Diagrams of Our Thinking

We have been working in groups during Inquiry, helping each other thinking about important ideas to do with Social change.  It's important to get our heads together to do the thinking!

We have been exploring different ways to present our thinking with diagrams.  Here we have used a Problem, Response, Action, Effect chart to show how an historical figure in New Zealand history, Michael Jospeh Savage brought about change.

We found out that investigative journalist Nicky Hager was involved in protests to encourage New Zealand to be Nuclear Free.  Through their encouragement the Government adopted nuclear free policy.

This is a Ripple Effect Chart showing how every cause has many potential consequences of effects.  This one is imaging the effects if we had a whole lot of new students from the Ukraine or some other country.

It is a great way to synthesise thinking about complex issues and ideas.
