Ideas

**Ideas on how to introduce the MYP to the students: **
Recently I talked to a MYP coordinator from another school and she told me that, at her school in Atlanta, they plan a 2 day induction project at the beginning of every school year to present the programme to the children. The project is called [|AQUA VITAE] and deals with issues regarding access to water sources. The students need to "Build" an effective water transportation system following a series of guidelines provided by Ministers which are directly related to the areas of interaction. At the end of the experience students reflect on different issues and are formally introduced to the Areas of Interaction and other important aspects of the programme. According to her, this has been a great opportunity to actually see the programme in action and make sure the students understand the Areas of Interaction in a meaningful, real life situation.

Hello all. I hope you had a great holiday and are all looking forward to start this new year. I have been working on the video and as Stephanie predicted the children testimonials were not that great. I will try to creatively edit it. (It will need a lot of creativity but...) But while I was at it I found this video. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Christianne

=Power Point Presentation =

It seems there are not that many videos related to the AOI, I found a PP presentation, it is from the the IB but there are some slides that can be used to talk to the students in detail about them. I also typed a kind of rubric we can take into acount when the students are working on the AOI presentation.
