Inquiry process: communicating findings

Social Studies concepts:

  • co operative effort
  • confidence
  • achievement

Learning outcomes:

Students will be able to:

  • identify the range of roles Sir Edmund Hillary took on during his ascent of Mt. Everest and some strategies he used to fulfill them.
  • describe the ways that Sir Edmund Hillary acquired and exercised leadership during the ascent
  • identify the skills and knowledge Sir Edmund Hillary needed to use and develop to be successful in achieving his goals
  • describe some ways that his knowledge and skills as a leader have been exercised after his successful ascent of Mt. Everest

TASK:

The team is now ready for the final push to the summit - the top of the world!

After exploring the ideas in the final text of Focus 10 consider :

  • how you might try and replicate that sense of achievement experienced by Sir Edmund Hillary with each individual member of the class
  • how the class might plan to celebrate their own achievements in learning and those of Sir Edmund Hillary and his team
  • how their successes, new knowledge and skills might be shared with others in the school and community
  • how their knowledge base and skills can be built on and used across a range of areas.
  • are we born to leadership or are we made?
  • how each class member can be given an opportunity to learn and demonstrate leadership in some area just as Sir Edmund Hillary was given the opportunity.

Take a photo, shake hands , give a hug, celebrate your achievement, look forward to new challenges and enjoy your future successes.
