makes you think of different ways of looking at it

Helping students understand how the wider world works

Grade 6 Students say:

                • I definitely think that we should have some more guest speakers come and talk to us again because it is very motivating and it is nice to find out about other peoples perspectives on life.

                  I think we should do this again because it was interesting and I learned a lot

                •  

                • I learned that you can find things out about yourself
                • I like how you can see what everyone else wrote.

                •  

                • Always ask questions when your not sure what it is

                • Questions with YES or NO as an answer aren't as effective.
                  Think about your question before asking it.

                 

                I learned that asking questions educate you way more than allowing yourself, to have no idea what people are talking about. I also learned that having one word answers to a questions doesn't get you very much information. Ask questions that give you a longer interesting answer. That will help you understand more of what they're talking about.

                 

                • i liked the saying "take care of the environment because it takes care of us"

                 

                • I learned about asking more interesting questions instead of lame questions that have lame answers!!

                 

                • i learned that dreams can be done. I think the speakers all had dreams and they all accomplished them. I also learned that writing question can make a conversation when you may not even know them. I also learned that how to write a very good question and make sense. I also learned that a simple dream can do so much.

                 

                • This was so amazing we should really do it again this was a good experience

                   

                • I think it helps a little bit to get more than 1 person's opinion about 1 topic. I thought it was interesting to learn from so many people about so many different things. Especially about the "planters on the rooftops!"

                   

                • We should do this again some other time because questions are very important so people can learn about new things and they get to know what people are thinking about.

                   

                • It is great that you need to ask the question for them to start talking because the big intros are usually boring and for this you need to ask good questions.

                • I liked the idea of getting kids of all ages involved with helping the environment.

                   

                • These people are very inspiring. Matthew Kemshaw even rode his bike all the way to our school just to say his presentation. And I think why these people talk to us and why we should want them too is because we need to know. because we can make a change to if we know how and have a little bit of encouraging.

                   

                • i will help save the world because of that speech

                   

                • it's better than a video because you can actually ask people questions

                   

                • I liked that people are now caring about the environment and how kids like us can make a big difference

                   

                • It is different to hear everyone perspective on the same topic, it makes you think of different ways of looking at it

                   

                • They didn't focus on the negative.They were all about the positive.
