Grade 5 Unit of Inquiry Site

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!

This book was a story about a kid named Ryan who wanted to build a well in
Africa and his pen pal Jimmy.
the story was sad and interesting but did'nt really help.

Hey Kaden,
Although you might not have found specific factual info, did the book change your perspective about what you do want to find out?

Yes, it did a bit it was a really good story
and it was amazing that a 7 year old was so determined to build a well and
that he followed through with it.
