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!

In many parts of the world people use children to fight in the wars for a few reasons. Usually the children are boys kidnapped from their family or village by the warlords and told if they don't fight the warlords will do bad things to their family. Sometimes the children are orphans that don't have a home and promising to fight in the war becomes a way to earn food, a place to stay, and protection. In other cases, the children used to fight are from a place taken over by another group and they need all able bodied people, children too, to protect what they have. But it usually boils down to a group of people that can't or won't get the adults to follow their rules or way of life, and it is usually to get children that are away from their families to conform out of fear.

Children are easy to toss around with like slaves because they will do almost everything they are told. Some children will do things that adults woun't do.
