PYP EXHIBITION (2) - THE PROCESS

As I told you before, I am trying to give you - the readers - a clearer picture of our PYP exhibition process.

In Tunas Muda International School - Meruya Site - few months ago, the students started their PYP exhibition with a front-loading from our PYP-coordinator, Massy Sitompul. Basically, the session was a brainstorming or tuning-in session where the students discussed the concept and skill they had had. Massy was really an inspiration for the students to see all the exhibition preparation sound and alive.

The next step was the finding step. The students have set their exhibition goals. They discussed within their group about the action and product. I had a "wow" moment when one group came to me and asked whether their questions had been good enough to be presented. I looked at their paper and could not believe that it was them making all the questions. The questions were a living proof how they knew how to start critical thinking. All things in the concept-driven questions were there to name a few such as form, change, causation, connection and reflection. Then they asked me if I could join them in an interview with some sources people. Why not?

Here are some pictures when I accompanied them interviewing some experts at Binus University and C'n'S Magazine. More news to come..


Blessing,
