GRADE 9 GEOGRAPHY SENIOR SCHOOL
The objective of this online summative inquiry was to encourage students to stay present during HSC@home, reflect on their experience and get outside to observe their community and its natural environment. The goal was to get students to “live geography.”
Students worked through the steps of geographic inquiry to prepare an artifact to remember this time in their lives and submit an entry to a time capsule that will be geocached for rediscovery in Grade 12.
