Grade 5 Unit of Inquiry Site - Yokohama International School

Grade 5 Teachers & Students // For Unit Two,

We're inquiring into how unequal or irresponsible distribution or sharing of finite natural resources can lead to conflict, and how we can resolve and manage conflict.

We need to understand first of all how all resources and humans are all connected, what the different perspectives are about sharing, and how we can be responsible for one another.

Thanks for sharing your ideas, perspectives, and new understanding!

When I was a soldier

Posted by email

When I was a soldier By Valerie Zenatti.
The book I am reading about child soldiers, is called 'when I was a soldier'. It's a true story about Valerie Zenatti when she was about 18 she had to go to war with her two best friends: Rahel and Yulia. This book was very interesting though I have not finished reading it all. It shows a life of being in an army.

I think this book was a good resource but it did not have good information
about the lack of water. it was intresting and had information about other
topics but not really any about having no water.
conor.
