11/6 (Thursday) First Year High School General Presentation
Pre-Sakai City Well-Being Project: Group Presentation
As part of the Sakai City Well-Being Project, our Grade 1 students worked in groups to explore local topics and think deeply about how to discuss the following themes:
- How can Kansai International Airport operate 24 hours a day?
- What if we had a Starbucks on school grounds?
- How can we make better use of the Ancient Burial Mound (Kofun)?
Each group investigated merits and demerits, and considered the counterarguments to reach a conclusion. By researching using reliable sources, and by looking at both the good and bad sides, students were able to consider different opinions and worked together to reach a supported conclusion.
Through this project, students learned how to use data and information to support their ideas, and how to think critically about certain issues. It was a great opportunity to connect learning with the local area!
今回もネイティブの教員に、自国の目線で高1対象のtasteSTEMⅡを見学いただきコメントをいただきましたので英語での投稿です。受験生の皆さんはぜひ英語の勉強も兼ねて読んでみてください!
夏休み明けからPre堺Well-Beingプロジェクトを行っており、この日は調べ学習の成果を発表する日でした。事前に生徒にはインターネットでの情報収集のやり方・注意点を伝え、教員から提示した本校~堺~南大阪のテーマからひとつを選び、グループで考えを深めてもらいました。(Pre堺Well-Beingプロジェクトは「堺」と言いながら、南大阪まで視点を広げながら進めました。)
来週からは本番の堺Well-Beingプロジェクトに向けて、それぞれのコースの色を出しながら、「堺」を知り、よりよくするための提案や物・サービスなどを生徒に考えてもらう予定です。
お楽しみに!
