June 19th - Science 9 Cap due
EVERYTHING IS FOR MARKS
YOU BAD MONKEYS
Both Classes: June ? - Incomplete Days. No instruction. No attendance. Come to complete projects and things due. It's your last chance to improve your mark!
SKILLS FOR THE FUTURE!
At the heart of our lessons, we aim to develop the 7 Cs of learning:
- Curiosity
- Connection
- Communication
- Collaboration
- Community, and of course,
- Critical and Creative Thinking.
Not everyone will go on to become a scientist, but everyone benefits from learning how to approach challenges with curiosity, creativity, and an open mind. Your goal is not to memorize answers, but to learn how to ask good questions. In this class, you to think critically, find different views, question sources and draw your own conclusions, creating something meaningful. This is very important when the topics relate to practical, real life things!
You may be thinking: why research when ChatGPT can give me answers in seconds? The reason is simple: while technology can provide data and conclusions quickly, it can’t replace the deep thinking you will develop by exploring an issue on your own. Struggling, questioning, and exploring both sides of an issue strengthen your brain in ways that shortcuts never will!
So, why the 7 Cs? To be honest, we don’t know what kinds of jobs will be available when you graduate. The only thing we know is, this skills are useful no matter what you do. The future really need these skills. The jobs of the future need it. The society of the future, even more so. Without them, people risk making choices based on what’s easiest or most entertaining, rather than what’s wise. And that can have serious consequences.
School may seem full of useless stuff, but how else are we supposed to teach you these important skills? Just yelling “BE MORE CURIOUS” doesn’t work. Instead, teachers give you opportunities to get curious! All the things you do in high school are the tools which we are using to teach you those skills. The goal is to think critically about information, question sources, and synthesize ideas to draw your own conclusions. By doing this, you are learning to solve real-world problems, make informed decisions, and develop your creativity.
Hopefully this makes sense! I really want you to succeed and have the ability to grab opportunities as they come, no matter what your destiny brings. So buckle up and come with me on this journey!
