2)

Send us Fan MailIn the last episode, we talked about going from a local issue to more globally minded.  I used the PZ visible thinking routine, Projecting Across Distance as an example.  As I went through this past week, I realized that this may be a bit advanced for some people, so I scoured my files to find something that might be an easier starting point.  A tool that I really like is Investigate, Organize, Generalize by Rachel French.  It helps to scaffold the process of going from a local issue to a more global focus. To begin the process, think of a big idea that you will be exploring in your unit.  For mine, I chose culture, since this is a universal concept in Who We Are and How We Express Ourselves. Let’s take a look at this strategy in action to bring about more local and global inquiry in your context.
